ASUS Rampage V 10th Anniversary Edition

Specifications

Firstly, whomever at ASUS decided to have white text on a red background needs to go back to design school. As if white text on a black background wasn’t bad enough, white on red is a recipe for migraines. With that said, if the design of the specification table is poor, the actual specifications are mind-blowing.

No matter where you look, no matter which area of hardware you assign the highest personal value to, the Rampage V E10 has got you covered. Need high quality networking? The Rampage V has dual LAN, both in Intel I218-V and Inte3l I211-AT flavours, but additionally there is dual-band 3T3R WiFi connectivity too. All bandwidth, all the time.

Speaking of bandwidth the Rampage V Edition 10 supports 3333MHz DDR4, although we’re sure that with the combination of ASUS OC Socket and power optimisation the overclocking gurus will soon annihilate such a middling figure. It’s not only memory and networking that has broad bandwidth on the Rampage though, as there are four PCI Express 3.0 slots, 10 SATA 6Gb/s ports alongside U.2 and M.2 sockets for those of you fortunate enough to own such monstrously fast storage solutions.

 

As you can see above, the Rampage V Edition 10 has AURA lighting hotspots throughout the PCB. No simple logo colour adjustment here. It’s a positive Blackpool lights – or Las Vegas strip for our foreign readers – of opportunity. But enough about the dry table of specifications. Let’s get it out on the table and have a good look.
