Enthusiast system builds are not always about having the best of everything but sometimes more about picking the right equipment to make everything work. For instance, if you wanted to run NVidia video cards in SLI you would be limited to only Intel systems that supported the technology. AMD Crossfire on the other hand was supported on both Intel and AMD platforms making it a logical choice for enthusiast builders on a budget. Of course enthusiasts are not all about gaming performance or proper video card support but sometimes just need a system that can overclock with some solid community backing.
In this review we will be looking at the Asus Crosshair V Formula. This is a top of the line Republic of Gamers motherboard based on the AMD 990FX chipset supporting the latest AM3+ processors including the new AMD FX "bulldozer" line.
