A Peak on ASUS at CES 2016

10:29 , 0 Comments


So CES 2016 has begun, which means amazing tech has come out. Most gamers can't tell me they don't have brand loyalties. With consoles, its Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo, and with PC gamers there are pre built system companies like Cyberpower PC, or Ibuypower, but also hardware manufacturers such as AMD, Nvidia, Intel, Cooler master, Thermaltake, EVGA, ASUS, and more. Personally I am a huge fan of Razer and the ASUS ROG lines of products, using a Matrix 980ti in my desktop, and a rog gl551jw for my laptop. So here is a recap of what the ASUS ROG booth has shown off at CES 2016.


First of all there were motherboards. ASUS showed off the long anticipated ROG maximus VIII formula, and the surprise of a new AMD 970 gaming board, the 970 Pro gaming aura, as well as the mini itx B150I pro gaming WI-FI/Aura.
The 970 Gaming Pro (featured above) is the newest AMD gaming motherboard to come out in a few years. I for one, am particularly happy about this, as I think I'm one of the few people who still use an AMD FX 8320.
                                                                                                                                                             
ROG Maximus VIII formula
Next we have the ROG Maximus VIII formula, which like the past formula motherboards is an absolute beast. It features waterblock built in due to a partnership with EKWB. Like the rest of these boards it has RGB lighting, something I enjoy to see on motherboards. And features some of ASUS premium thermal armor.



Now onto the new peripherals. ASUS has jumped onto the bandwagon of having branded gaming keyboards, mice and headsets, all of which feature, yet again, RGB lighting.




Next we have their new prebuilt tower, the ROG GT51. Not much has been said in terms of specs, but this thing looks amazing. The only revealed specs are an i7 6700k and up to 2 Titan X cards, and a release date has not been mentioned.The front intake looks like that thing guarding Jabba's palace in return of the Jedi!


Lastly, we have the ROG XG station. an external GPU dock that charges the laptop while you use it. It looks similar to the g20, and can fit any graphics card, giving the laptop extra performance similar to the alienware graphics amplifier.

And that covers all the products unveiled by ASUS at CES 2016.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
