Case and CPU-cooler compatibility is extremely important for mini-ITX gamers and enthusiasts. That's why ROG has performed hundreds of tests and modifications to perfect Maximus VII Impact's layout to ensure maximum compatibility with both mini-ITX chassis designs and CPU coolers.
Maximus VII Impact's completely-digital power architecture is engineered with premium components to provide total control over the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulators (FIVR) found in the latest Intel® processors. Dynamic speed adjustments and intricate manual controls let you the push the processor and memory further than ever - and that means the highest stability and precision!
Maximus VII Impact features the very latest Intel Ethernet for faster, smoother gaming - always. Intel's LAN has the serious double advantage of reducing CPU overhead and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput. This significantly reduces the processor's workload, so there's more power for your game and your gameplay!
ROG has reinvented the LAN port. Advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors improve throughput, while surge-protected and electrostatically-guarded components (ESD Guards) protect your motherboard from lightning strikes and static electricity!
