Gaming Performance
As usual, we tested gaming performance with a variety of current games. We ran our benchmarks at a 1280x1024 resolution with high quality settings.
Gaming Summary
The ASUS Maximus Extreme generated very good scores in our gaming tests with first place results in two of the tests. Our initial tests with the latest game releases (UT3, Crysis, Hellgate: London, Call of Duty 4) show the Maximus Extreme performing the same or slightly better than the DDR2 equipped boards.

Wireless works yes. They are linked up through the base and work in dos mode. Both RF, and bluetooth meese work.kilkennycat - Monday, December 10, 2007 - link
I notice from the board picture that the rear mounting holes are still in the corners of the board, so if the WIDTH is 4cm more than the standard ATX, does the board need special mounting ? I assume that WIDTH means the distance across the edge of the board in contact with the rear of the case. Please correct if my assumption is wrong.Rajinder Gill - Monday, December 10, 2007 - link
THe width is the length across the top edge of the board. Screw hole spacing is still standard ATX, just that this board over-hangs by a few cm (the Sata port end will protrude further into your case) ...regards

As yes, you actually mean DEPTH of course, if referencing tower case dimensions (Height x Width x Depth). So any case wishing to accommodate this board needs to have at least 4cm DEEPER front to rear clearance for the motherboard, nothing to do with it being a mid-tower or full-tower. Am I right?Might also preclude using this MB in those cases having the motherboard mounted on a slide-in ATX tray ( a great feature, btw ), as they may have a lip or other registration hardware on the leading-edge of the tray.

What size are they? I cant find it here, or on Asus's site. They look like 1/4 inch - which kind of sucks.Rajinder Gill - Monday, December 10, 2007 - link
The fittings are 1/4", but ASUS does provide adapetrs to use 1/2 tubing..Raja..
