***Asus Rampage III Extreme Owners Thread***

[Leeghoofd]

I have a question regarding the PCIe slots on the Rampage III Extreme before I purchase for a new PC build. I need a MB that has enough PCIe slots for the following: 2 x GTX 570 SLI, OCZ RevoDrive X2 240gb (uses PCIe x4), Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty (uses PCIe x1), and a eSATA controller card for a Rosewill 8 Drive Enclosure (uses PCIe x1). So I need at least 5 PCIe ports. This motherboard looks like I would be able to get all of the above plugged in, skipping the PCI port since I don't need one.

No idea if the Revo is gonna work properly with that Esata controller and soundcard plugged in... if it works it's amasingly fast...

My revo works fine in the bottom PCI-E 16X port, not tried any other slot...

3 LOTES boards here : one topping at 235, one 230 and one 224 on air... don't think it's got anything to do with the slot mechanism... it's all in the IOH chipset... just quickly test them dude, it takes 10 minutes or so...
