The Asus Crosshair V Formula motherboard is based on the 990FX chipset. It supports all Athlon, Phenom and FX (Bulldozer) AM3/AM3+ CPUs. The Asus Crosshair V Formula motherboard is equipped with a total of four full-length PCI-E slots, with variable lanes going to them depending on installation. Only the top slot gets 16 lanes at all times; if using dual graphics cards, both cards will get 16 lanes each (both AMD Crossfire X and Nvidia SLI are supported). If three graphics cards are installed, the board switches to a 16/8/8 configuration. The AMD 990FX/SB950 chipset supports six SATA ports, all running at full SATA III 6 Gbps speed.
On the rear panel, you will find four USB 3.0 ports, seven USB 2.0 ports (there are two internal headers making for eleven total), six analog audio ports for 7.1 surround, an optical audio out, ethernet, external SATA, and a CMOS reset switch. That white USB port you see is the “iROG” connector, which allows you to control the overclocking settings on this board remotely via a USB cable. This can be disabled manually, which turns it into a normal USB 2.0 port.
As for overclocking, I tred to push the HTT bus as far as it could go. After CPU multiplier changing (if you have an unlocked CPU), this is the next way to overclock a CPU, and will also run several other component beyond their specifications. What we ended up with was a max HTT of 345 MHz, stable for 24 hours.
Whether you are a newbie who will simply use the auto OC functions, or a hardcore user who cannot wait to strap a pot of LN2 on their Bulldozer CPU, the Crosshair V Formula will deliver the comfort level of efficient and guaranteed high performance. Source
