UEFI installation is primarily needed for two things. The first is getting TRIM to work under RAID using the original, unmodified ASUS UEFI BIOS (i.e. without a patched OROM) as BIOS version 3404 on the Rampage IV series has the Intel UEFI driver. The second reason is speeding up Windows boot as only with a UEFI installation you can completely disable CSM (compatibility support module). Here we detail exactly how to setup your Rampage IV motherboard a new install of Windows 7 or 8 OS in UEFI mode.

Arniebomba's work on this awesome standing bench table, proves that visually simple mods can still be fantastic.

If you're using a Rampage IV or Maximus V motherboard (or any X79 or Z77 for that matter) along with RAID0 SSDs, you can now get TRIM support by upgrading to the 11.x (currently 11.2) Intel RST drivers. Anandtech tested the latest driver in a recent article. If you're unsure what TRIM is and why you need it, Anandtech covers that too in the 'Why does TRIM matter?' section.

It would be an understatement to say everyone here at ROG is delighted (and surprised) to receive the honor of Anandtech's Editors Choice Gold Award. Thank you, Anandtech for your kind words and recognition.

SupremeFX has been a staple addition to Republic of Gamers motherboards ever since the very first Crosshair. Its design is focused on improving sound quality beyond the standard that most motherboards included, by putting the audio onto a separate sound card that plugged into a PCIe x1 slot. Isolating the analogue sounds in this way helped improve audio quality. In the intervening 5 years, SupremeFX has evolved into its third revision. First added to the Rampage IV Series late last year, it's now following onto the Maximus V GENE as well.
