An overview of Maximus VII Gene


Unveiling Gene, we have an attractive looking motherboard which as traditional would have it, adopts the black and red theme that ROG fans adore. As with the other VII boards, Gene features a matt black PCB and is very appealing to the eye. For such a small motherboard it has a surprising number of features which we will explore on the subsequent pages.

Gene conforms to the M-ATX form factor and therefore has some features from the bigger sized ROG boards omitted.
