Not every innovation can be seen or interacted with; in fact, a lot of the work still goes into the very foundation of motherboard design. While you maybe just now buying and building your latest upgrade with Intel Z77 motherboard as its backbone, ASUS engineers have been testing designs to improve performance and overclocking this time last year. One such enhancement is ASUS’ new T-Topology memory layout, which is a significant change to the fundamental DDR3 layout design.

Hello! A couple of days back we featured an exceptionally beastly watercooled QuadFire HD 7970 Rampage IV Extreme PC and now we are back on the look out for any awesome watercooling set-up using ROG products… and we found another one!
