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. Make sure your processor is properly cooled (we used the Corsair H90 LCS cooler)ĪSUS recently released an update to their Rampage IV series motherboards with a black edition.


Pretty much we need to take a couple of steps if we want to overclock. We're keeping it simple, but anything over Gulftown on LCS (roughly 4.2 GHz) always is a win in my book for a six-headed beast. With so much ridiculous horsepower in the system, (engineering samples we must add) we could not resist trying out overclocking.
