built to BREAK LIMITS
WORLD RECORDS SMASHED
Rampage VI Apex is built to break world records — and it’s already done just that. With its optimized layout, high-quality components, and its ability to withstand the rigors of sub-zero operation with liquid-nitrogen (LN2) and helium (LHe), Apex has already smashed seven world records and scored 16 global first-places.* These include the highest CPU frequency for Intel Core i7 at 7.562GHz with four cores and eight threads — that’s a staggering 75.87% overclock of the chip‘s default 4.3GHz frequency!
* World records and global first-place positions were verified on 27 July 2017, and are recorded at HWBOT.org.![](https://dlcdnimgs.asus.com/websites/global/products/ZiZmcsHioLQEkQuB/img/limits/limits.png)

Overclocker's Toolkit
HARDWARE-LEVEL CONTROLS
Rampage VI Apex includes an overclocker's toolkit with hardware-level controls to aid your overclocking experience. The motherboard's Dual BIOS allows you to experiment with different firmware versions and provides a path for recovery in case one becomes corrupt, and the onboard switch allows you to easily change between the first and second BIOS. The overclocker's toolkit also includes a Pause switch to halt the system, and four PCIe switches for quick slot toggling. Other tools include Safe Boot and ReTry buttons, an LN2 jumper to aid POST at sub-zero temperatures, and a Slow mode switch. Combined, they're quick and easy time-savers designed to help you break more records.

Optimized Trace Layout
It’s the combination of intricate and innovative engineering that makes Rampage VI Apex such a big performer. Allotting just one DIMM slot per channel allowed our engineers to create shorter trace distances, which in turn means tighter control over impedance and reduced possibility for signal interference. We also adopted an engineering-first strategy, paring back the number of integrated circuits to enable the best possible trace routing. The end result is a motherboard with better stability and more overclocking headroom, allowing you to get the best performance from your memory kit.
![](https://dlcdnimgs.asus.com/websites/global/products/ZiZmcsHioLQEkQuB/img/limits/trace.jpg)
DDR4 OVERCLOCKING STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
ROG engineers adopted a four-slot memory design on an EATX motherboard, enabling a highly optimized layout for memory trace paths to minimize noise and improve signal integrity. Rampage VI Apex allows for DDR4 overclocking to reach up to 4500+MHz in dual channel mode, and 4133MHz+ with 4 DIMMs in quad-channel mode. ROG also works with all the major DDR4 memory vendors to ensure the best compatibility and real-word performance.
