However, features wise you will gain so much. So what I am saying is that performance wise you will not achieve much difference in results compared to other X58 motherboards. The thing is though that everything that Intel forfeits to embed in the chipset, ASUS simply added, and that resulted in the product you have seen today. But, do all of you with ASUS ROG Connect motherboards really use these features? For me it's BIOS overclocking and nothing less. Overclocking wise the BIOS really offers everything you need, it is 99% similar to the Rampage III series BIOS, you can also opt to go geeky with ROG Connect of course. The sheer reality is that an X58 chipset remains just that, meaning overclocking and overall baseline performance is roughly equal on all higher-end X58 based motherboards with the typical exceptions here and there. Remember though, that means no quad-SLI support, thus not even two GTX 590 cards in SLI would work.Īdmittedly, it's completely over the top and that will carry its weight in gold when you look at the store price. What's good to see is that the mobo is also multi-GPU certified, you can run up-to 4 GPUs for AMD's Radeon graphics cards, and up-to 3-GPU SLI is allowed.

The cute GO, reset, clear CMOS buttons, diagnostic LED, extra power headers, Bluetooth, WIFI, the NICs, ThunderBolt and well, on and on. The plethora of functions added to this motherboard is nearly silly. So yeah, with that first paragraph of the conclusion you may have guessed it, we like the ASUS Rampage III Black Edition a lot. It's the Dark Horse riding inside your PC while you scream hi-hoo-silverrrr. The ASUS Rampage III Black Edition is silly, ridiculous, unheard of, it's GREAT.
