ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition Motherboard Review @ Bjorn3D

Around the time the EVGA X79 Dark hit the shelves ASUS was busy putting the finishing touches on their own X79 refresh dubbed the Rampage IV Black Edition.  The board is very similar to the normal Rampage IV with a few notable differences.  

Of course some people swear that the changes are awesome while others don't find them all that appealing.  The fact of the matter is, if you are in the market for X79 you will be hard pressed to find anything better because you simply cannot buy them.

Except for the EVGA X79 Dark, that board is awesome.

Echoes of AC/DC ring in my head as I came up with this title, and it took everything in me not to have about a thousand different “Back in black” references but I think we can survive a few. ASUS seems to reserve its “Black Edition” moniker for very special models as im sure some of you saw back when we got a chance to check out the Rampage III Black edition board based on the X58 chipset. That thing was a flat out beast and from looking at the specs on paper the Rampage IV Black edition is no different. Well we can say that in a manner of speaking as it looks to be a flat out beast but it is in terms entirely different as the technology on this board is seemingly light years ahead of the previous generation Black edition board, and even huge leaps ahead of the first Rampage IV Extreme board we viewed what must be 2 years ago now.

Gotta love the long quotes, helps me fill my google quota for text vs link.
