New Rampage Extreme Board?

[Utnorris]

Ok, so apparently Andre has a new board to play with:

Obviously a ROG board, but which one is it? C'mon Andre, spill the beans!!!!

Rampage III Extreme if the follow Maximus naming conventions ?

[Bodkin]

Grr, I need more deatils, and yet I need to get a new x58 ASAP

[ChinStrap]

sweet.

i wanna see what the stock chipset sink looks like

[Sadasius]

Colors for the Rampage are off on this board. Looks more like a Maximus color pattern to me.

Great. I just started building a WC'd rig around an EVGA x58 Classified (760).

You've done the right choice in my opinion. many people are disappointed(look at the poll in the Intel section) about ROG boards, costs really much and do not performs as how they cost. I'm sure the UD7 can do really good, or also the X58 Premium one

yes, New Board Name Rampage III Extreme

[Utnorris]

Did you read what Andre said about the board? He is pretty damn happy with the results so far. I would imagine this board won't be out till January and if you got the Classified already I wouldn't consider that a bad choice anyway.

Hope they finally decided to use digital PWM. Otherwise - fail...

[Helloworld_98]

maybe it's a maximus for x58, or a standard atx r2e

[NanoBullet]

I hope them to correct the stupid coldboot issue that i usually have, not always but randomly, specially when i turn the power button off from my corsay tx 850.

Funny, I had coldboot issues with P5Q, too. Asus...

[SamHughe]

I had coldboot issues since P4C800 Deluxe so nothing new in that front.

Looks like the REIII will have the NF200 chip:

There is a dual nf200 version and a non nf200 version.

Any word on the final form factor?

I think a board that is 8 expansion brackets "deep" would still be okay with most folks since there are enough attractive cases (to cover different tastes) that are able to facilitate one. Seems it takes 9 brackets in Andre's photos though, like the E762... It's not like any bencher would care anyway, right?

[PatRaceTin]

EATX for sure may be larger

Asus follow Evga Classified

[alfaunits]

They won't go for larger, it's too hard to find cases that fit most EATX boards and don't make cabling a living hell anyway

[Hunt3r_Br]

Rampage III Extreme.

Actually I found the answer in the above linked thread. Its going to be an XL-ATX board, not as deep as a regular EATX but much taller requiring a case with 10 expansion brackets.

As for the name: Recent ROG boards adopted a standardized naming scheme that saw Intel boards end up with either the maximus (P series chipset) or the rampage (X series chipset) moniker, while the roman numeral that follows the name represents the generation of the chipset the board is based on. For example: the Maximus line started with the X38 chipset (an X chipset, exception before the naming standard was set) followed by the P45 based Maximus II and now represented by the P55 based Maximus III. The rampage line went from the two original X48 boards to the current X58 Rampage II Extreme. The last part of the name represents the featureset and had been inconsistent until the recent P55 Maximus III Extreme announcement. It used to differentiate between DDR2 and DDR3 support but then the extreme boards started gaining additional features over formula boards and this is where it gets tricky for the R2E and it's upcoming same chipset successor... God, why am I even typing out this crap?

Ah, expressing my doubt over the R3E name the forumites have seemingly universally adopted for the incoming board. Let's face it, the current Rampage II Extreme is more of a formula board performance wise and they are going to have to come up with something to differentiate between them. The marketing team at ASUS might go against their own naming scheme this time and it may very well end up being named Rampage III Extreme. Or, they might use "Rampage II" and change the featureset related part of the name since they are treading new territory with the size and 4 way GPU support. Or, they might just reuse "Rampage II Extreme" and tack on some nonsense at the end (4 way SLI anyone?)...

Just my two cents.

I was hoping they would name it the Rampage Jackson . . .
