Description

Maximus VIII Formula has been pumped up and packed to the brim with enhancements, so competitors are warned, gamers get set and enthusiasts prepare to push your limits - ROG is ready to accept all challenges! ROG teamed up with the cooling masters at EK Water Blocks to create CrossChill EK, an extreme-performance cooling block with a copper channel that's hungry for either air or liquid. It is used high-precision laser-engraving technology to carve beautifully intricate patterns across the ROG Armor that enrobes Maximus VIII Formula, allowing the radiant RGB light of 28 integrated LEDs to shine through and illuminate key parts of the board - including the MOSFET heatsink cover, PCIe area and the striking ROG logo on the PCH cover!

  • Totally cooled - CrossChill EK

    ROG teamed up with the cooling masters at EK Water Blocks to create CrossChill EK, an extreme-performance cooling block with a copper channel that's hungry for either air or liquid. CrossChill EK is the cool choice for custom-chilled builds enabling quieter rigs that run great on air - and even better with water. CrossChill EK is a quick fit for your existing setup and, when you chill with liquid, you'll shrink MOSFET temperatures by up to 23°C!

  • Amazing gaming lighting

    Build with Maximus VIII Formula and you'll build... bright! With a built-in Aura RGB-strip header and easy lighting controls, it's never been easier to light up your rig - and your LAN parties!

  • RGB-strip header & lighting control

    It is used high-precision laser-engraving technology to carve beautifully intricate patterns across the ROG Armor that enrobes Maximus VIII Formula, allowing the radiant RGB light of 28 integrated LEDs to shine through and illuminate key parts of the board - including the MOSFET heatsink cover, PCIe area and the striking ROG logo on the PCH cover! Forget the faff of external RGB controllers! With ROG's Aura RGB-strip header, it's quick and easy to cast brilliant colors across your rig and room. Customize static, strobing and pulsating effects, or have the colors change in time with music or indicate CPU temperature.
