Review: Asus Republic Of Gamers RAMPAGE V Edition 10
Join us as we review the the Asus ROG RAMPAGE V Edition 10. It is among the best X99 chipset based motherboards we have tested to date. Not just that, it looks pretty awesome as well in an all dark design with subtle elements and a color configurable LED system. It's big, fast, ROG themed and has luxurious features and overclocking written all over it.
Read the review here.

I think putting lights on anything that isn't a keyboard is the absolute lamest trend happening in the PC industry right now.
...They put them in wireless mice; come on... Are they selling these things to teenagers? I love e-sports but damn, this lighting trend is so stupid.

I agree. Luckily with this board, you have the option to disable them altogether. It is a superb board in combination with a Broadwell-E processor. It is so much more refined and stable than my Rampage V ever was.

Motherboards are probably the first computer peripheral to use led lights as a functional feedback interface that can tell u states at a simple glance ( and alot less annoying then startup beeps! )
No reason that functionality can not be extended without having to justify it's bling cred to anyone that believe lighting can also be a valid artistic design consideration. Or hell...
We can just ask manufactures to just give us square beige boxes so we can claim maturity?

Hilbert, your the only one I know who might be able to help with such a silly problem, so here goes.
Been running this MOBO (Rampage V) for a month so far, and for the life of me, I cannot get the built in Wifi to work on Windows 10! It just won't connect to anything, drivers be damned!
Is this just a W10 problem that'll be solved down the line?
Are you using the Anniversary edition of Windows 10. There are a couple of driver issues with this board and that version.
