Wow there is a lot of stuff on that motherboard.

it sure looks like a killer board.....
I have also heard good things about the rampage,...
Nice board, but nehalem is too close get a 775 board, it looks too bloated.
\\yea, they don't have an inch of space on that thing.,...Quote:

Uh since most people have pci slot sound card's pci is good.
They just started introducing pci-e 1 sound cards recently.
Sure looks pretty, but.. Far too expensive for a 775 board at this point. X58, 1366 and Nehalem is practically right around the corner. :)
To much :banana::banana::banana::banana: going on on that board for my liking, and yest to close to nehalm to go to that i feel
And way out of my price range, id have to sell one of my kids to get that thing.
I'm still waiting for the first Mobo with built-in WiFi support... Especially as PCI seems to be disappearing....
Otherwise, that board at least looks like business....
Best Regards :toast:
You know Asus has a bunch of WiFi mobos?Quote:

But looking at the Maximums II formula, which is the P45 cousin of this board, they had 8 sata. So it looks like just 2 more additional SATA ports through some other 3rd party controller.
Rampage formula has the same layout.Quote:

Yes, i have learned my lesson and am not jumping on any new technology intill it has matured, its not worth the headache that comes along when you need a stable and working 24/7 system.Quote:

What ever happened to the Pinot Noir? anyone else remember that one (yes...I know it's essentially a blinged out Rampage extreme)
yes what he said!!! that is why i have been holding off on going to ddr3 mobo so i can upgrade all @ once when the nehalem boards come out i dont want to wast money on a new mobo when im going to replace it again @ the end of the yearQuote:

very weird pciE slot placement... :eh:

Oh god, another motherboard that looks like the machine city in the matrix, wonder if Neo is actually in this one, couldn't find him in the MSI boards, false advertisement i say.
sound card rox though, try to say the name 3 times fast!! Thats my test for good hardware, if you cant say the name 3 times fast, its an awesome product!
I'll probably get called a troll but as much as I think this board looks rather cool and feature rich (albeit slightly cluttered), I wish ASUS would stop churning out new boards and concentrate on fixing all the niggling glitchs, bugs and problems in their X38 based BIOSES (for the P5E series boards).
I have 2 different P5E boards (one DDR2 based 8400 PC the other DDR3 QX Yorkfield Quad based PC).
BOTH are flashed with their latest respective BIOS yet only the P5E3 has the correct voltages for the 45nm core, P5E over volts.
and then we get onto the other glitches...performance level is not described correctly in either BIOS.
If ASUS sort their BIOS' out then they would be great boards.
Getting back on Topic I do love the break out PCI-E card included with the Rampage Extreme, IMHO the P5E3 should have a PCI-E slot above the 1st graphics slot for Audio.
The other featuers such as heat sinks on the board look useful to, and the solid caps are always better than the good old caps we used to get a few years back on the ASUS boards :up:

That is why its a little late, remember also X48 has another year at least to live so there is still a huge market for it
I personally wouldn't mind purchasing this board if it was able to OC Yorkfields as good or better then the P45, but I doubt it will be able to.
I am also in agreement with.....

exactly, if your going to spend a million dollars on another Asus board, at least wait a few more months and get the new nehalem (sp?) boards..... Asus, and im sure most other companies will try to market the dead 775socket boards just 1 more time to get our monies, dont fall for it:up:Quote:

