UEFI installation is primarily needed for two things. The first is getting TRIM to work under RAID using the original, unmodified ASUS UEFI BIOS (i.e. without a patched OROM) as BIOS version 3404 on the Rampage IV series has the Intel UEFI driver. The second reason is speeding up Windows boot as only with a UEFI installation you can completely disable CSM (compatibility support module).
Here we detail exactly how to setup your Rampage IV motherboard a new install of Windows 7 or 8 OS in UEFI mode.

“..But can it play Crysis?”
The original Crysis was a graphical milestone. We take a look at Crysis 3 and compare it graphically with the original game running in DirectX10 to see what has changed over the years.
Where high-performance CPUs have dropped in power consumption, graphics cards mostly have shown the opposite trend. Their size makes it difficult to find cases to accommodate them. While Nvidia’s GTX 670 tries to buck the trend with a small 6.75″ (~17cm) PCB, it’s always fitted with a far larger cooler. ASUS has instead matched the cooler to its 17cm PCB length, which is ideal for the smallest gaming builds. Here’s a first look at ASUS’ new GTX 670 DirectCU Mini.
