Asus Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard Review

Today we are going to take a look at Asus’s Rampage IV, their flagship motherboard designed specifically for someone who only wants the best. Asus went all out with the Rampage IV’s UEFI BIOS. Another area that caught my eye was at the bottom of the Extreme Tweaker section where they have four different options to take you to even more tweaking named “CPU Tweakers Paradise” as well as Memory, PCH, and VGA Paradises also. You have absolute control of every small detail, similar in the way to the adjustability you would have in an F1 car. On top of the OC Key you have the Rampage IV’s amazing BIOS and even Asus’s ROG Connect as other ways to adjust your overclock. For our testing we are going to use the BIOS while using the OC Key to monitor voltages, temps, and the overclock itself.
To start Asus has a few default overclocking settings setup right on the first page of the BIOS. A standard Overclock, an extreme overclock for water cooling and good air cooling, and the last one is for LN2 only. The first overclock puts you at 4375Mhz, the second at 4985Mhz, and the last at 4985Mhz also but with LN2 settings turned on.
