Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z Motherboard review (mATX)

CINEBENCH R11.5 64 Bit is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.

CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

A score of almost 9 points is an incredible result and is only slightly less than the reference clocked Intel 990x (around 9.21 points). Remember the Intel i7 2600k costs a third of the price of the 990x.

  1. awesome, makes the sapphire Mini ITX H67 look rather feeble IMO.

  2. Price is very impressive for the spec. quite surprised a ROG product isnt £200+

  3. Very nice board, as always from the ROG team……. cheaper than the last one which is always a bonus.

  4. @ francis. they arent the same style of board, one is mini and one is micro. big difference for chassis

  5. gene series has been class leading for a long time now, glad to see it continuing

  6. Llano in the wings

    Can you tell me if this board works well with patriot memory? I had a terrible time with the last model and my memory not working right. took me ages to find out what the problem was as a second board was not posting also…..

  7. How carefully have you actually checked that “onboard” supreme X-Fi audio chip?
    Can you point out the chip on the board, and that its from Creative Laps?

    Cause the Wiki says “Supreme X-Fi” on mainboards is just software, paired with a generic audio chip from outfits like Realtec and others. If this really was just software, it would be kind of lame and obviously have no influence on signal to noise ratio or THD, since that depends on the chip used, not some sound beautifier software that eats your CPU cycles for mostly questionable improvements…

    I have no found a single review on this board that checks on this, they all just seem to copy the menu point from the box into their review.
