Kommen wir jetzt zur Endbewertung:Sehr gut haben uns an allen drei Boards Features wie HDMI, PS/2-Combo-Port, Display-Port (MSI) und der USB-BIOS-Flashback-button (ASUS) gefallen. Beim Onboard-Sound gab es bei allen drei nicht viel zu beanstanden, der von...
ASUS's ROG Maximus VIII Impact totally breaks the rules of mini-ITX motherboards. It not only carries a VRM that rivals full-sized Intel Z170/X99 motherboards, but it also offers top notch audio and more OC features than many full sized boards. All this...

When I went into this review, I was not really expecting the Maximus VIII Impact to deliver overclocking on par with the Maximus VIII Extreme in such a compact package. I was actually pretty blown away by the clock speeds it could deliver on demand when p...
It is said that history has a way of repeating itself, and that is certainly true when it comes to the ASUS Republic of Gamers series motherboards. Specifically, the Impact models have consistently been the best Mini-ITX motherboards on the market and tha...
Abstract: Meanwhile you can find benchmark values of 28 recent Z270 and Z170 motherboards in our comparison tables. We do not comment the benchmark values. The idea and also the goal is to present to you a market overview which helps you choose the right motherboar...
If you're a serious overclocker you really have only one choice in this test: only the ASUS Maximus VIII Impact has enough good-quality power phases to make overclocking, even with extreme cooling methods, possible. It's also very suitable for overclock...
Attractive to the eye, Great use of space, Strong featureset, Excellent performance, Overclocks very well, Includes U.2 support, Comes with 3years warranty
Lacks M.2 support, Pricey
Demand for Mini-ITX motherboards has increased significantly over the past few years as enthusiasts trade the larger ATX form factor in order to utilise a compact system configuration. Although there are Mini-ITX Intel Z170 motherboards out there, manufac...

SupremeFX Impact III is an excellent audio solution (provided you don't need 7.1 support), Intel DSL6540 10Gbps USB 3.1 TypeA and TypeC ports, Highperformance power delivery system thanks to the smart design of the Impact Power III board, 32Gbps PCIe 3.0
No M.2 connector (!), No USB 2.0 connectivity at all, More than 4 SATA 6Gbps connectors should be included, especially with the lack of M.2, PS/2 port may be missed by extreme overclockers and troubleshooting (or Windows 7) users, albeit a minor point.
The Asus Maximus VIII Impact is a high-performance mini-ITX motherboard that will grab the attention of SFF enthusiasts interested in crunching through pixels in the latest games.General performance from the motherboard is superb. The same can be said for...
The best Z170 ITX board on the market today (in our opinion), Improved onboard audio via integrated DAC, ASUS UEFI BIOS is great (goes without saying), Performance is fantastic and even beats out full sized ATX boards, It looks great and premium, Overcloc
Isn't exactly cheap, No M.2 port which still disappoints us
Small form factor and ITX are big business these days, especially with those wanting all the performance of a full sized setup in a smaller form. HTPC used to be the main reason as who has the space under their TV for a fully-fledged ATX sized mid-tower?...
Already at first glance the Maximus VIII Impact leaves an excellent impression The mix of overclocking features and a high quality audio hardware makes this a stateoftheart motherboard for miniITXgaming And next to a very nice looking design you find use...
