At a first glance the ASUS Maximus VI Impact looks very good with its harmonic design. Once again the ROG-colors - red, black and white - suite nicely and together with the black PCB it becomes a beautiful product. The layout itself is well thought and there is for example plenty of space around the CPU socket to install even todays largest CPU coolers. On a mini-ITX motherboard it is crucial that the CPU socket is in the center of the motherboard, otherwise installing big aircoolers becomes an issue. There are plenty of other mini-ITX motherboards out there, which have the CPU socket closer to the PCI-Express x16 slot. This bare the consequence, that the cooler is going to collide with the VGA. Looking for the SATA connectors shows, that ASUS placed them at the very only reasonable position. Furthermore there are straight connectors, since there just isn't enough space for angled ones.
The ASUS Maximus VI Impact comes with a digital 8+2 phase power design. The CPU gets eight phases and the memory gets a stable current supply from two individual phases. Furthermore ASUS equips this board with their so called "BlackWing Chokes". Furthermore those chokes can cope with up to 60A per phase. Furthermore there are 10K Black Metallic Capacitors, which have an average life expectancy of 10'000 hours. In other words, the Impact received the same power design, which can also be found on the bigger ASUS ROG Maximus VI motherboards. Since, this mini-ITX motherboard offers very limited space, ASUS has put the VRM on a daughter PCB, which has been soldered to the motherboard.
Totally you'll find two DIMM-slots on the Maximus VI Impact. Officially supported are DDR3 3000 / 2933 / 2800 / 2666 / 2600 / 2500 / 2400 / 2200 / 2133 / 2000 / 1866 / 1800 / 1600 / 1333 MHz. There is engough space between the DIMM-slots and the CPU socket which means that you wont encounter compatibility problems with big coolers even when you choose to install RAM with big heatspreaders. Also supported are Xtreme Memory Profiles (XMP) in version 1.3.
On the Maximus VI Impact the PCH is being cooled by a passive cooling block. A closer look at the area where the VRM is, shows that there are two additional heatsinks - one is on the front-side and the other is located on the back-side. The design as well as the build quality is on an excellent level, which is typical for ASUS' Maximus VI series motherobards.
Totally ASUS equipped the Maximus VI Impact with four straight SATA ports. All ports offer 6Gbps bandwidth and they are natively wired to the Z87 PCH. Additionally there is an eSATA connector on the I/O panel. You'll also find practical onboard power- and reset-buttons on this board and there is also a debug display, but this one has been moved to the I/O panel, since there just isn't enough space on the motherboard. ASUS equipped this board with their SupremeFX audio solution. In this case the manufacturer put all the sound related components on another daughter board, which is therefore electrically isolated from the rest of the board. In this case you get high-quality ELNA capacitors as well as a headphone amp, which is able to provide headphones with an impedance of up to 600 ohm with a well audible audio signal.
Totally you'll find four fan header on the Maximus VI Impact which is enough, to provide a well equipped mATX system with fresh air. The fan headers are located around the CPU socket and the fourth can be found right next to the onboard power button. ASUS decided to use 4-pin PWM headers in all five cases. Therefore it is possible to adjust rotation speed in the BIOS or in Windows.
Looking at the external connectors directly at the back-panel ASUS equipped the Maximus VI Impact with four USB 3.0/2.0 ports, four USB 2.0/1.1 ports, one gigabit ethernet port, an HDMI connector, a DisplayPort output as well as an optical out and an analogue audio panel. Furtheremore you'll find also a clear CMOS button, a debug LED, a DirectKey button and a MemOK button as well as an ROG Connect button.

At a first glance the Maximus VI Impact definitely leaves an excellent impression. The mix of overclocking features and a high quality audio hardware makes this a state-of-the-art motherboard for mini-ITX-gaming. And next to a very nice looking design you find useful features like for example GameFirst. This software allows you to configure your network device the way gaming traffic gets prioritized (keyword traffic shaping). Furthremore you get ASUS' RAM Disk Software and lots of other goodies, which make this board even more appealing. Aboslutely remarkable, that's what the ten phase power design is. ASUS really succeed in bringing even extrem overclocking to the mini-ITX form factor. | -

Layout | + | - | |
Basically the ASUS Maximus VI Impact's Layout has excellently thought. In order to make more space on this tiny PCB ASUS deployed to daughter PCB's, whereas one is for the power design and the other for the audio solution. Furhtermore the straight SATA 6Gbps ports have been place at the only location where it makes sense to have them, when you look at this point from the accessibility perspective. Also due to space contraints ASUS has put the debug LED, the MemOK as well as the DirectKey button to the I/O panel. Since the CPU socket is in the center of the PCB it is possible to install even todays largest CPU cooler. Another great addition is the mPCIe-Slot, which in this case is compatible with M.2 (NGFF) SSDs. Unfortunately this slot has only been wired to one PCI Express 2.0 x1 lane, which means, that maximum transfer speeds won't surpass 500 Megabyte per second. |

Performance | + | - | |
Let's first have closer look at overall 3D performance. Calcualting the average of all 3D benchmarks we ran, we see that this board ranks in the center of our comparison tables. Concerning the average of all 2D performance, this board scores an excellent 2nd place. Furthermore, when we dig deeper into the individual results, we see that this board offers consitent performance. On another note we had a look at power consumption and in this case we see that for a mini-ITX board it's quite high. Basically it needs as much power as an average ATX motherboard, but since there are as many features as you usually find on an ATX motherboard, these numbers are easy to understand. | -

Overclocking / BIOS | + | - | |
As you might have expected from ASUS you get an excellent BIOS which offers not only a boatload of tuning and tweaking options but is also very easy to use. The ROG themed BIOS always comes with a bit more of a technical touch but it is still very well structured and it won't take long until one understands what's where. | - Clear arrangement - Sheer amount of options | ||
Recommendation | + | - | |
If you're looking for a high-end mini-ITX motherboard, then there is no way around the ASUS Maximus VI Impact. This board features everything that makes the heart of an overclocker or a gamer beat faster and also enthusiasts will love this exclusive piece of hardware. The only drawback: it's quite expensive. | -
