Asus Maximus VI Formula and Maximus VI Impact
motherboards, Poseidon water-cooed graphics card, G750 notebook and
Tytan G30 desktop all showcased at Computex, along with
the Sonic Radar audio visualization utility for
enhanced gaming.
Maximus VI Formula with CrossChill cooling
ROG Maximus VI Formula is a gaming motherboard, with a
ROG Armor cover and a SECC (Steel, Electro-galvanized,
Cold-rolled, Coil) backplate with thermal pads for added
strength and cooling. Maximus VI Formula features the
CrossChill hybrid thermal design, which offers the
option of both air and liquid cooling. Integrated
'Pin-finned' heatsinks improve heat dissipation with an
increased surface area, while twin G1/4-inch threaded
sockets support any standard liquid cooling loop. ROG
testing has shown that a liquid-cooled Maximus VI
Formula motherboard with CrossChill operates at
temperatures up to 23 degrees Celsius lower than
air-only cooling.
Overclocking performance is also enhanced by Extreme
Engine Digi+ III power delivery, featuring 60A BlackWing
chokes, 90% efficiency NexFET MOSFETs and 10K Black
Metallic capacitors. A bundled mPCIe Combo II card also
provides 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless, plus
an M.2 interface for ultra-compact NGFF (Next Generation
Form-Factor) SSDs.
Maximus VI Formula also supports the SupremeFX onboard
audio. This features 120dB SNR headphone output with a
600ohm headphone amplifier, and WIMA and ELNA audio
capacitors. Differential signal processing with OpAMP
and EMI shielding reduce electromagnetic interference,
too.
Mini-ITX Maximus VI
Maximus VI Impact is the first ROG mini-ITX motherboard.
Suitable for small form factor enthusiasts, it includes
the Impact Power add-on card with 8+2 phase digital
power for the CPU and memory, along with the SupremeFX
Impact sound card, which features ELNA audio capacitors
and 115dB SNR, plus a headphone amplifier. An mPCIe
Combo II card with 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 is
also included.
ROG Poseidon graphics card with hybrid DirectCU H2O
cooling
The new ROG Poseidon graphics card features an NVIDIA
GeForce GTX 700 Series GPU and a hybrid DirectCU H2O
thermal design that supports both air and liquid
cooling. Developed by ASUS, its CoolTech fan combines
blower and axial fans in one design, forcing air in
multiple directions over the heatsink. Liquid cooling
reduces operating temperatures by up to 31 degrees
Celsius for cooler running with even greater
overclocking potential. ROG Poseidon also features a red
pulsing ROG logo.
Sonic Radar audio visualization
The Sonic Radar audio positioning engine was developed
by ASUS audio teams as a way to visualize in-game sound.
Sonic Radar helps players detect opponents even without
direct line of sight, by displaying an on-screen overlay
that shows the relative position of gunshots, footsteps
and other sound effects. Sonic Radar will be offered
with all ROG gaming sound cards (including Xonar Phoebus
and Xonar Phoebus Solo) and Maximus VI Series
motherboards with SupremeFX from summer 2013.
Tytan G30 desktop and G750 notebook
The ROG Tytan G30 gaming desktop uses automatic case
ventilation control and liquid CPU cooling. The
performance of its 4th generation Intel Core i7-4770K
processor can be fully exploited with one-click
overclocking of all four cores on the fly, while NVIDIA
GeForce GTX 780 graphics ensure smooth gameplay.
The 17-inch G750 is the latest in the ROG G Series of
gaming notebooks. Powered by a 4th generation Intel Core
processor and NVIDIA GeForce? GTX 700M Series graphics,
the G750 has a gamer-focused design with a backlit
keyboard, isolated directional key cluster and large
multi-point touchpad. It als ocomes equipped with a
dedicated headphone amplifier.
Tytan G30 and G750 both feature exclusive ASUS
SonicMaster audio technology. SonicMaster and the ROG
AudioWizard sound tuning utility offer five modes to
match different gaming genres, all controlled through a
user-friendly interface.
Orion for Consoles headset
For universally accessible gaming sound, ROG presented
the Orion for Consoles headset. Compatible with PC,
Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3, Orion for
Consoles has large padded ear cushions and 50mm
neodymium magnet drivers for deep bass and detailed
audio reproduction. The headset offers passive noise
cancellation that blocks up to 30dB of ambient noise.
ROG Armor keyboard & Nomad backpack
Designed specifically for gamers, the ROG Armor keyboard
features mechanical key switches for continued
performance and backlit keys for use in low-light
environments.
The ROG Nomad backpack caters for larger gaming
notebooks like the ROG G750 with an internal suspension
system and padded pockets that ensure everything is well
protected when on the move. Ventilated padding keeps the
wearer cool and comfortable, while the water-resistant
ballistic nylon design keeps the cargo dry.
OC Panel demo with legendary overclockers
ROG team members and overclockers Andre Yang and Shamino
demonstrated the overclocking prowess of the Maximus VI
Extreme motherboard with a 4th generation Intel Core i7
processor and a 32GB four-DIMM RAM configuration. Using
the Asus OC Panel utility and extreme liquid nitrogen
cooling, they achieved upwards of 7GHz processor and
4200MHz memory speeds. |