1st one ICH9R with 6 SATA
2d one Marvell with 2 internal PATA and one external SATA
3d one Silicon with 2 SATA
pic found on the same site as OP
OK pic is too big to upload here...link comes in a minute
http://pic.xfastest.com/MB/ASUS/RAMP...REME/RE-03.jpg
edit:
(I made a stupid confusion when I first posted here due to the same number of controllers on the RE like on the Maximus II...which doesn't change anything as to the nature of the primary controler on the RE/X48, that remains an ICH9R of course, and no ICH10R only available with P45 atm. (and BTW it's been confirm X58 will ship with ICH10R).
The pci-e x1 xifi audio cards that have been on several boards now are very, very nice. In saying the board was late, I may have implied that the features were not good. That is not the case, it is a very good board from the spec sheet.
Damn, I need a second job. No SLi but its not like I can afford a second 280 GTX anyway although the price war is making that a possibility each day.
Oh no, I feel an upgrade coming on.
The board is gorgeous, love the (Windows Vista Certified) Start Button and Thermalright esq VRM coolers. Hell it even has an Extreme Engine.
I wonder if a 4000 series quadfire setup on this board would beat tripple GTX280 SLi on EVGA 790i. All the red with a pair of 4870s of x2s would look fantastic in my red Cosmos. This board probably wouldn't have been released if ATi hadn't pulled a blinder with the 4000 series.

So this is basically a DDR3 Rampage Formula with the revised heatsink/WB along with the onboard Xfi right? What was the MSRP supposed to be? $400+ ?
since the current rampage is about $300 and the the new maximus II has almost the same exact design for $279, i'm estimating it will be about $350Quote:

Any word on release date?
Am i the only one who thinks their boards are too...gimmicky?....
Have you used one of the recent ASUS boards - Maximus or Rampage, Kingcarcas?
You might think it looks tacky but I must say the passive sinks on their x38/x48 boards work very well. I have the Formula myself and am very impressed with it. This board seems to be only an improvement on it. My last 3 boards I've replaced the stock cooling right off the bat because it sucked ( which means more money I shouldn't have had to spend after the fact )and this is the first board I'm keeping stock because it works. The lack of noise is also a plus.Quote:

Ugly as all hell, looks like a toy truck you'd give a 4 year old.
oooo, nice:up::cool:Quote:

damn sexy board but...
A) probably costs about 800 dollars
B) is the "overclocking" part covered under warranty, or is it another marketing gimmick like foxconns "quantum force"
The waterblock looks pretty disappointing. Looks like 3/8 barbs that are forged on.
It comes with the ICH10R SB and the IO Port is SATAQuote:

No you are wrong. The person who got the board will know or can find out. We just need to move this question up the chain till it reaches the source and then back to us again... so can the original poster go back to his/her source and ask the question? And ask the source (in the case that his/her source does not know) to go up to his/her source and ask the question .... and so on till we all get an answer?Quote:

Pure speculation, but I'm thinking about 4-6 weeks, hopefully sooner though.
New images of ASUS Rampage Extreme:

More @ http://kinc.se/rampex/
that block looks to be made from aluminium... when will they learn:shakes:
@$284 to $325 that makes Nehalem less than the cost of the wildly popular E6600 that sold for as much as $360. For the first 6 months the lowest price was about where Nehalem 2.66GHz will start. The problem is the Motherboard's cost might look just like this Asus Board. I'd stick with the $130 version until Nehalem ships.Quote:

Thanks All.
Yes you can run a single GTX280 in it.
Bloatboard that gets outdated within 2 months. Still a nice board though. :)
this board is like some lego construction kit - there are hundreds of possibilities to attach parts to it :lol:
though, this board looks awesome. it's bloated yes, but just from the looks it's very high-grade and the black, red and gray colors mix up very well.
and all the settings, and the Tweakit function just seems to rock with on-the-fly settings.... can it be better? and those who got the board, it simply rock! very feature rich bios, good cooling... good components, this is Asus nr1 card i think... its a "me want warning" all over it hehe.
Now in stock at www.overclockers.co.uk !!
That's $450 :eek:
I think I might go with a P5Q or Maximus II if the price is the same here in US.
super overpriced!!! fail
As all Enthusiast motherboards with ddr3, all top notch x48 boards costs as much. its just to swallow it and buy.. :)
That's why its at that price:rolleyes: If you didn't just swallow and buy, the price on this one wouldn't be so outrageous.Quote:
