Pictorial Guide: ROG Rampage V Edition 10
The new ROG Rampage V Edition 10 is the culmination of experience over a decade, and the latest technology to harness for the first time power from 10-core, 40-lane processors and graphics cards in 4-way SLI. Never have you had this much power (check out our new overclocking/world records page) and never has a motherboard looked this good (we think so anyway)! Take a look from every angle and every corner.
What's in the box
ROG labels and stickers (left) for your fans and cables, ROG coasters (middle), installation guide and documentation (right).
3T3R dual band Wi-Fi antenna (802.11a/b/g/n/ac), premium I/O frame and Q-connector for easy installtion of chassis LEDs and switches.
SupremeFX Hi-Fi front panel comprises of an ESS ES9018K2M Sabre DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter), two LM4562 OP amps, a TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier, a Cirrus Logic CS5361 ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), and five RC4580 OP amps.
By using the Fan Extension Card with 5-pin to 5-pin cable and three thermistor cables, you can have up to ten chassis fans and thermal sensor sources. The card can be secured into 5.25" bays using the supplied screw pack.
Ten SATA cable, 2-way, 3-way and yes 4-way SLI bridges are included.

ROG Rampage V Edition 10
Fortifying backplate with AURA RGB lighting built-in and 10th Anniversary logo (perhaps it'll be worth more than what it is now one day... )
OC Socket for unbeatable overclocking of the latest Intel Broadwell-E processors (LGA 2011-V3). Eight DIMMs for a maximum of only 128GB of DDR4 memory.
A plethora of advanced overclocking and diagnostic features such as DIMM Switches, PCIe X16 Lane Switches, Safe Boot, MemOK! and ReTry.
Supports U.2, M.2 (2260/2280/22110), and up to ten SATA III drives!
If you are already a proud owner of a OC Panel or OC Panel II, Rampage V Edition 10 will support them and here is a handy guide to get you started. You can connect to it by a cable going to ROG_EXT. You can connect all your chassis connectors for switches and LEDs to the Q-Connector first before plugging onto the motherboard in one shot.

Connect the supplied Fan Extension Card to EXT_FAN (pictured left). The Water Pump header and High AMP Fan headers (pictured middle) are onboard. And there are fan headers spread out and placed strategically to help minimize visible cables for a perfect build, as well as temperature sensor headers. The SLI/CFX switch helps by indicating which PCIe slots to place your graphics cards by Aura RGB lighting, this is for the configuration for 2-way and 3-way setups.
Connect to more RGB strips inside or outside of your case to sync with the AURA effects on the motherboard and graphics card(s)!
The Pre-mounted I/O Shield not only makes PC DIY easier, you no longer need to be concerned about the clearance for plugs, the gap between the I/O plate and the motherboard is greatly reduced, it is always perfectly aligned and simply looks great!
Peek under the armor
All the areas where you will see Aura RGB lighting (plus the PCIe slot lever - Q-Slot).
Extreme Engine DIGI+ VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules) - 8 phase for the processor (right) and 2+2 phase for the memory (left).
To compliment DIGI+, you get stabiltiy from the 10K Black Metallic Capacitors, MicroFine Alloy Chokes, and PowlRstage MOSFETs.
Aura RGB lighting and heatsink also found on the back of the motherboard!
PCH
SupremeFX
I/O Shield and WiFi/Bluetooth module for up to 1300Mbps transfer rate through WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0.
ROG custom controllers - embedded chips to serve as the conduit between the harware and the BIOS to bring you proprietary functions such as Fan Xpert 4.
