ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition: The Ultimate LGA2011 Motherboard

No problems noted. I've been running it since day of release and have been able to get 4x8GB sticks 2165MHz (1.65v is stock) on tighter timings, nothing amazing to write home about but its stable with an average 4930K @4.66GHz.

I'm not a RAM timings guy but found it hard to work with double the amount you lads do whilst trying to push the CPU for the odd benchmarks as it would crash part way beyond 4.74GHz 1.4v. Again probably down to the chip being average and having to push 4x8GB sticks.

TL-DR

EK Water Blocks is proud to introduce company's second complete all-in-one (CPU and motherboard) liquid cooling solution,
this time for ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition, a X79 Express based 4th generation Intel Core i7 LGA-2011 socket motherboard.

EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock water block is a complete all-in-one (CPU and motherboard)
liquid cooling solution for Intel LGA-2011 socket Ivy Bridge-E CPU and ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard

I don't know why more companies don't go for the all black look on their motherboards. Every build with the RIV BE that's remotely colour co-ordinated looks fantastic. It's definitely my personal favourite build (so it should be at its price tag!)

Look forward to seeing some builds with the blocks above.
 
Not in stock directly which probably means resellers have an even longer wait than normal. From the installation instructions it requires the alternative 2011 LGA backplate (provided with mobo) to be installed for this block versus the standard block with the R4BE using a typical EK block.

If this came out back in November I may have bought that monoblock instead for a tidier loop and less expense of CPU block, MOSFET+Chipset block, plus the extra fittings, extensions, and tubing.

Perhaps this is more of a benefit to acrylic 3/8 loops with less flow than typical 5/8-1/2 loops? From the images it appears 19/13 fittings would not cause issues with it being well spaced out versus standard blocks. Normally larger fittings require adaptors or angled extensions.

I can see this would work very well for system sellers such as OcUK, with less man hours for installation and testing and overall costs a little less.
