Review: Asus Blitz Extreme motherboard

One for the power users

Based around Intel's P35/ICH9 chipset combination, the Blitz Extreme motherboard supports Intel's latest 1,333MHz processors and DDR3 memory (up to 8GB).

Unlike some of the huge passive cooling solutions seen on a few motherboards lately, the Blitz Extreme gets by with minimal amounts of copper, which makes fitting a third-party cooler much easier than on some of its competitors.

The Blitz Extreme also features Asus' Crosslinx technology, which allows it to bypass the southbridge.

This enables both x16 PCI Express slots to run as x8 lanes simultaneously, unlike the standard Asus P35, which would only allow the second slot to run at 4x.
