ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula recenzija

· Krešimir Matanović · MBO i RAM · Stranica 1 od 5
Vrijeme je za test jedanaeste verzije Asusove Maximus Formula ploče koja je kao i obično namijenjena entuzijastima i graditeljima open loop sistema vodenih hlađenja. Ovogodišnji model, opremljen sa Z390 čipsetom, osim nativnih USB 3.1 utora, donosi i 5-gigabitnu mrežu, bolji WiFi adapter, novi dizajn pokrova s RGB LED osvjetljenjem, veći OLED ekran, šest USB 3.1 Gen 2 portova itd. Standardno, tu je i EKWB-ov vodeni blok na napojnoj jedinici koji možemo integrirati u open-loop sistem za bolje hlađenje.

Ploča je standardnih ATX dimenzija i izgledom je evoluirala u odnosu na desetku, tj. model sa Z370 čipsetom. Tu ploču nismo imali prilike testirati, a zadnja Formula koju jesmo je bila devetka. Nova je ploča “ušminkana” prozirnim plastičnim elementima ispod kojih je RGB LED rasvjeta, a nema više onih za ROG karakterističnih crvenih elemenata. Sada ju zacrveniti mogu samo LED-ice. Crno-srebrni tonovi ju čine vrlo elegantnom i lijepo će se uklopiti uz sav ostali moderan hardver u kućištu.

Layout je vrlo dobar, premda je jedan dobar dio ploče pokriven. No, svi bitni konektori su tamo gdje trebaju biti, uz rubove, SATA portovi su horizontalni, a i M.2 portovi su dobro smješteni. Hladnjak na čipsetu je vrlo masivan i dobro uklopljen u ostatak plastičnog pokrova. Svoj posao odrađuje vrlo dobro i pri najvećim opterećenjima ostaje samo blago topal. Hladnjak na napojnoj jedinici je vrlo masivan, riječ je jasno o EKWB CrossChill EK III vodenom bloku koji je spreman za integraciju u open loop sistem vodenog hlađenja sa 1/4″ spojevima. Na ovaj smo se dizajn već ranije navikli, a osim uz pomoć vode, ovaj bakreni hladnjak dobro hladi i ovakav kakav je, pasivan. Ploča inače ima i četiri senzora temperature, te 4-pinske konektore za ventilatore i vodene pumpe.

S donje strane je većim dijelom pokrivena metalnom pločom koja učvršćuje čitavu konstrukciju, tj. služi kao nosač za gornji dio pokrova. Uz to, dobar je i vodič topline.
