In the enthusiast world you can never seem to have enough power or enough headroom for your system. Although you might hear rumors of the “post PC” era or that the desktop is dead nothing could be further from the truth with regards to Asus and their Republic of Gamers line up of boards. We have covered a number of these going all the way back to before the ROG line was even established and can tell you that when it comes to this line Asus spares no expense in components or research and development. Today we have the ROG Rampage IV Formula in the lab and will be covering the design, features and component choices that Asus has made with this this board and across the entire ROG line.
Conclusion – So far the Asus Republic of Gamers Rampage IV Formula is looking very good on paper. The features, component choices and design all lend to the enthusiasts experience. Asus has done a very good job of detailing the features that separate the ROG line and the Rampage IV Formula from the rest of the pack starting with the packaging. You can also tell that although this board is clearly aimed at the overclocking crowd it can be easily adapted to high-end gaming or even workstation use with many of the options that you get here. We are certainly looking forward to testing the Rampage IV Formula and seeing how features like the T-Trace layout, USB 3.0 Boost (with a device that supports UASP), and of course we want to see how well this board overclocks considering how much of a focus that is for Asus. We will have part two of our review of the Rampage IV Formula up pretty soon, but we can certainly say that even looking over the board on paper we are pretty impressed.
