The Rampage III Extreme Motherboard from ASUS is an ATX computer motherboard that supports Intel Socket 1366 it CPUs. It supports up to 24GB of DDR3 memory and has two SATA 6Gbps slots, as well as six SATA 3Gbps slots. The motherboard is powered by the Intel X58 / ICH10R chipset. Four PCIe x16 slots support multi-GPU architectures, while eleven USB ports, including two USB 3.0 ports, provide extensive connectivity. Eight-channel audio and S/PDIF connectors round out the I/O options, while extensive overclocking tools and features give you precise control over the motherboard's behavior.This motherboard supports the latest Intel Core i7 processors in LGA1366 package with integrated memory controller to support 3-channel (6 DIMMs) DDR3 memory. Supports Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) with a system bus of up to 6.4GT/s and a max bandwidth of up to 25.6GB/s.

The Intel X58 Express Chipset is one of the most powerful chipset designed to support the Intel Core i7 Processors with LGA1366 package and Intel next generation system interconnect interface, Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), providing improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability. It also supports up to 36 PCI Express 2.0 lanes providing better graphics performance. This motherboard supports the PCIe 2.0 devices for double speed and bandwidth which enhances system performance. SLI or CrossFireX? Fret no longer because with the ROG Rampage III Extreme, you'll be able to run both multi-GPU setups. The board features SLI/CrossFire on Demand technology, supporting up to four graphics cards in a 3-Way SLI or CrossFireX configuration. Whichever path you take, you can be assured of jaw-dropping graphics at a level previously unseen. The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 2000(O.C.) / 1800(O.C.) / 1600(O.C.) / 1333 / 1066MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operation system, 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The Triple-channel DDR3 architecture double the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance Experience ultra-fast data transfers at 4.8Gbps with USB 3.0. Built to connect easily with next generation components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data 10X faster and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 components. Supporting next-generation Serial ATA (SATA) storage interface, this motherboard delivers up to 6Gbps data transfer rates. Additionally, get enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems.
