Abstract: Competition between gaming mATX boards doesn't get any tougher than this. In the red corner, weighing in at $200 and from the Republic of Gamers' range, we have the ASUS Maximus V Gene. In the green corner, weighing in at $170 and providing the competitio...

None that I found
You know in many people’s minds micro ATX motherboard are cheap, boy are they wrong! The Maximus V Gene is probably the most feature-packed Z77 mATX motherboard and it has more features than many full-sized Z77 motherboards! ASUS knows gamers attend ...
What attributes make a motherboard an ROG? If it’s the higher quality components, proven digital power management, efficiency, stability, high performance, expansion needed to last, and overclocking, then the ASUS Maximus V GENE is worthy of wearing th...

While the Maximus V Gene is not uber-cheap, it is far from expensive. You can purchase the motherboard from either Newegg or Amazon for $189.99 with free shipping from both (Prime for Amazon).Even though the Micro-ATX form factor pushes ASUS to limit expa...

Low SATA performance numbers, Add-on mPCIE card retention mechanism questionable, Relatively high price, Limited temperature monitoring, Software installation immediately offers install of Google Chrome, and nothing else without a few clicks, and no easy
There's not much left for me to say about the ASUS Maximus V Gene. Its overclock performance is second to none, has one of the best software packages, it is ready for gamers and extreme clockers alike, uses relatively tight voltage regulation, allowing...

Another Z77 Board on the books, and this one thoroughly impressed. Honestly we really wish there was a full ATX variant like the Formula that we saw recently, or hopefully an Extreme to come soon. We also wish that ASUS had gone the standard route wit...
Abstract: When doing all of our Ivy Bridge launch prep we spent a LOT of time benchmarking and testing a whole collection of boards. You guys have seen our reviews of the Intel and Gigabyte boards. When it came time to write about the four different Asus Z77 boa...
Look up at the rest of this review. Does that sound like a mATX motherboard to you? No. In fact, I'd say it is just as capable as any motherboard on the market. Which brings us to the only drawback really – it's mATX. You know that when you're looking ...
If we’re honest here, we’re a little disappointed - the Maximus V Gene doesn’t distinguish itself from the competition in terms of raw performance in the way its predecessors have. This is a shame, but it’s indicative of a mature market - Ivy Bridge an...
