ASUS Maximus VIII Impact
LGA 1151, Intel Z170, Mini-ITXProduct details
The compatibility of the case and CPU cooler is essential for Mini-ITX gamers and enthusiasts. For this reason, ROG engineers have performed hundreds of tests and modifications to optimize the layout of the ASUS Maximus VIII Impact and achieve the highest possible compatibility with Mini-ITX enclosures and processor coolers. Thus, the construction of small but powerful systems is possible without problems. The Maximus VIII Impact's onboard sound solution is not only good - it's the best for Mini-ITX systems. You'll benefit from the best gaming audio inputs and outputs, with color-coded LEDs to indicate the correct audio connections, and a selection of carefully selected professional audio components. These include an ESS ES9023P digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with hyperstream technology and extremely low jitter, audio capacitors from Nichicon, a 2VRMS headphone amplifier, and Sonic SenseAmp, which automatically detects each headset (32-600 Ohm) and optimizes it for the purest sound quality. SupremeFX Impact III also features Sonic Studio II, which lets you adjust and enjoy different audio effects for optimal entertainment, as well as Perfect Voice Noise-Cancellation technology for clear and distinct voice chats.
