ASUS ha annunciato la motherboard di fascia alta Rampage IV Black Edition, una soluzione che implementa il form factor E-ATX e va ad ampliare
la linea di prodotti gaming e overclocking oriented indicati dal marketing con il brand Republic of Gamers (ROG).
La ROG Rampage IV Black Edition è basata sul collaudato chipset Intel X79 Express ed è pronta per lavorare con le CPU Intel socket LGA-2011 tipicamente
indicate con il nome in codice di Core i7 Ivy Bridge-E.
Oltre alla dotazione di tutte le tecnologie ROG, tra cui OC Panel, una console utente che rende possibile il monitoring in real time e il tuning
dell'hardware, la ROG Rampage IV Black Edition vanta l'equipaggiamento con otto slot per DIMM DDR3, in grado di gestire fino a 64GB di memoria centrale,
quattro slot PCI-E 3.0 x16 e due PCI-E 2.0 x1.
La nuova motherboard di ASUS è perfetta per l'assemblaggio di configurazioni multi-gpu, incluse quelle che utilizzano le tecnologie 4-way SLI di NVIDIA o
CrossFireX di AMD, mentre le prestazioni in ambito audio sono affidate alla tecnologia built-in SupremeFX Black.
La stabilità dell'hardware è assicurata dall'imiego componenti discreti di qualità elevata, oltre che da uno stadio di alimentazione che ruota intorno a un VRM di tipo Extreme Engine DIGI+ III ed è raffreddato da un pool di heat-sink dedicati.
La ROG Rampage IV Black Edition di ASUS è prenotabile ora on line presso alcuni store rivolti al bacino di utenza nordamericano, tra cui newegg, mentre la
disponibilità worldwide avrà inizio nel corso della settimana del 18 novembre.

ASUS today announced the Republic of Gamers (ROG) Rampage IV Black Edition, an E-ATX gaming and overclocking motherboard designed to unleash the full
potential of Intel LGA 2011 Core i7 Ivy Bridge-E processors is available for pre-order at select sites.
Based on the Intel X79 Express chipset, the Rampage IV Black Edition includes all of the best ROG technologies and innovations for unrivaled gaming and
overclocking performance. With its four PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots, two PCI-E 2.0 x1 slots and eight DIMM slots supporting up to 64 GB of overclocked DDR3 DRAM, the
Rampage IV Black Edition has near limitless expansion possibilities, including support for both 4-way NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX.
Every Rampage IV Black Edition includes a free copy of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, allowing gamers to take advantage of premium ROG hardware and
software features right out of the box.
Born to push limits and break records
ASUS designed the Rampage IV Black Edition for those who demand the ultimate feature set. It includes the OC Panel, a real-time system-monitoring and tuning
console that is great for gamers and a huge advantage for overclockers. It can be mounted internally for everyday monitoring of temperatures, base clock and
fan speeds while also offering one-click CPU Level Up for an instant speed boost. Externally, it can be used to monitor and control multiple parameters in
real-time via onboard buttons. Extreme overclocking has never been easier.
Prior to becoming widely available, world-class overclockers have already demonstrated the Rampage IV Black Edition's record-breaking capabilities as it
currently holds chart-topping scores in top benchmarks and numerous other world records on the X79 platform.
Built for the most demanding games and gamers
In order to be able to push the limits, ROG engineers combined thoughtful design with superior quality components.
The Rampage IV Black Edition's Extreme Engine DIGI+ III voltage-regulator module (VRM) provides highly precise and stable power delivery by employing NexFET
MOSFETs, 60A (amp) chokes and high-endurance Japanese-made 10K black metallic capacitors. The motherboard's black-themed heat-sink is exclusively and
cleverly integrated with the MOSFET area to extend to the input/output (I/O) cover for even better cooling and stability.
Built-in SupremeFX Black technology provides sound quality that is on par with high-end dedicated sound cards. Premium components such as ELNA audio
capacitors and German-made WIMA film capacitors deliver impeccable clarity, while high-fidelity op-amps (operational amplifiers) and a Cirrus Logic CS4398
DAC (digital/analog converter) deliver lossless audio and a brilliant 120dB SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).
ROG's Sonic Radar on-screen overlay provides fans of first-person shooter (FPS) games with an ear to the ground, as it displays the precise direction and
origin of in-game sounds such as gunshots, footsteps and call-outs - giving ROG gamers a leg-up when trying to pinpoint the enemy.
Ultra-fast Intel Gigabit Ethernet with ROG's GameFirst II utility optimizes network traffic to keep latency to a minimum and reduce all-important ping times.
The ROG RAMDisk utility allows up to 80% of a computer's available RAM to be used as a high-speed virtual drive - lending a strong performance boost to many
modern games that regularly read or write data during gameplay.
AVAILABILITY
The Rampage IV Black Edition is currently available for pre-order at Newegg.com for US Customers and Canada Computers, Memory Express and NCIX for Canadian
customers. General availability is scheduled the week of November 18, 2013.
