The ROG Rampage – reimagined. ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore EATX motherboard delivers extreme, dominating performance
Modern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. Our latest VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.
We became the first manufacturer to implement phase doublers when we shipped the A8N32-SLI Deluxe back in 2005. The board’s VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power handling capabilities of components that were available at the time and also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits lead to phase doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry, and they are still used for similar purposes today.
While doublers help extend the number of effective phases, they do so at the cost of a processing delay.
However, the current crop of CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors, and the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. As an added bonus, they also consume less power at idle and can transition between loads states much more quickly. These improvements necessitate a re-evaluation of power design priorities because phase doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response.
The teamed architecture allows two power stages to work in
tandem to provide more power to the CPU.
**Mouseover to
press play and compare**
Fortunately, the latest Integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn’t hamstrung by the processing lag of phase doublers. That’s why our X299 motherboards utilize teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs.

Teamed Solution
Phase-Doubled Solution
Pitting the teamed VRM against a phase-doubled solution results in near identical thermal performance.
The MOSFETs within the power stages generate the most heat as
they are responsible for voltage conversion and delivery to the
CPU from the 12V EPS connector.
**Mouseover to press
play and compare**
Each VRM component serves a specific purpose. PWM controllers and doublers control the circuit, and the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical and thermal standpoint. That’s why the Encore utilizes 16 Infineon TDA21472 power stages. The TDA21472 sits at the top of Infineon’s lineup and features a low RDSON to reduce switching and conduction losses, helping to improve overall thermal headroom.
Dual 8-pin ProCool II

Two ProCool connectors ensure a snug and
reliable connection to the EPS 12V power

To further optimize transient
response, we’ve added 8 SP-capacitors to the power
plane. The resulting bulk capacitance results in a 13.8%
shallower AC-DC load-line setting compared Rampage VI
Omega.
OptiMem III is a major milestone in our pursuit to create motherboards that offer the most memory overclocking headroom. When applied to the X299 platform, OptiMem III increases frequency margin to the point that the board is no longer a bottleneck. Pair the Extreme Encore with a capable chip and memory kit and achieve frequencies up to DDR4-4266MHz in a 4 or 8-DIMM configuration.
Effective cooling is extremely important for processing beasts that feature up to 18 cores. ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore is fully armed with multiple heatsinks and a backplate to provide the best foundation for extreme PC systems, enabling higher performance at lower temperatures.

Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling. And all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.
Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
One header is dedicated fully to the onboard heatsink fan.
Bundled card Includes six additional DC or PWM fan headers, plus three thermal-probe headers.
Dual water-temperature headers and a flow-rate header feed information straight into the AI Suite utility, allowing you to track coolant temperatures and the flow rate of the entire loop.
A dedicated header can supply over 3 amps to high-performance PWM or DC water pumps.
A dedicated header enables monitoring of temperatures at the input/output points of any component.
A dedicated header enables constant monitoring of flow rate throughout the entire loop.
A special connector enables specially designed water blocks to provide flow, temperature and leakage data.
ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore includes the new Fan Extension Card II, which adds six headers that are controllable via FanXpert 4. The card features three temperature-sensor headers to complement the one available onboard, and also comes with three thermistors that can be affixed to different components. In addition to supplying extra headers for cooling, it provides three RGB headers to provide illuminated effects for your RGB fan.
