Intel P45 Motherboard Reviews - ASUS & Foxconn
bit-tech and Legit Reviews have reviewed Intel P45-based motherboards from ASUS and Foxconn.
Let’s see what they had to say:
- bit-tech: Asus Maximus II Formula Motherboard:
“The short answer is that this is one of the best boards you can buy in terms of style and features for real enthusiasts (opposed to fake ones). There are other companies who try to come close but the complete package from Asus makes it all worthwhile. It might even sway some DFI people, but for the lack of community I doubt that. On the simple P45 expense scale, the technology included makes it a solid purchase. If you want a board with great gaming performance, a fun, intuitive and very full BIOS with fantastic overclocking and a design made for exactly its application - you'll be very hard pushed to find something better.”

- Legit Reviews: Foxconn Digital Life ELA P45 Motherboard:
“When you look at everything that the ELA brings to the table, its major faults were the goofy BIOS and the price. If Foxconn spent just a little time giving the ELA a more traditional BIOS with more clear information then it would help with overclocking the board and help warrant its price. The lack of multiplier adjustment, underclocking/undervolting support (huge for HTPCs), and clear voltage adjustments just kill any recommendation I can make for the prospective HTPC consumer.”

The Maximus II Formula is a very well designed P45 motherboard, and it is also one of the best looking motherboards ever. However, and this may only matter to me, I have yet to see a truly impressive overclock or 3DMark result achieved with it and I find that quite curious…
