Asus Maximus VII Ranger & Hero Motherboard Review

We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the Maximus VII motherboards to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.7GHz and memory speed was 2400MHz.

As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from other Z97 motherboards. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with each board was a 4700MHz (47 x 100MHz) processor frequency and 2400MHz CL10 memory speed.

Both Asus boards show strong gains from a CPU frequency boost. While each shows solid Cinebench scores, 3DMark performance isn't as strong as the ASRock and Gigabyte competitors.
