Product Gallery - the ASUS Rampage III Extreme

To the right we can spot another button, this is the BIOS switch. This is a BIOS Flashback button. The motherboard has a Dual BIOS design allows user to keep two different BIOS versions for different purposes. What's fancy is that the BIOSes function as an EPROM, you can remove them and reseat them should you really mess things up.

Users can keep one version for extreme OC, while the other for stable use. BIOS configurations set on the two BIOS chips can also be kept separately, and inter-switchable with simple one touch BIOS switch.

Last topic of interest, the cooling heat sink design has been completely overhauled. Looking great alright, very slick and stylish. Overall the passive design works really well, if you plan to overclock the PC a lot, you can use an included active fan. BTW the round ROG logo in the middle is LED activated and flashes on off depending on your BIOS (selectable) preference.

Okay last photo in this large slideshow aka photo gallery, it is one kick'ass board alright. But it's time to see how well it performs don't you think ? First we'll be managing a little stress test at default configuration.
