I would love to give that board a full, unbias, yet beneficial review.....

I love the looks and layout of that board so much. IMO, the best looking gamer board out there. Ya ya the RE3 is nice too but I like having a top pci-e slot for sound.

An inherent benefit of an overclocked CPU is of course better performance and with the clock speed set to 4GHz, the Formula performed brilliantly. However, when the BCLK was increased to over 216MHz, I started noticing severe slow down in gaming performance and this wasn't limited to just one game. CPU performance was in line with what was to be expected so the culprit was definitely lower GPU performance. The link between a higher BCLK and the latter was never resolved and despite tweaking the chipset voltages, altering the PCIe frequency and using different slots, it was clear that the Rampage III Formula couldn't uphold its otherwise good performance. Even using additional power through the EZ-Plug didn't have a positive impact on GPU performance.

I will let you know how well it works. My review sample just came in from TR.

See how well it holds up to an old E759 and a $100 asrock Extreme x58
