ASUS Rampage III Extreme Preview

[AndreYang]

Finally, I receive final version Rampage III Extreme, but no heatsink still. Some nice pics to share first.

I love these digital pwm so much. You guys will see all in the pics. R3E's size is the same as R2E. This R3E version is "Non-NF200".





























































Ready to test.






I just test uncore and memory on air quickly.











Enjoy

Nic pics! Looking forward to some numbers

Very nice mobo Andre! thanx for pics, waiting for results! :d

Do you know when the retail is out?

[dctokyo]

Nice pictures, many thanks for the post......Next to the molex plug, it says EZ_plug 2, what will this be use for? PCIe slots?

[Bodkin]

So is this board going to have a "RC Blutooth" module or are they just traces on the board for a future revision?

Thanks for sharing Andre. This board is so crowded that I wonder how Asus will fit NF200s on it... That version, of course if it's in works, that's gonna probably a little bit larger than this.

The shots are great! Eagerly waiting for the OCing results!

poison me,when can be found in retail and how much is the major concern.

these plugs just are for ATI Quad or triple crossfireX.

I think ROG series will have it in the future.

I have NF200 version R3E,too. Its size is the same as E762. I am not sure it will be available in the future. It depends on Nvidia "Quad SLI" support.

Maybe some tweaks on this one..

[damtachoa]

wow, awesome.

[Raiden]

Awesome Motherboard .. you know when this will be for sale ?

what's this chip for ?

Thanks for sharing my friend, much appreciated. Awesome mobo and now waiting for the results.

[AndreYang]

update bios options and uncore testing on air.

[Utnorris]

Did you mess around with the CPU vcore or just throughout a number that you knew would work? Just curious as it seems a little high for 4.2Ghz on a D0 chip. Love the information and really appreciate you doing all this testing Andre.

this cpu vcore should be lower without problems.

[Utnorris]

Sweet, thank you.

[eva2000]

wow looks like a very well thought out board indeed!

[tool_462]

I'll buy one if they leave that cute little blue heatsink on it

[Leeghoofd]

Thx for sharing Andre. Let's hope they hit the shelves soon. So Asus is gonna improve the IOH heatsink then, very good idea !!

Any word on max Bclock for the non extreme cpu users ?

[CryptiK]

I'd certainly like to see some more involved testing. Id this full digital VRM or 'hybrid' VRM as the Asus reps were saying in the other thread?

No idea why they used s775 mounting holes also. Aren't they for really low end boards? There are many good s1366 cooling solutions out now, I see no reason for it.

Memoryoverclocking with CL7 looks good. Remember issues with high clocks and CL7 on R2E. Seems like its getting better
