ASUS unleashes ROG Rampage II Extreme

ASUS has launched what it claims to be the highest performing motherboard so far. ASUS ROG Rampage II Extreme uses the Intel X58 chipset and as we previously revealed, ASUS hasn't held back at any point with this board. It offers a lot of unique features like TweakIT and ASUS ProbeIT, while the number of power phases are so many it becomes hard to keep track of them all. By announcing its flagship product for Core i7 today already, ASUS shows us that the only thing you need to start benching is the actual processor.To enable users to push the capabilities of the new platform to the limit, the ROG Rampage II Extreme features ROG Extreme Engine, a true multi-phase power management system—16 phases for the CPU and 3 phases each for QPI/DRAM, the Northbridge and memory—with premium Multilayer type Polymer Capacitors (ML Caps) that keep the power supply stable even under the most demanding loads.
