Here are some of the first proper pictures of ASUS ROG Crosshair V
Formula motherboard, a set of press-shots leaked to the Czech press,
which has since been retracted. The ROG Crosshair V Formula comes in two
packages, with and without ASUS Thunderbolt card (an addon card by ASUS
that provides Bigfoot Killer NIC and Sound Blaster X-Fi
hardware-accelerated audio). The Crosshair V made its first appearance
with a box-shot disclosure
by NVIDIA announcing SLI on AMD chipset motherboards; later a table
listing out specifications of some of ASUS' fist socket AM3+ motherboard
was published.
The Crosshair V Formula is a socket AM3+ motherboard based on AMD 990FX + SB950 chipset, supporting AMD's upcoming FX-series processors based on the Bulldozer architecture. It combines the best features ASUS has to offer, targeting both gamers and overclockers. The AM3+ socket is powered by a strong 10-phase Digi+ Extreme Engine VRM, it supports dual-channel DDR3 memory with speeds of over DDR3-2133 MHz. Expansion slots include four PCI-Express 2.0 x16, which configure as x16/x16/NC or x16/x8/x8, with the fourth slot being electrical x4, wired to the southbridge. NVIDIA 3-way SLI and AMD CrossFireX are supported.

Storage connectivity includes 7 internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports, and 1
power-eSATA. In case you opted for the non-Thunderbolt card variant or
don't have room left to install it, there's onboard 8-channel SupremeFX
X-Fi MB audio. There's one gigabit Ethernet port, controlled by
Intel-made GbE controller. There are six USB 3.0 ports in all, of which
two are by header. A plethora of ASUS ROG-exclusive features like ROG
UEFI, ROG Connect with GPU Tweakit, CPU ExtremeTweaker, CPU LevelUp,
MemOK, GameFirst, TurboV EVO, and component overheat protection can be
found.
