Dear Oxford English Dictionary, instead of wasting time adding 'twerking', once you see this you'll want to redefine epic instead! Check the spec and engineering pride below and you'll understand that the new Rampage IV Black Edition is the ultimate LGA2011 motherboard, and the ideal companion for a new Ivy Bridge-E (4th Generation LGA2011) CPU.

Though not to be confused with the previous (non-real product) Rampage IV Extreme in black, the official Rampage IV Black Edition is a whole new product you can buy with a full stack of 2013 ROG innovations. The ROG team went through 5 full layout designs to find the best possible 8 DIMM memory layout topology, and where the ROG team was working on the five new Z87 boards in the first half on this year, that whole team has focused efforts on just the Black Edition this time around!

General features:

Ivy Bridge-E optimized design
The only ROG with an all-black color-scheme.
SupremeFX Formula [2013] with WIMA and ELNA capacitors, OpAmp headphone amplifier and 120dB SNR.
Sonic Radar software
Extreme Engine DIGI+ III (VRM design)
802.11ac Wi-Fi
12 SATA [8 SATA 6Gbps]
8 USB 3.0
USB BIOS Flashback
2013 UEFI updates, including Secure Erase, Last Modified Log, Quick Note and ROG Pulse

I'm not a fan of RoG Red theme, but this one... me wants now!

Wish asus took a hint from Henry Ford

With my board dying for the 3rd time in 5 years, and EVGA taking forever to ship my RMA, this really makes me want to throw money at the screen really bad. Looks like a really nice board. Any idea on price? I'm guessing more than I have...
