Testing the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula
The ASUS Crosshair IV Formula was test using a six core Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition with a stock speed of 3.2GHz. Using a black edition processor is always the best because it has capacity to unlock the CPU multiplier thus giving you more freedom in doing such overclocking. If you're a novice user you can simply do an instant overclock by pressing the OC switch on the board and presto you got a stable 3.7GHz speed.
But it didn't stop with that because we're still looking forward to push even further more speed and this board can do more than that. The overclock was done using the BIOS settings and reached 4.1GHz speed limits that certainly boost its performance with an additional of 22%. Other reviewers are claiming that they did more than that speed but it's up to you how far you can go with your own records.
Conclusion
The ASUS Crosshair IV Formula is equipped with the state of the art technology to meet the needs of a computer enthusiast and hard core gamers out there.
