Asus ROG Maximums XI Formula décrit la conception du processeur et des composants de ce modèle.
The Formula mobo series includes water cooling options on their motherboards. I reached out to Asus via Facebook and Twitter, but the information remains unclear. They mentioned that while some models come with built-in water cooling, others may require additional components. It seems the VRM needs proper cooling regardless, though the exact setup varies by model. The recent system offered by Asus had water cooling but no visible connections for it.
Includes a VRM water block just for the VRMs. No other components.
The board includes an integrated waterblock for the VRM; adding more would cost about $10 extra. It seems they chose not to use it, opting instead for an AIO for the CPU. They also thought spending around $10 on a controller and power stages felt too expensive for a board over $300, possibly because a custom loop would be too effortful for PCs—so they offered it away for marketing purposes.
It clearly features the Crosschill EK III hybrid VRM waterblock.
You're welcome! It's understandable to be confused about how the water block affects airflow to the VRM.
The water block functions as a heat sink whether it contains water or not. It's important to maintain airflow around the block and heatsink for optimal performance.
Until I get the funds for water cooling, I can still operate the board without concern.
