ASUS has officially launched ROG Crosshair III Formula, a socket AM3 motherboard based on AMD 790FX chipset. This board supports AMD Phenom II, Athlon X4, Athlon X3 e Athlon X2 processors, has four DDR3-1600/1333/1066 MHz (16 GB max.) sockets, two PCI Express x16, one PCI Express x1 slot, one PCI slot, five SATA-300 ports, one eSATA port, one ATA-133 port, Gigabit Ethernet, 8-channel audio (SupremeFX X-Fi PCI Express x1 sound card) and a 10-phase voltage regulator circuit. ROG Crosshair III Formula comes with several overclocking options that can be adjusted on-the-fly through a joystick-like control without entering the BIOS Setup. This board also has a neat feature called MemOK! that works as following: in the event of a boot failure after installing new RAM, the user can press an easily accessible button on the motherboard and MemOK! will automatically load the failsafe settings needed to ensure a successful system boot. ASUS didn’t disclose the price of this motherboard.
