Damn the shops here only gets extra stock at end of december.Could only get a gene.

I will heil anyone who run this board with 1GB of RAM,a Xeon e5-2637v1(dual core),and a GeForce 6800GT.

This is a premium board?I have actually planned to get it for a low end server.However they were snatched from the store too fast for me to abuse one of them.

ASUS' Rampage IV Extreme Black Edition is the kind of product that if you already know you need it, you still don't need it... No one needs it.

 

That won't prevent anyone from WANTing it.... :P

 

I think you forgot to mention Mem OK button, but camera got great shot of it. Only suggestion of mine would be to take some time to show some features of this bored and what it can do compared to the others in another video. I know it would take alot of time, and you guys are always crammed with stuff, but it would be nice to see. Other than that great review. Haven't seen or heard too much about this motherboard so can't say if you missed any big points of it yet. Always here to try to help!

My opinion of it.. Pricing is too high first of all.. Maybe if it lowered a bit.. And not full 128gig RAM support? For that price point? Wonder why.. 

I feel like I need this... But I already have a MSi Big Bang Xpower II.... But I need this! D:

I might just win a lottery.. or like.. Get rich, Both sound good... Would you recommend this over other boards around the same price for what this does?

I will keep the RIVE and the 3930K and build a watercooled beast with the Black Edition and a 4930K in a 750D.

I'm aiming for at least 2 R9 290's. I'm not gonna buy everything new, I found a cheap demo ax1200 and I'm keeping an eye on some demo stuff.

That's the plan for 2014 anyway.

This is why I like unboxings! That board is less expensive than I thought it would be.

I thougth it had 12 Sata ports? (8 Sata 3 and 4 Sata 2)

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

I want to see comparision of most x79 boards. Noone ever did benchmarks to see which ones are the best and how bad others perform. How bad are really gigabyte (x79 ud3,ud5,ud7,up4,up5, G1.Assassin 2) boards? What's the performance of Asus Rampage IV Gene and Formula? How well perform MSI (Big Bang-XPower II, X79A-GD65 (8D), X79A-GD45 Plus, X79MA-GD45) boards compared to others? How good are Asrock x79 boards? What about EVGA x79 Dark, is it bad as the old x79 based boards made by EVGA? Everyone will say "Yeah RIVE is the best", well i believe that it is overpacked with features that most users never use, it is good for LN2 overclockers, and graphics cards overclockers because it can carry far high loads than normal board. Also price comparision with all recent boards. Since Ivy-Bridge based CPUs release there's need of a fresh comparision of all x79 boards because of the growing interess for them.

 

p.s. I do not believe that Gigabyte boards are bad at all.

Hey, pricing isn't that bad. Only $499. All I have to do is sell a kidney of mine.
