Enthusiasts Hunt. ASUS Gives.

In late July 2012, Asus Malaysia introduced a seeding programme for United Rig Hunter’s members. The main objective of the seeding programme is to bringing out any potential talent among the URH’s members in doing review on computer hardware. For a starter there will be 5 motherboards and 5 graphic cards for the giveaway. It is open to all the members but to become among the lucky participants the members will have to state what will they do if Asus gives them the items.

       

    As one of the lucky participant, i was selected and given a LGA1556 socket motherboard, which is Asus Maximus III Extreme.  In my case I will do a short and simple review on the motherboard. The reason is I was not only selected for the seeding program but also for a modding project using Asus products. I will be focusing more on the modding project rather than reviewing the product this time. 

 

        
   This project is A tribute to my best friend, a mentor and a fellow modder, Mr Najib Faisol or known as Topazzatale in computer modding world. He passed away on Thursday, 30^th August 2012 due to blood clot inside his brain. It is a big loss to Malaysia PC enthusiast community.

     The build will be based on R.O.G theme. Red, black and white colors will be used as the color theme. It is still not decided whether an aftermarket tower chassis or a fully custom made open bench is the right choice for the project. The motherboard’s original heatsink cooler will be preserved in this mod since the project focusing more on air cooling solution, for now. In addition, the mod may become one of the ‘participant’ in Cooler Master Case Mod Contest 2012, if everything go smooth.
