Retired
Not applicable
Many of you have spoken on wanting to review ASUS hardware. Working together as a community, we have decided to allow the ROG community members a chance to review some of our premium products.

The Goal:


  • The goal is to give other users multiple perspectives, additional support, and more credibility to the product.
  • This is a community activity to have fun.
  • You can potentially test the product before buying it.


Here are some of the rules you need to be aware of before applying:


  • Must have a minimum of 100 posts.
  • Reviewers will be listed by seniority.
  • The more posts you have and the more we know about your contribution to the ROG community, the higher up on the list you will be.
  • The product we are allowing users to review will be cycled from member to member. This is a community board.
  • You will not be able to keep the product.
  • A schedule/list will be shown to the public
  • Can not run motherboard in sub zero temperatures.
  • Reviewers will get a 2 week time frame up arrival.
  • ASUS will not provide additional hardware such as CPU or GPU. Reviewer must list their test specs and must have the specs in hand when applying.
  • This is open to USA and Canada only at the moment.

What you get in return:


  • ASUS will include an ROG T-Shirt
  • ROG Dog Tag
  • At the end of the review cycle, the board will be raffled off within the reviewers pool.

What we are looking for:


  • We are looking for individuals that are looking to give honest feedback. We are not expecting anything professional but more of your thoughts and experience with the product. What you liked, didn't like, any personal feedback, advice for anyone planning to purchase the board, etc.
  • We are also looking for people to do real world application tests. It doesn't have to be all about benchmarks. You can talk about your experience with your specs on various games, movies, audio quality, music, general performance, adobe apps, etc.
  • We also want to see feedback on what features of the product helped you in your experience with the product.
  • We are looking for creativity. You can do unboxing videos, photo shoots, or whatever creative comes to mind.
  • Have a question about product? Don't hesitate to ask on the forums, we are here to help.

How to apply:


  • We want to know why you feel you are qualified, what/how you plan to test it, and your specs.
  • State which product you want to review
  • Once picked, I will PM you for additional information.

I know that I can't do it because I don't even have a CPU that will work. I hope that my support for the program in general was not interpreted as an indication that I could test on this specific platform.
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

I don't think anyone can properly review the Crosshair V Formula without a FX (Bulldozer) Processor. We can't see the hardware perform its best.

Yes and no. I have looked around at some of the reviews out there already and a lot of reviewers are claiming that the CHV is a great upgrade from the CHIV even without BD. There is something to be said for how HW performs with what equipment is available at release. The X6 processors came out a long time after AM3 was released. You could say that you cannot "properly" review the CHV until the penultimate AM3+ chip is released, but no one wants to wait that long before considering whether or not to buy. That said I know where you are coming from, but when BD does release, it would be more about the chip's performance rather than that of the board.

Great idea Brian looking forward to some good community reviews.

I'd like to review the crosshair V as i have never used an ASUS AMD board, looks like I'd need to up my post count first.

We want to know why you feel you are qualified, what/how you plan to test it, and your specs.

I am not sure that I am, I have been building computer systems for as long as I can recall. I am often called by family and friends to fix what the Geek Squad cant, or repair what they did in the first place. I don't have a degree in computers, rather in criminal justice, so I am a skilled investigator. I have a newbies perspective to these sorta things.. might be a change to get an impression from someone new.

I guess I would need to build a testing station, one where I could hook up the Mother Board and give it a run for its money.

State which product you want to review

Either one will be fine. I just thank you for any opportunity to help. I would prefer the Crosshair V Formula as I have always been a fan of AMD over intel.. but either will do.

I would apply as well, just to many other projects already going. I will try and get on the next round of testing.

Six, they will may be no next round if this one don't start, it's now or never.

I am applying for the Crosshair V. I would love to have a go on the new chipset, as well as compare the board to my current MSI 890FXA-GD70. I will test in gaming, video editing, and folding environments. I will also test sli, because having this technology on an AMD board is something I have been looking forward to.


Test system:
AMD Phenom II 1090T
8 Gb Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz DDR3
Corsair H50
Corsair HX1050
HD5850(cf), GTX 570(sli)
acer 1920*1080 120hz monitor(*3)

Thanks Brian for setting this up, great idea

I hope to get involved with this pretty soon, but as I stated previously I don't have 100 posts yet. Besides, I need some time to put together a selection of components so I can test properly without gutting my own rig to pull it off heh. I did however get myself that test bench I mentioned a while ago... Yay me! 😄
