PR: ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Crossblade Ranger

Aug 07, 2014 Written by:ROG Article

ROG's first FM2+ motherboard is due in stores near you any day now! The Crossblade includes ROG hardware like Intel Gigabit Ethernet, GameFirst III, LANGuard, SupremeFX 2014, Sonic SenseAmp and KeyBot, in addition to the Sonic software sound suite (say that fast!) featured with the recent Maximus VII series. The combination of gigabit Ethernet technologies from Intel and ROG gives it the best networking of any FM2+ board! 

Up to 3-way CrossFire is supported (8x 8x 4x), although it optimial supports 2-way via the red PCI-E 3.0 lanes (8x 8x) when FM2+ APUs are used. The eight SATA III ports can be combined together in RAID for large and fast storage arrays, and the DDR3 memory OC can be pushed up to and beyond 2,666MHz - great for APUs!

See the full detail in the PR after the gallery below.
