So moving along, let’s check out the detailed specifications of the Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z and take a closer look on the motherboard below. We won’t be focusing on the difference between the old and newer Crosshair V Formula-Z in this review, since obviously the newer Formula-Z is the better option. Below is a side by side image of the Crosshair V Formula-Z and Crosshair V Formula. It now features Extreme Engine DiGi+ II with 8+2+2 DiGi Phase, and maximum memory OC can reach up to 2400MHz and several other improvements. There are now 8 SATA 6Gbps ports (instead of 7), and the new version uses SupremeFX III instead of SupremeFX X-Fi 2 with Red LED path and EMI shielding. First of all, the logo in the southbridge heatsink looks different, and the Start, Reset and Go Button are now located near the DIMM slots. If you have seen the previous Crosshair V Formula, you will notice some difference based on the physical appearance of the two motherboards alone. It features AMD 990FX chipset and AMD SB950 southbridge.

But until today, it is still the popular choice for AMD FX Series processors. The Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z is not a new motherboard, in fact it has been in the market since Q3-Q4 of 2012.
