Asus - Rampage III Extreme review

almost perfect enthusiasts' motherboard

The finish of the board is excellent, and it looks the part in their color scheme of red and black, Reporters Without Borders. There are some nice design touches throughout the board, hence the use of single-sided DIMM slots, a locking bar at one end, the six memory slots resources (supports up to 24GB of RAM) should be placed, is closer to the PCI slots E graphics card than normal. That practice, as Rampage Extreme III has four, yes, you really have to read four PCI-E graphics card. The four slots support both CrossFire and SLI, ideal for the ultra-game or workstations.

Based on Intel socket 1366 chipset combo and X58/ICH10, the Board of passive cooling used in the heat itself as something to sink Tate modern look, and if you are overclocking the Northbridge well beyond the call of duty, there is a separate radiator complete with a 40mm fan in the box bundle.

For any serious overclocking, need a motherboard and a stable power supply, Asus has for this area very well, used with high-end components in the design power of the board, including solid capacitors, ferrite core and all-vu. This not only help keep the running stable, they also help in terms of thermals under control of the board of directors.

Overclockers have a very modified BIOS, and Asus has once again not only that, but also a dual-chip switchable BIOS provided. Using the small red button on the map, you can switch between the BIOS so that you can use a standard rock-steady system for everyday use and others have a separate entrance, if you want to have fun. Pressing another small red button on the map, you can boot it, even if there is no compatibility issue between the board and all of the memory used: press the button, the Board of automatically sort memory timings, so to start. A nice touch.

Supplied in the box is a Bluetooth module for perhaps the coolest thing on the board: ROG Connect. Using Bluetooth or USB cable (supplied in the box), you can get on with a laptop, another PC or PDA and dynamically controlled conveniently from your favorite comfy chair can connect (with the exception of the multiplier CPU) of the forum settings.

Future security depends on a pair of SATA helped 6 Gb / s ports, which should, with the six SATA 3 Gb / s ports, storage for the most part, while sitting on the rear panel I / S, a pair of USB 3.0 ports in collaboration with six USB 2.0 ports.

With its high price, this board is fairly and squarely less passionate and professional overclockers who can get the best variety of overclocking features planned for them and for them it's almost the perfect motherboard.

Verdict
It is difficult to get a motherboard that was recommended almost same cost as a total quality system, but for the small niche of users, that the Asus Rampage Extreme III is concerned, it is almost the motherboard ideal for it is highly recommended. For the rest of us, it is an excellent example of what can be done with a design board these days
