Asus rampage III Extreme
- Thread starter Schoieuk
- Start date
I hope your right Helios1234, I am abit miffed at the moment been waiting along time for the board to hit the stores only to find my ram might not be supported. I've got 6Gb OCZ Gold 'OCZ3G2000LV6GK' the closest ram on the list is OCZ3B2000LV6GK. So I was really hoping these sticks were just a rename of mine, as I can't afford another set of sticks, times are hard.

I agree with you. I'm running the "Corsair Dominator GT 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C8 2000MHz Triple Channel Kit" on an Asus P6X58D it runs ok. The memory is not the P6X board's qualified memory vendor list either and that list looks like the source for the Rampage III list. I'm sure it will run on the III (famous last words
).

Why's that pathetic? People complain when you have to use the two adjacent slots because of heat, so this is ideal surely?
Do you have an actual ETA?
I think if they did they would have put it up by now, who wants to bet it's now 2nd week of may?
EDIT: a lot of other retailers are putting it back to 10/11 may now, starting to take the ****.

Hmm that's terrible. ASUS have had the board ready for a while really. I wonder why it's been so delayed.

Nothing would surprise me and I'm beginning to question whether I should bother.
I can't be bothered any more tbh, by the time they get the thing out the MSI XPower and the Gigi UD9 will be out.
And hopefully the alternatives will both be cheaper as well !!!
I'm getting pretty annoyed with ASUS at this stage. I have been talking to -VK- about this through e-mail and he stated that the volcano did cause some issues relating to distribution of their products - which I can understand.
However, the disruption only lasted a few days and I'm struggling to understand how this translates to a 4 week + delay. After waiting 6 months to see what NVIDIA brought to the table with Fermi, I'm fed up waiting for products anymore. I have £1.6K of components ready here for my new build and there's absolutely nothing I can do without a motherboard.

i feel your pain rpg am the same bout that much 1.6k pounds worth of components just sitting in my room waiting for this stupid motherboard. for the first time i regret ordering this >.> all the issue with the ram the airflow fan the headers, i really hope asus just releases it in the first week of may
Same situation as the above, have every component for my new PC apart from this flippin mobo, by the time ASUS release it, it will be out of date!
I started building this stupid rig about 7 months ago! It's just been wait after wait and it's getting very frustrating.
I remember at Cebit when ASUS stated they would release the board late March. Hmmm.... over a month later and still no sign of it? A couple days of ash in the clouds and a manufacture problem with a heatsink doesn't cause that much of delay, not to mention the fact they haven't even given retailers a proper ETA, I bet consumers aren't the only ones frustrated.

Yes but Im using water cooling and a lot of people who will buy this 'Extreme' board will be water cooling too so the spacing is not required. I don't understand why they didn't make it like any other board, where you can plug your cards in to either of the slots and they are 16x. Or you use 3 slots for 16x 8x 8x
