Within that motto ASUS has it's own Gene series within the motherboard line up. The board now sports a quartet of PCIe x16 slots capable of supporting three-way SLI or four-way CrossFireX, support for 24GB DDR3 at speeds of up to 2,200MHz and then the fun begins, USB 3.0, SATA 6G, a ThunderBolt add-on card that integrates Xonar sound as well as BigFoot's Killer NPU. The spec-sheet might read pretty similar to last year's Rampage III Extreme, but there have been a few tweaks alright. Improved overclockability, black design (including a black colored BIOS). Then will throw a decent photo-shoot and a benchmark suite at the products and get an indication what performance is like with the Intel Core i7-3960X (Sandy Bridge-E) and X79 Platform.ĪSUS are launching the ASUS Rampage III Black Edition and it just has to be the most exclusive X58 motherboard we have ever had our hands on. Head on over to the next page where we'll discuss the X79 chipset, the respective ASUS model. The ROG team this time went wild, releasing a motherboard with all the features that last-gen motherboards should have such as USB 3.0 connectivity, Bluetooth, eSATA connectors, SATA 6.0Gbps, and 7.1 channel audio, but the real x-factor of the Rampage IV Extreme can only be found when we look at its overclocking features. It's big, fast and black and has tweaking written all over it. ASUS recently released an update to their Rampage IV series motherboards with a black edition.
