    MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z

    techREACTION Gold Silicon Award

    Overall the ASUS M4 Gene-Z performs so well it is not fair to compare it with uATX form factor boards. This board stands up to full size ATX boards, laughs at them while it kicks sand in their face and then goes and games some more. The GeneZ gets a solid gold award 99.09% positive. Nothing wrong with this board. Excellent features, priced well, solid clocker and reliable as all get out. (benched excessively at 5.5). No way could this setup get anything but a Techreaction Gold award. more

    HD7970-3GD5

    HardOCP Editor's Choice Gold Award

    ASUS has recently been towards the front of the pack with its GPU Tweak overclocking utility which gives you a lot of control over the frequencies and voltages you want to tweak. The out-of-box performance out of the ASUS Radeon HD 7970 was far above the previous generation's Radeon HD 6970 video card. …One of the more impressive features of this video card was the room we had to overclock, and the performance that we received from it.  ASUS impressed us with its reference version of the AMD Radeon HD 7970. more

    DRW-24B3LT

    Tweak News Top Rank Award

    Asus has shown us another solid product with the DRW-24B3LT. This well-rounded drive can write to a recordable DVD at up to 24x and testing showed that it's not only fast, it can also produce consistently reliable discs. Everything I tossed at it could be read and/or written to without issue. In terms of noise, it operates very quietly and I could not hear it while watching a DVD movie. …you really can't go wrong with this DVD-RW drive. It will provide everything you need to burn CD's and DVD's until you're ready to take the plunge on Blu-Ray. more

    Pure Overclock Great Hardware Award

    …ASUS has brought us three very nice motherboards …each of these three boards is well designed and offer feature rich cutting edge technology. Two things really blew us away about these motherboards…The first is the UEFI BIOS… … this BIOS is the best we've seen amongst various motherboard manufacturers. The other thing that is perhaps the most impressive feature of all is the TPU bundle…simple fact remains that this overclocking ability is outstanding. ASUS might just put a stranglehold on the X79 market; their features and performance are that impressive. The bar here set by ASUS is very, very high. more
