Hey ASUS, wake up! Give us a bios update for our expensive boards! We paid you good money for the equipment AND support. If you want your ROG series to be taken seriously then support it seriously!!!!!!
Innovative
Have a great bios design and great long term bios support
The best of the best
Similar to other boards
Overpriced
I just read the reviews and then decide
I think of them as gaming boards
I think of them as overclocking boards
I think of them as gaming and overclocking boards
Interested in a ROG competiton board for OC ( no audio, no network etc )

I bought my Rampage Formula x48 less than 3 years ago and it has been unsupported for a long time already (latest BIOS release was in 2009!). There are issues with the BIOS that can be seen in the "x48 Rampage Formula Preview" thread on these forums as well as on the ASUS forums. ASUS doesn't seem to listen or care that there are problems with this board. I expected better support for such an expensive board (which was pretty much top of the line at the time besides the Rampage Extreme) In hindsight, I wish I'd gone with the EP45-UD3P.
Overall, I'd give the hardware 4/5 stars. I'm pretty happy with it except for the heatsinks. The contact the stock heatsinks make with the nb/sb/fets is just terrible (though this is expected). Also, the heatsinks themselves are mediocre. On the high end/overclocking boards I would like to see pure copper heatsinks rather than copper plated junk that needs to be replaced by new heatsinks or water blocks for high overclocks.
The support I would give 2/5 stars. As I mentioned above, there hasn't been a new BIOS release in YEARS! Just because there are new boards coming out does not mean you should stop supporting the old ones. The fact that the last BIOS for this board was released a YEAR after I got it is pretty disappointing as there were a number of features that were asked for to be added as well as some problems that needed to be fixed. I see a number of people have had better success on DFI and GIGABYTE boards, and it has me wishing I'd gotten one of them.
My next motherboard will probably not be a ROG board. I think I'll try another brand.

sick and tired of upgrading due to minimal changes.....
give me a Modular LGA CPU waffle, a IOH Block, modular PCI (expansion slots) just about a system that when the new LGA2011 comes out all i have to buy from you "manufacturers" is expansion upgrade cards.......
oh yeah i want lots fiber optics to transfer data.......lets do away with copper

If have got ASUS MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z.
IT GOT NO SEPERATE SETTING FOR VCCSA AND VCCIO - I HAVE TO SET VCCSA OVER INTEL SPECS TO RUN IT WTF.
Please fix this ASAP - overclockers will return it back to dealer for a fail like that.

any revision bios update on Rampage III Black edition? i need it
I have a few ASUS items "Striker II extreme and a G73 laptop" my thoughts are on the laptop, tho it is a very nice PC, the issue i have with it is the shape of the rubber feet. i assumed that it would be fixed with the next version of the laptop but i now see they did change the shape. unfortantly they went with something that is going to have the same trouble. issue with the rubber feet = they are shaped into points and on a desk the rubber foot has more traction then the adhesive that holds them on has. so when and or if you have the laptop sitting on a desk or alike surface and want to slide it, the feet roll right off the laptop. fixing this will take a rounded foot with no points or to greatly reduce this from happening feet that are actually attached to the laptop. if it were a run of the mill laptop i could understand but it is not and nor is the price you pay for it.
It's the GO-Button

hmm in a review they say also about a mem-ok button. but where can I find it?
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/mot...us-iv-gene-z/1That’s not to say that all the crazy features have been cut out, though (it wouldn’t be a ROG board if it was completely sensible). Niche items such as the ProbeIt voltage monitoring points and the ROG connect external overclocking features are still present, for example. The board also comes with a healthy count of four USB 3 ports (two on the back panel, and two via an internal header), Asus’ useful MemOK! memory debugger and onboard power, reset and overclocking buttons.

Would be nice if ASUS followed MSI for voltage read out points, can easily do multimeter readings while I have the motherboard in the case this way.
Infact MSI have it this way even on their budget clocking boards, add this to your ASUS PRO and DELUXE motherboards as well please.

I am a new owner of a Rampage IV Extreme and having been out of the game for a while this board absolutely floored me. The amount of detail that was given and the plethora of options in the bios and even directly on the board is astounding, so major kudos to you folks for building an incredible board.
That said, I think it would be amazing if you were to create an Android app that utilizes USB Host Mode capabilities on the Android tablets/phones so that we can use the Asus ROG Connect directly from the tablet, rather than another PC. That alone would make the Asus Transformer Prime the ultimate Overclocking companion Hope you guys consider it in the (near) future!

Not sure how you could do this but it would be cool if the ROG boards came pre insulated for sub zero. Pre installed neoprene or something that would be replaceable if it got damaged over time.

Also please stop using that red plastic on your boards (PCI-E and mem slots) that turns pink over time. Find a plastic that can retain the color.

Only the Extreme has the the plug and cables. The other ROG have just test points. Would be nice for all the ROG to have the plugs and cables.
I have owned the X38 Rampage, the R3E which caught fire, A G50VT laptop, multiple video cards... I am kind of a fan of ASUS products. But I am on the fence this time around for X79.
