RightMark Audio Analyzer Results

The ASUS Crosshair IV Formula sounded good while gaming. Although, a deeper analysis with RightMark Audio Analyzer showed that the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula fell short of the ASRock 890GX Extreme3. Most notably, the IMD + Noise % (intermodulation) was quite a bit higher than the other motherboards that we are testing.
