ASUS Rampage II Extreme X58 Motherboard Review - Ultimate Enthusiast Platform

[news 28]

ASUS follows up its P6T Deluxe motherboard with the amazing Rampage II

Extreme. If you want to see what the epitome of enthusiast platforms looks

like then you need to see this offering that includes X-Fi audio, dual BIOS

chips and an on-board location for multimeter-based voltage monitoring.

Really.

Quote: "The eight leads provided below the buttons are even more impressive

as they allow for an easy place for users to monitor system voltages using

an external digital multimeter device. Serious overclockers know that

monitoring voltages via the BIOS and any on-board monitoring logic doesn't

give them as much control as using a reliable multimeter so ASUS has put all

the necessary leads doing this in on easy to access location. No longer

would a user have to hunt down and find solder points on the back of the

board or even on the top - it's all easily addressed here. ASUS even offers

both a standard solder point (the silver dots located above the words

"DRAM", "ICH_PCIE", etc) and a pair of cables that allow you to attach the

multimeter positive and negative pins for a more hands-free monitoring

solution."

 

Thanks for a post!
