Introduction

ASUS introduces another new member to its Republic of Gamers boards. This time, it is the Blitz Extreme. Blitz Extreme is based on the Intel P35 chipset. This board supports all series of Intel LGA775 processors including the FSB1333 processors.

The Blitz Extreme challenges the chipset limitation of P35 by introducing CrossLinx, making CrossFire performs at Dual 8x instead of 4x+16x. Not only that, it comes with the Fusion Block System - an effective 0dB fanless design cooling system with a chipset waterblock that adds onto a power user´s existing watercooling circuit to help keep operations cool. Additionally, SupremeFX II not only increases the sound quality, it also enhances aesthetic value. The Blitz Extreme also adopts the Intel P35/ICH9R chipset and supports cutting-edge DDR3 dual channel memory and CrossFire Technology - making it the Overclocker and Gamer´s first and best choice.

The Blitz Extreme uses the Intel® P35 Express Chipset is the latest chipset designed to support 8GB of dual-channel DDR3 1066/800 MHz and DDR2 800/667 MHz memory architecture. It also supports 1333/1066/800 FSB (Front Side Bus), PCI Express x16 graphics and multi-core CPUs.

The BIOS has lots of options for you tweaking the system to extreme performance. The led lights on different parts of the board (red, yellow, green) shows you the voltage range applied. The board also comes with a Clear CMOS button at the back panel, this allows overclocking tests to be done with ease without having to opening up the case to clear cmos. In addition, the LED poster comes with the package. The package also comes with a FREE game STALKER. It also bundles in 3Dmark06.

So with such a good feature set and the CrossLinx, will it be able to boost the CrossFire performance against conventional P35 chipsets? Let's read on.
