ASUS RoG Rampage IV Black Edition Motherboard Coming This Month
The new ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition will be officially released in the U.S. 18/11 and promises to unleash the full potential of Intel's LGA 2011 Core i7 Ivy Bridge-E processors.
Based on the Intel X79 Express chipset, the Rampage IV Black Edition includes all of the ROG technologies for gaming and overclocking. It comes with four PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots, two PCI-E 2.0 x1 slots and eight DIMM slots supporting up to 64GB of overclocked DDR3 DRAM, and supports both 4-way NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX.
Every Rampage IV Black Edition includes a free copy of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
The Rampage IV Black Edition includes the OC Panel, a real-time system-monitoring and tuning console. It can be mounted internally for everyday monitoring of temperatures, base clock and fan speeds while also offering one-click CPU Level Up for an instant speed boost. Externally, it can be used to monitor and control multiple parameters in real-time via onboard buttons.
The motherboard's Extreme Engine DIGI+ III voltage-regulator module (VRM) provides precise and stable power delivery by employing NexFET MOSFETs, 60A (amp) chokes and Japanese-made 10K black metallic capacitors. The motherboard's black-themed heat-sink is exclusively integrated with the MOSFET area to extend to the input/output (I/O) cover.
Built-in SupremeFX Black technology promises sound quality that is on par with high-end dedicated sound cards. Audio quality is further enhanced by components such as ELNA audio capacitors and German-made WIMA film capacitors, while op-amps (operational amplifiers) and a Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC (digital/analog converter) deliver lossless audio and a 120dB SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).
ROG?s Sonic Radar on-screen overlay provides fans of first-person shooter (FPS) games with an ear to the ground, as it displays the precise direction and origin of in-game sounds such as gunshots, footsteps and call-outs.
Intel Gigabit Ethernet with ROG's GameFirst II utility optimizes network traffic to keep latency to a minimum and reduce all-important ping times. The ROG RAMDisk utility allows up to 80% of a computer's available RAM to be used as a high-speed virtual drive - lending a performance boost to many modern games that regularly read or write data during gameplay.
The Rampage IV Black Edition is currently available for pre-order at Newegg.com for US consumers and Canada Computers, Memory Express and NCIX for Canadian consumers. General availability is scheduled the week of November 18, 2013 for US$499.
