board looks good, im surprised there is no nf200 tho :confused:
Looks good but we are going to need taller boards so we can have more PCI-e slots with space for better cooling.
awesome lookout! i hope its performance will be awesome too! :clap:
one for me please! It definitely looks EATX, no problem with that. I wonder..$600 US? :rofl: I'm calling off christmas.
Wow Cool !!
not see NF 200 chip........@@
I thought the chip wasnt required since they are licensing it in software?
this board looks so nice it should be called "BADASS Edition" :D
hmmm for me it would be back as wellQuote:

Either way I don't think you're going to be hurting for memory at 12GB.Quote:

Not that they are needed, but they are the main symbol of the ROG series.....
Oh, my next motherboard :)
The only thing i dont like is the pci-e 8x-8x when 3 slots are used - I would have preferred 16x-16x-4x
TweaKit is on the wrong side of the board, other than that it looks killer.
Thanks for the preview Sampsa.
that is the best it can do without using an extra chipset for more PCI-E lanes.Quote:

I usually have the I/O ports facing me and the power connector furthest away from me so that all ports face forward.Quote:

That's one of the most unspectacular designs ever. When I think Rampage, I think explosions and naked babes riding on a dragon with Chuck Norris chanting heroic anthems in the background.
Will be a good board though, one of those boards which one should be able to rely on.
I don't think ASUS would sell too many if the price is in the $600.00 range. Let's hope this is a "merry" Christmas and they keep the price reasonable!Quote:

Nah It's lovely and sure looks badass
haha i don't like the sound of that either, is it wishful thinking to hope that its gonna be $300?Quote:

for cfx if its a hybrid sli/cfx board i see sli being slots 1-2-3 and 1-3, but I
see cfx being slots 1-2 or 1-2-3 not 1-3 so that leaves 4870x2 right up against another card. thats only thing I see that could be fixed :up:
as for the flashy cooling this is not final retail board so cooling will change
yeah some of the prices Asus has in australia are just mind blowingQuote:

heavily depends on what country we are talking about, in the uk it will no doubt be 600$+, but in the usa probably more like 300 - 350$ if even that much.Quote:

That almost makes me want to buy that instead of waiting for DFI's.. . !
I had trouble counting the mosfets...
definitely love this over the other asus board...
