It has been a little over two weeks since Kaby Lake hit the scene. As seen in our i7 7700K review, Instructions Per Clock (IPC)-wise, there are not many tangible changes from the 6700K for the common folk. However, for the enthusiast overclocker, that higher base clock and higher top end are really enticing. Now that the CPU is out, we are starting to see Intel's board partners, like ASUS, coming out with their Z270 motherboard lineup. In our hands right now we have the ROG Maximus IX Formula (MIXF moving forward). This board promises to be solid offering, specializing in (no particular order) overclocking, gaming, and in the aesthetics/looks area with its liberal use of shrouds and RGB LED's that many enthusiasts love these days. Take a look below at the specifications, features, and see how the MIXF fared in our testing!
