Introduction
For every platform, a premiere board appears for every vendor. Asus is known for making the end-all and be-all of premier boards. The Asus Maximus 3 Extreme just about goes beyond that stage. When we first received the board, the sheer number of features was overwhelming. What amazed us most was that almost all of the features were practical and useful. Often, the features on a board are more fluff than substance. That's hardly the case with the Maximus 3 Extreme, these features are practical, easy to use and make it an epic board destined for the motherboard hall of fame.

Based on Asus's legendary black and red color scheme, the Asus Maximus 3 Extreme promises to be a legendary overclocker; but if that's all you see in the board, you are overlooking some of the best features.
