LGA2011 Intel
®
Sandy Bridge-E Processor
This motherboard supports the latest Intel
®
Sandy Bridge-E processors in the LGA2011
package, with memory and PCI Express controllers integrated to support 4-channel (4 DIMM)
DDR3 memory and x16 PCI Express 3.0 lanes. This provides great graphics performance.
Intel
®
Sandy Bridge-E processors are among the most powerful and energy efcient CPUs in
the world.
Intel
®
X79 Express Chipset
The Intel
®
X79 Express Chipset is the latest single-chipset design that supports the new
socket 2011 Intel
®
Core™ i7 Extreme Edition processors. It improves performance by utilizing
serial point-to-point links, allowing for increased bandwidth and stability. Additionally, the
X79 comes with 2 SATA 6Gb/s and 4 SATA 3Gb/s ports for faster data retrieval, doubling the
bandwidth of current bus systems.
PCIe 3.0 Ready
The latest PCI Express bus standard delivers improved encoding for twice the performance
of current PCIe 2.0. Total bandwidth for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32GB/s, double
the 16GB/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). PCIe 3.0 provides users unprecedented data speeds,
combined with the convenience and seamless transition offered by complete backward
compatibility with PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices It is a must-have feature PC users aiming
to improve and optimize graphics performance, as well as have the latest, most future-proof
technology.
* This motherboard is ready to support PCIe 3.0 SPEC. Functions will be available when using PCIe 3.0-compliant
devices. Please refer to www.asus.com for updated details.
SLI/CrossFire On-Demand
Why choose when you can have both?
SLI or CrossFireX? Fret no longer because with the ROG RAMPAGE IV FORMULA, you'll
be able to run both multi-GPU setups. The board features SLI/CrossFireX on Demand
technology, supporting SLI or CrossFireX conguration. Whichever path you take, you can be
assured of jaw-dropping graphics at a level previously unseen.
Quad-Channel DDR3 2400(O.C.) support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 2400(O.C.)/
2200(O.C.)/ 2133(O.C.)/ 2000(O.C.)/ 1800(O.C.)/ 1600/ 1333/ 1066 MHz to meet the higher
bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The
quad-channel DDR3 architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your system memory to boost
system performance.
