The editors didn't like
Price!
3-way GPU will clear out all other slots
2-way will leave one PCI-E 16x free
Would expect to see more USB and S-ATA on an expensive motherboard
$400 price (Unless you take advantage of overclocking
This is not worth it).
Other then nit picking about the upper PCIE x1 not a thing.
Its hard to really come to one single conclusion about the ASUS Rampage II Extreme motherboard. It is without a doubt the most impressive consumer motherboard I have ever tested in terms of sheer performance, features and overclockability. The high...
The ASUS Rampage II Extreme will likely be over-priced or under-valued by many. If read over the feature lists and discussion and did not have a specific feature jump out and grab you as must-have, then this is likely not the motherboard for you. Howev...
Abstract: It's been a good few months since we reviewed the Asus Rampage Formula so it seems just about the right time for Asus to bring out a new motherboard called the Rampage II Extreme. However the similarity in model codes is rather deceptive. The original Ra...
Abstract: Core i7 (Nehalem) is almost upon us, and I can't remember a time in the recent past where a product release has drawn so much excitement and hype before its release. Sure Conroe made a very large splash when it arrived, as it gave enthusiasts a reaso...

More SATA & USB ports would be welcome, Why do we need a PCI Expansion Bracket? Those ports should be on the rear I/O panel, Expansion slots endangered by multiGPU setups, IOH cooler lacks a little pizazz.
When the first images of the prototype Rampage II Extreme started appearing a few months ago, it was clear then that ASUS was creating an enthusiast product that would be the benchmark for all X58 motherboards. Outfitted with a laundry-list of features...
With X58 now the hot topic, we are starting to see boards come in thick and fast and it’s of no surprise that the boards making their way out are enthusiast classed boards. So far Intel has only got three models on the market; two are standard versi...
Abstract: Reviewing the Rampage II Extreme in our lab is a little like trying to study the habits of wild animals when theyre in a cage. This motherboard would undoubtedly be most at home on a bench, with an LN2 pot bolted on and surrounded by mad scientists. I...
The Rampage II Extreme comes with everything a performance-, overclocking- or technology-fanatic could possibly dream of. Performance and overclockability are on a very high level. The board also comes with highest class components and a perfect layout...
