Asus Rampage V Extreme Motherboard Review @ Hardware Slave

I have always been a fan of Asus motherboards, they are red and usually pretty badass.  The Rampage V was on display quite often at CES and likely the availability and ease of use played a big factor in that.

Hardware Slave has a review posted and you might give it a look.

With the advent of the X99 Chipset from Intel, a bunch of new motherboards are needed to support this. Intel also released a revised Intel i7 CPUs to support this. Not only that but with the chipset and CPU releases, a new CPU socket was released at this same time; the LGA 2011-v3. While most manufacturers have the elite line of high kit, there is probably no better known range than the Rampage series.

The LGA 2011-v3 socket and X99 chipset release means you need to buy a new CPU, your old X79 CPUs will not fit, and not only that, you will need some DDR4. You may be reading this for a lot of reasons, one may be about parting with your cash for a top of the line CPU, memory and motherboard. The Asus Rampage V Extreme is the top of the range at this time, and should be a consideration on anyone’s wish list for that full ATX SLI or Crossfire mother of all rigs.

Eventually I might start reviewing Asus stuff again but, sadly some of that is out of my hands.  So, unless I open the pocketbook it might remain that way for awhile.
