| iROG Intelligent multiple control at hand The iROG is a special IC which enables several ROG highlighted functions that gives users full disposal of the motherboard at any stage! This design allows advanced user control and management to be processed purely at a hardware level. iROG greatly increases fun during overclocking for PC enthusiasts and it offers system maintenance and management with more control and efficiency. USB BIOS Flashback No worry of BIOS crash anytime! USB BIOS Flashback must be the most convenient way to flash BIOS ever! It allows overclockers to try their BIOS with the simplest way one can imagine. No need to enter the BIOS or the operating system, just plug the thumb drive into the ROG Connect port & push the ROG Connect button for 2 seconds, BIOS would be automatically flashed under standby power. It´s no doubt that USB BIOS Flashback gives overclockers the ultimate convenience. Voltiminder LED Friendly reminder on Voltage Settings In the pursuit of extreme performance, overvoltage adjustment is critical but risky. Acting as the "red zone" of a tachometer, the Voltiminder LED displays the voltage status for CPU, PCH, and Memory in a intuitive colour-coded fashion. The voltiminder LED allows quick voltage monitoring for overclockers. Probelt Get all hands-on with hardware-based overclocking ProbeIt takes the guesswork out of locating the motherboard´s measurement points, identifying them clearly in the form of 5 sets of detection points so you´ll know exactly where to get quick yet accurate readings using a multimeter. Extreme Engine Digi+ The implementation of Extreme Engine Digi+ was designed to enable overclockers to push the new generation of CPUs to the limit. The next-generation dynamic multi-phase power management system equipped with high performance ML Caps that ensure a stable power supply during overvoltage by lowering ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), which successfully delivers the advantage of both analog and digital VRM all in one go, keeping mission-critical components such as the processor, system memory and the Northbridge reliable while maintaining high power efficiency. - 8-phase CPU power - 3-phase QPI/DRAM p0wer - 3-phase NB power - 3-phase Memory power - ML caps on CPU, memory and QPI respectively EZPlug More power for the power hungry monsters The Rampage III Extreme comes with two sets of E-ATX 12V, and two sets of 4-pin Molex plugs, delivering enough power for power hungry monster rigs when conducting extreme overclocking. LN2 Mode Cold-boot bug is a barrier which overclockers often need to face when conducting subzero overclocking with LN2 (Liquid Nitrogen). When the cold-boot bug occurs, the CPU will no longer POST till it has been warmed up again. The LN2 Mode exclusively supported by Rampage III Extreme enables users to remedy this limitation, delivering non-stop smooth extreme overclocking capability, which makes Rampage III Extreme the perfect choice for all overclockers under LGA1366 platform. RC Bluetooth Overwhelm your acknowledgement with wireless overclocking experience! System Debug and keyboard-free overclocking have evolved a long way in the past years. However, regardless of any existing design, users still cannot gain the full control the system without either opening up the chassis, or simply getting back to the good old trusty keyboard. Thank to the Forth generation Asus TweakIt technology via the iROG processor, users can now gain the full control of the keyboard-free overclocking and debug tools wirelessly via their very own Bluetooth device anytime, anywhere. Q Reset ROG Connect Plug and Overclock - Tweak it the hardcore way! MemOK! Bios Flashback Two BIOS ROM. Two BIOS settings. Twice the overclocking flexibility. CPU Level Up A Simple click for instant upgrade Extreme Tweaker One stop performance tuning shop COP Ex Maximum OC with confidence with burn proof protection to chipsets and GPU! Loadline Calibration Optimal power boost for extreme CPU overclocking! Onboard Switch No more shorting pins or moving jumpers ASUS Q-Connector Make connections quick and accurate Q-Fan Plus Optimized quietness and cooling for more devices! |
The Rampage III Extreme sports numerous features unique to the Republic of Gamers line of motherboards and has specifications to match. This comprehensive list demonstrates ASUS's attention to detail and each small touch they've added has big implications whether you're using the board for normal application or pushing it to its limit. ASUS doesn't limit the user to just one way of doing things, be it overclocking or simply turning on the board! But rest assured that all those features are very useful and not gimmicks as some may think.
The board is laden with everything users would ever want so on that basis alone, it looks promising and a suitable successor to the Rampage II Extreme. But let's see how these features reflect on performance and overclockability.
