For those wondering about sound, it sounds like they have improved the onboard sound quality of the board by a lot. It says
Also in the Conclusion
Don't know how good that is but, maybe its the end of days for sound cards :/
Shame your quotes are not includet in my qoute.
It's still a weak chip with limited hardware support for a lot of things. The sound quality will be better than most onboard, but I would not sell a dedicated card in favor of this.
Dedicated is still better, but no longer a must.
Can anyone recommend a mini wireless card for this board? I'd like to use the adapter to have a wireless option on the board!
I was told that a mini pcie card is more reliable and has better performance than its USB counterpart.How about a USB external model? That way, it becomes portable in case you need it for a laptop, internet connected console or TV, BluRay player, etc.

I would like to ask the same question. Are there wifi cards that can be inserted in a pcie slot?
I looked into it a bit and the mPCI-E WiFi card still needs two/three external antennae + two/three IPX to SMA cable adapters that connect the antennae to wifi card. Overall the normal PCI-E WiFi card looks to be the cleaner/cheaper solution if you can spare the PCI-E slots.Which better? A pcie wifi card or a mpcie wifi card? I want to use the mpcie slot pf the gene v but it feels that the onr with the antenna would recieve the signals better. Thoughts anyone?
So, I'm curious. According to the specs page, this board has this sound card:
SupremeFX III built-in 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
However, the driver downloads and the motherboard manual call out the Realtek drivers. So who exactly makes the sound card? Is it just a regular Realtek part with a fancy name?

Just received the Maximus V Gene (was on Maximus IV Gene-z before) and mounted my 2500k with 4x4Go Corsair Vengenance. Unfortunately, only DiMM slots A1 & A2 are working (first 2 slots, one black, one red). Any combination with slots B1 and/or B2 gives me a Qcode 55 and no boot at all.
Does it sound like a defect mobo to you guys ? It was working great on the MaxIVGenZ
I also tried to reseat the CPU, I didn't saw any bent socket pin but same results. I think I'll RMA this one if there is no other solution

My Maximum Gene V showed up yesterday. I was able to put my build together pretty quick with an i5-2500k. Now I'm working on getting Windows 7 installed. I've been running Mac OS X for so long my Windows-foo is a little rusty. I'll be doing re-install #3 tonight when I get home so I can get everything right the first time.
Is there a marketing-speak decoder ring? The motherboard manual for this thing, and the Ai Suite Applications, are just dripping with marketing jargon. I honestly haven't the slightest idea what a lot of this stuff does. Things have sure changed in the last few years since I built a machine.
Has anyone tried to put the CoolerMaster 212+ on this board? It looks like it might interfere with the memory slots.
80% of the ROG software is nonsense, window themes, themed version of CPU-Z, window gadgets, ROG GameFirst network bandwidth allocater, GPU/CPU overclocking tools, voltage controls, and other junk. Your core drivers are going to be..
The Intel and Asmedia USB 3 Drivers
LAN Drivers
Intel Chipset Drivers
Realtek Audio Drivers
Intel Graphics Accelerator (if your going to use the onboard graphics)
Sound Blaster X-Fi MB 2 Utility (for audio tweaking, semi-optional)
The OCing tools are good for small tweaking but primarily you'll want to use the BIOS. Everything else isn't needed, wish they could make it easier to find the core drivers, most people don't understand that they don't need all that extra stuff and just confuse themselves.
