Asus’s Rampage Extreme line has long been considered by many as some of the top overclocking boards that have been on the market, and the Rampage V Extreme is in the same boat.
When the board first came out there was a lot of talk about the inclusion of a non-standard OC-Socket, an aftermarket LGA 2011-v3 socket that has additional contact pins. These pins help feed additional voltage to the CPU and result in what we have found to be very impressive and stable overclocking from the board.
But is this just a gimmick or is it really something that will make a difference? The answer we find is that this is no joke and that the board by far surpasses every other X99 motherboard that is currently available when it comes to cache/uncore overclocking. This leads to massive performance gains that other boards will not be able to achieve and quite frankly they are left in the Rampage V Extreme’s dust. Once again Asus continues the legend of the Rampage Extreme line with this shining example of engineering and hardware dominance.
