Asus_Rampage-II Extreme

Asus Rampage II Extreme board is the ultimate board for Overclocking with all new and advance proprietary features and gives an option for one for all motherboard for advance users, designers and gamers. It supports LGA1366 Intel® Core™i7 Processor on Intel® X58 Chipset.

Major Noticeable features:-

(a)        Processor – LGA1366 Intel® Core™i7 Processor and integrated technology Intel(R) QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) with system bus up to 6.4GT/s and a max bandwidth of up to 25.6GB/s. These (i7) Intel® Bloomfield processor is one of the most powerful and energy efficient CPU in the world.

(b)        Memory -  Supports upto 24 GB DDR 3 with Triple-channel, DDR3 DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600(O.C.)/1333/1066

(c)        Multi GPU Technology -  Supports (SLI – Nvidia / CrossFire – ATI )  up to three graphics cards at a time to run in coordination.

(d)        Sound -  With an emphasis on high quality design, the Supreme FX X-Fi (external card supplied with accessory) utilizes the ADI 2000B audio codec, Creative X-Fi suite, CMSS3D and Crystalizer technologies, and authentic EAX sound effects to produce top-notch virtual 3D surround sounds to bring gamers one step closer to “being really there” in their games. Gives an 8-channel audio with an optical and S/PDIF port.

(e)       ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) -

(i)    TweakIT – The joystick-like control puts every overclocking option in the user´s fingertips, allowing the users performance optimizations options during game play to gain the competitive edge
(ii)    Probelt – ProbeIt takes the guesswork out of locating the motherboard’s measurement points, identifying them clearly in the form of eight sets of detection points so you’ll know exactly where to get quick yet accurate readings using a multitester.
(iii)    Extreme Engine with Multilayer type Polymer Capacitors Design – Extreme Engine ensures a stable power supply during overvoltage by lowering Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), keeping critical components such as the processor, system memory and the Northbridge reliable.
(iv)    CPU Level Up – Upgrade your CPU at no additional cost with ROG´s CPU Level Up. Simply pick the processor you wanted to overclock to, and the motherboard will do the rest. See the new CPU speed and enjoy that performance instantly. Overclocking is never as easy as this.
(v)    BIOS FlashBack – BIOS Flashback gives overclockers the ability to save two versions of the BIOS simultaneously.
(vi)    Loadline Calibration – Maintaining ample voltage support for the CPU is critical during overclocking. The Loadline Calibration ensures stable and optimal CPU voltage under heavy loading. It helps overclockers enjoy the motherboard´s ultimate overclocking capabilities and benchmark scores.
(vii)    External LCD Poster – The new LCD Poster now posts critical POST information in an ever friendly and flexible external display. When system malfunction occurs, the LCD Poster automatically detects device failure and translates the errors on the LCD during POST.
(viii)    Onboard Switch – With an easy press during overclock, this exclusive onboard switch allows gamer to effortlessly fine-tune the performance without having to short the pins or moving jumpers!
