Rampage IV Extreme Unboxing Pics – Accessories And More!

As the holidays continue to approach, you may be craving a new motherboard and they don’t get much more cravesome than the new X79-based ROG Rampage IV Extreme gaming and overclocking board. This beast is loaded to the brim with features that only a gamer could truly love and appreciate – well, a gamer and of course also an ardent overclocker.

We take a look at the contents of the box so you know what to expect, with most pics by our own Richard. Don’t deny yourself, you know you want one…

Overall look at the classy box, with the motherboard showing and the flap highlighting many of the major features: OC Key and OSD TweakIt on-screen overclocking, overvolting, and tuning free of system resources, VGA Hotwire direct GPU voltage reading and tuning kit, Subzero Sense liquid cooling temp detection, and of course the versatile X-Socket for all your LGA 1366 coolers.

Plenty of SATA cables for all your 6Gb/s needs.

2-way, 3-way, and 4-way SLI bridges, and a CrossFireX bridge.
