00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.240
gentlemen start your

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:33.960
engine right so today we have the Rampage 2 extreme motherboard from ASUS

00:00:31.759 --> 00:00:38.879
and the features of this board as outlined by the back of the box are

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

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.879
triple Channel yeah whatever if you wanted to look up the specs you could

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:52.079
look online so basically we're going to talk a little bit about the slot layout

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:57.519
basically one of this board has one of the best regarded slot layouts out of

00:00:54.680 --> 00:01:01.519
all the x58 boards you can put in one two

00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:10.439
and just to prove that I can count

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:12.880
three video cards a tri video card

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:17.720
configuration it supports both Tri SLI and tri Crossfire and you still will

00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:23.960
have one PCI Express slot way up at the top for the onboard Supreme

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

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.439
you are unsmart like me and you've managed to plug in three different video

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.439
cards and a sound

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:40.360
card included with the Rampage 2 extreme is the The Usual Suspects as far as

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:44.159
accessories goes cables adapters all that kind of stuff but it does come with

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:49.439
some cool stuff there's the LCD poster which will basically tell you on an LCD

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:54.439
if the system posted or not and why these are really cool these are probit

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:58.439
is what it ASUS is calling it but essentially it hooks up to any one of

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:02.520
these contacts on the side of the board and you can use your digital multim to

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:06.320
find out the exact voltages being fed to components these are some temp probes

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

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

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:18.120
two that are further apart that means that you can decide whether you want an

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

00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:27.760
new supreme effects xfi Edition it seems like they'll put an xfi logo on pretty

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:32.920
much anything these days and your IO panel and that's about all for

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:32.920
interesting access series
