Welcome to the Republic of Gamers, never been so proud

I am very proud to tell that today the new Asus Rampage III Black Edition finally arrived! Due to the lack of time I only do the unboxing, but tomorrow I put it inside it's well deserved case. Lets see what's inside the box of this master piece. I waited for so long to put my hands on one of these so let's get started!

The Ultimate X58 Gaming Board, Bundled with an Audio/LAN card, ThunderBolt. 

 

• Intel® LGA1366 socket for Intel® Core™i7 Processor Extreme Edition / Core™i7 Processor
• Intel® X58/ ICH10R
• ROG ThunderBolt LAN/Audio Combo
• Bluetooth v3.0+HS Support
• Extreme Engine Digi+ - Powerful combination of analog and digital design elements
• True USB 3.0 & SATA 6Gb/s Support 

 

The kit even contains a Asus ThunderBolt Sonar card, a dedicated LAN/audio combo which speeds up the internet connection, takes out the lag and decreased latency, but more about that later on when I'm off to install it inside the case. Its just like another weapon in a gamer's arsenal!

The box is filled to the top with accessories, all cables SATA II+III you ever need are inside, some temperature probes, extra motherboard fan, two WiFi antenna's, even the SLI 2+3 way bridges and Crossfire support bridge. Q-connector, USB/SATA expansion card, and a nice I/O shield with ROG design. And of course the tweak and tune software and some well designed and user friendly manual + paper work. This is Asus quality to the top.
