This time we get a predominantly black box with silver highlights. In a break from the typical red ROG theme we see, the Black Edition packaging carries its name right on over to the box. Pretty impressive stuff going on there… let’s get the box on the table and have a look around for ourselves! Packaging and First Look In conjunction with G.Skill, they recently set a new memory frequency record of 4072 MHz. 4-Way NIVDIA® SLI™ / AMD CrossFireX™ SupportĪSUS proudly lets you know the RIVBE has broken several benchmark records recently.Sonic Radar – Scan and detect to dominate.GameFirst II + Intel LAN – Put Your Frags First.Subzero Sense – Find out how cold your board is.SupremeFX Black – Amazing 120dB signal-to-noise ratio with integrated 600ohm-headphone amplifier.Extreme Engine Digi+ III – Hardcore power delivery with premium components.Intel® Core™ i7 Processors for LGA 2011 socket.We also have a slide from the press deck showing the board’s layout and feature overview. We’ll look deeper into the features of the RIVBE when we dive into our closer look section, but here is a short list of high-level features provided by ASUS. Support for faster memory and the included OC Panel highlight the remaining differences. We also have more SATA 6 GB/s ports and an increase in USB 3.0 ports. Of note here is the addition of SupremeFX audio and wireless capabilities. Follow the link provided for the complete list of specifications.Īs far as features go, let’s begin with a list of what exactly has been improved upon over the Rampage IV Extreme. The entire list of specifications are quite long, so I provided a high level list below. The specifications below were plucked from the ASUS press deck we were provided. Initial impressions tell a story of much more than a simple X79 refresh going on here, so let’s check it out! Specifications and Features As is the case with anything ASUS slaps the ROG name on, you can expect an enormous amount of features and great aesthetics to top it off.
Most importantly perhaps is the optimized design to fully support the new Ivy Bridge-E socket 2011 processors. There have been several improvements made to enhance this X79 based board since the the Rampage IV Extreme was released a little over a year ago. In the case of the Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard, ASUS makes no bones about it being just that. The phrase “top of the line” can often be a loosely used term when describing a product.
