Are you ready??

ASUS Rampage III Extreme
OC3D World Exclusive
I'm sure by now you'll have heard that ASUS have updated their Republic of Gamers Rampage II Extreme , to the Rampage III Extreme. We've all been hotly anticipating it and recently we had a first look at the official ASUS photographs.
Today ASUS have finally released their official Press Release too giving us all the information we could ever need about what we can expect to see in a couple of months time.
For us here at Overclock3D.net though, frankly we're not interested in that official press release. Ok a bunch of sites will have it up or be putting it up and good for them. It's the hardware of the moment and they need all the help they can get.
Because we have it.
Here.
Now.
In our hands. On the bench...
Presenting the First Rampage III Extreme in the World
What now dear readers?
Having it here naturally leaves us with two choices. Do we :
a) Regurgitate the ASUS press release about how packed with the latest technology this board is and how you need it in your life?
b) Use that time towards benchmarking this puppy so we can have a full, hands-on, review for you to read on Friday?
Considering you know that as part of the Republic of Gamers brand this will do everything you can think of and some that you can't. Because it's not even out yet it will be stuffed to the gills with the latest technologies such as SATA6, USB3, ASUS ROG Connect for overclocking via another PC and chokes that can handle 40 amperes.
And because we love doing the voodoo that we do so well, we're going to concentrate on torturing this until it begs for mercy rather than make do with press releases.
To tide you over until Friday, keep a tissue handy because Tom has a video for you :
After that I think we all need a lie down. But we never rest here at OC3D so that you can.

Tom, would it be possible for OC3D to get it hands on a Crosshair IV Formula 890GX any time soon? From the previews I've seen, it looks sweeet. And rumours say, that it will only cost a tad bit over 200 bucks.
Awesome. A honorable challenger to the EVGA Classified.

Great score for OC3D getting hold of it first - well done Tom!

sweet! If i were to buy a new boar dit would probably be a Formula - I find the extreme boards often have a bit too much
If there are requests, I'd love to see this run in raid 0 with some really fast SSDs, if you have
anything that cam make use of the SATA 6Gig.
Lastly, I'm most impressed you could do that video without giggling. I think I would have.
