ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition: The Ultimate LGA2011 Motherboard

[pgi947]

Well Asus sent us a truck load of rampages today... that we didnt order :/

No blacks yet

Deny all knowledge of their arrival and dish them out to loyal forum members?

Youd think with all the anticipation of this board they would have dates more set in stone pgi I thought you had the old rampage aswell as your haswell?

Still way over priced as the new black will be out soon

 

[Cosimo]

hmm ok, so if the Black is vapourware, what's the 'next best board'? The EVGA one is looking more tempting again.

It's not, just be patient.

Stupidly good discounts on the Rampages then?

Tbh, I might just grab a Sabertooth for my possible X79 build as it seems a solid board...

 

[Cosimo]

It is real....

Apparently arrived in Singapore today.

Anandtech reporting that it will be launched on 18/11.

MMMM looks nice, this may be going in my new build

 

[Bluelion]

10 days... I can just about wait 10 days...

 

[Gazb]

Am I right in thinking there could be a couple of Rampage IV Extreme's going up for sale on here when this finally arrives?

 

[scotsdragon]

ofc there will and then it will be the infamous ONE DAY Only deals so Gibbo can offload that truck load of un ordered rampages lol

 

[Mint8]

There is still no confirmed ETA but seeing as the Rampage IV Black Edition includes a free copy of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and that is being released on 22nd in the UK you can hazard a guess on when it will arrive.

There is a code for download in the box - so highly doubt this would delay the board - you just cant use the code till the 22nd.

Andrew sick gibbo on them and see if he can get them to get heir finger out and give us a definitive date lol

Can you please let us know when you have an updated ETA?

Does anyone know how many of the SATAIII ports are on the intel chipset?

Also looking at it, doesn't look I'll fit a soundcard in there with quad titans, which is a shame.

I think the AE11 x79 is still going to be the x79 daddy in all honesty.

Intel - 2 x Sata III and 4 x Sata II
ASMedia - 4 x Sata III

On board audio looks good, see the spec in post #127

Straight from the horses mouth;

22nd November is still a possibility, depending on how anal the distributors or retailers are about releasing a copy of Assassin's Creed 4 early. Meh, I just got my Sabertooth so I'm on the fence as to whether the board is worth the investment.
