Usually when we are talking Republic of Gamers motherboards, we are generally thinking about boards that cost a lot. This ASUS Maximus VIII Gene comes in at $210. While that is not "cheap" in the motherboard spectrum, that is far from expensive for a motherboard with such a list of features. You get an excellent audio solution, you get great cooling, you get FanXpert 3 technology, Intel Gigabit Ethernet, and all on a motherboard that will run Prime95 for three weeks at 4.5GHz.
