Initially, ROG was a single line of products for overclockers. Then there were too many products, and Asus marketers began to divide them into separate baskets. Actually, this is how the HEDT mother series appeared ― ROG Zenith for the AMD Threadripper platform and ROG Rampage to tame the power of Intel HEDT processors like Core I9-9820X or Core I9-9980XE.


For example, the popular ROG Rampage VI Extreme model uses a 16-phase power subsystem equipped with a digital VRM module, Infineon power cascades, MicroFine chokes, Japanese capacitors and integrated thermal protection. Thanks to the use of combined power cascades in VRM, ROG Rampage boards have largely managed to solve the problem of quickly switching between power saving and full load modes. The 5-stage optimization function is actually a system for auto-overclocking of components, which itself selects the optimal values of voltages, frequencies and timings.

The boards of this series, usually, provide up to 8 RAM slots (4-channel mode is supported), several M slots.2 with radiators and 3 – 4 PCI-E 16x slots for installing multiple video cards in Crossfire or SLI mode. As for additional functions, the ROG Rampage models stand out due to the built-in OLED display for displaying system information, a dual network controller with rich network configuration capabilities, a built-in Wi-Fi receiver with WiGig and an elite audio track with Sabre 9018Q2C DAC and Sonic Studio software for stereo sound virtualization.
