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 efficient 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 PCI Express

®

3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the latest PCI Express bus standard with improved

encoding schemes that provide twice the performance of the current PCIe 2.0. The total

bandwidth for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32GB/s, double the convenience and

seamless transition offered by a complete backward compatibility with PCIe 1.0 and PCIe

2.0 devices. PCIe 3.0 will become a must-have feature for users who wish to improve and

optimize graphic performance, as well as having the latest technology available to them.

*Actual PCIe speed depends on installed CPU type.

SLI/CrossFire On-Demand

Why choose when you can have both?

SLI or CrossFireX? Fret no longer because with the ROG RAMPAGE IV GENE, you'll be able

to run both multi-GPU setups. The board features SLI/CrossFireX on Demand technology,

supporting up to Quad GPU SLI or Quad-GPU CrossFireX configuration. Whichever path you

take, you can be assured of jaw-dropping graphics at a level previously unseen.
