2008-11-27
you right so today we have the rampage - extreme motherboard from Essos and the features of this board as outlined by the back of the box our support for Intel's new Nehalem core i7 CPUs up to 12 gigabytes of ddr3 memory and triple-channel yeah whatever if you wanted to look up the specs you could look online so basically we're going to talk a little bit about the slot layout basically one of this board has one of the best regarded slot layouts out of all the x58 boards you can put in one two and just to prove that I can count three video cards a try video card configuration it supports both tri sli and tri crossfire and you still will have one PCI Express slot way up at the top for the onboard supreme FX sound there you go that's what the back of your system will look like if you are unlike me and you've managed to plug in three different video cards in a sound card included with the rampage 2 extreme is the the usual suspects as far as accessories goes cables adapters all that kind of stuff but it does come with some cool stuff there's the LCD poster which will basically tell you on an LCD if the system posted or not and why these are really cool these are probe it is what it as soos is calling it but essentially it hooks up to any one of these contacts on the side of the board and you can use your digital multimeter to find out the exact voltage is being fed to components these are some temp probes and then this is kind of cool you've got a flexible SLI bridge so that means that you can either use the two slots that are closer to each other for SLI or the two that are further apart that means that you can decide whether you want an extra PCI Express or an extra PCI slot as your extra and then there's also the new supreme FX X Phi Edition it seems like they'll put an X file o go on pretty much anything these days and your i/o panel and that's about all for interesting accessories you
