Well atm, I'm not worried about a keyboard. The mobo... with that sonic radar... yea, idk. I want more opinions on that.

I have the G710+ and I would have to say, I reaaally like it. My friend and I traded the Blackwidow Ultimate (MX Blue) and my G710+ (MX Browns) for a week. Honestly, MX Blues are way too loud. The G710+ is seems as if it should be quieter than most MX Brown equipped keyboards, since each key has an O-ring underneath it. Also, another keyboard I'd recommend is Corsair's K70 line of keyboards. They come in various colors and keyswitches, so find one you like.

 

Here's a video showing off ASUS' Sonic Radar. The video kind of does a questionable job at showing it off since most of the sound was coming from in front of him, but it's a showcase nonetheless.

Other than that, looking good on the build!

Is the Sonic Radar a bad thing? I am starting to look for a different MOBO (same brand.. just different model).

Your making it way to big of a deal.

Buy a mobo for hardware qualities not the software.

I am looking at the hardware. I honestly don't give a shit about the software. It will only help you if you camp a map and I move around. I will get a different motherboard.

Its still a great board just uninstall the software XD

If you are looking at other boards that are in the same performance/quality of the maximus heres a few from gigabyte (my personal favorite company) http://www.overclockers.com/gigabyte-z87x-oc-review http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128594&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3754110&SID=skim1132X509988X1fd9ebe06ef347d101e88ae10bee2b25

^^^ that would be the board I would get if I wanted a haswell (which I don't). Has the least ammount of bullshit and all the things you want/need. Also the guy who did the review (very good overclocker) managed to get his haswell i7 to 5.1 ghz without to much work which is incredible for the chip and the UEFI bios are the best looking. Be aware mobo has no wireless internet capability, but no board really has good native wireless.

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128650 also a decent board. Has wifi and all that. Way to much bs on it (like the maximus), but if you want to spend a lot this is a good option

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128593

Same board, but yellow and no wifi.

Also the msi power is still a very good option.

This thread is heping me kill time at work.

The software doesn't come preloaded. (How can it? There is no memory or ic chip that can hold it... I think).

 

The Wi-Fi is Just an add-on board right? I can pick that up anywhere and might have one that will work already.

They basically force you to install them with mobo drivers, but from there you can remove them.

Some have them integrated into the mobo like a laptop and some (i believe the gigabytes) have a wifi card with antenna for improved signal.\

 

EDIT-nvm only have antenna.

Oh ok, When I was watching some reviews for the Sonic Radar the guy was saying you had to go to the website to get the download and to install the software. Soon enough they were going to incorporate it into the driver CD. I will take a look at those suggestions soon enough, not really enough time right now, need to focus on stuff going on in school and with my "job".

 

The only wifi things i have seen were add-on cards. I guess i haven't looked at gigabyte at all for mobo. I like the look of ASUS along with the specs they boast, but like i said, ill check it out and get a newer, upgraded build out either this weekend, or over thanksgiving.

I hope this isn't necro posting. I would like to do an update to this thread in about a week (or so). So i am just going to bump it for the time being. Hope it doesn't give me any warnings.
