00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,240
gentlemen start your

2
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:33,960
engine right so today we have the Rampage 2 extreme motherboard from ASUS

3
00:00:31,759 --> 00:00:38,879
and the features of this board as outlined by the back of the box are

4
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:45,200
support for Intel's new nalum core i7 CPUs up to 12 GB of DDR3 memory and

5
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,879
triple Channel yeah whatever if you wanted to look up the specs you could

6
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,079
look online so basically we're going to talk a little bit about the slot layout

7
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:57,519
basically one of this board has one of the best regarded slot layouts out of

8
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,519
all the x58 boards you can put in one two

9
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:10,439
and just to prove that I can count

10
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,880
three video cards a tri video card

11
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:17,720
configuration it supports both Tri SLI and tri Crossfire and you still will

12
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:23,960
have one PCI Express slot way up at the top for the onboard Supreme

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
FX sound there you go that's what the back of your system will look like if

14
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:32,439
you are unsmart like me and you've managed to plug in three different video

15
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,439
cards and a sound

16
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,360
card included with the Rampage 2 extreme is the The Usual Suspects as far as

17
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:44,159
accessories goes cables adapters all that kind of stuff but it does come with

18
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:49,439
some cool stuff there's the LCD poster which will basically tell you on an LCD

19
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:54,439
if the system posted or not and why these are really cool these are probit

20
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,439
is what it ASUS is calling it but essentially it hooks up to any one of

21
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,520
these contacts on the side of the board and you can use your digital multim to

22
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,320
find out the exact voltages being fed to components these are some temp probes

23
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,239
and then this is kind of cool you've got a flexible SLI Bridge so that means that

24
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:14,319
you can either use the two slots that are closer to each other for SLI or the

25
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,120
two that are further apart that means that you can decide whether you want an

26
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,920
extra PCI Express or an extra PCI slot as your extra and then there's also the

27
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:27,760
new supreme effects xfi Edition it seems like they'll put an xfi logo on pretty

28
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:32,920
much anything these days and your IO panel and that's about all for

29
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,920
interesting access series
