In late 2006, Asus launched the Republic of Gamers product line with the Crosshair, quickly followed up by the Striker Extreme. This July, Asus introduced the Blitz Extreme and Blitz Formula, Intel P35 Express-based motherboards supporting DDR3 and DDR2 respectively. PC Perspective has just posted a review of the Asus Blitz Formula motherboard.

Here’s what they had to say:

“The Asus Blitz Formula truly is a magnificent motherboard specimen; by offering up a great set of features on a P35 motherboard and designing it for high speed overclocking Asus has set a high bar for all Intel-platform offerings to strive for. Some of the unique features like the optional watercooled north bridge heatpipe, Crosslinx multi-GPU improvements and the included copy of STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl really add to the overall package of this most recent Republic of Gamers motherboard. Add in little extras like the power/reset/CMOS buttons, LEDs to visually indicate over-volting and an external LCD POST indicator and you have an even more impressive package.”


If you have the money, and want the best, this motherboard is definitely worth a look. It’s a particularly interesting purchase if you already have a watercooling setup, since you can cool the northbridge, and squeeze out every last megahertz.
