Also included with this board is the SupremeFX Hi-Fi with its External (to the board) DAC. For this board ASUS again uses the Nichicon caps and Texas Instruments R45801 amplifiers.

There is even a fan extension header and temperature monitoring leads found on the board, too!Īudio is handled by ASUS SupremeFX which runs off the shielded Realtek ALC1150 Codec. Like its new little brother, the Strix X99 Gaming we reviewed, the RVE10 has a header with additional power coming in at 3 A located next to the 24-pin ATX power plug (the top fan connector of the two). Last here is the Bluetooth 4.0 support with transfer speeds of up to 1300 Mbps.Īs far as fan headers go, there are a total of seven 1 A PWM/voltage controlled headers on the board. It supports dual band frequency of 2.4 and 5 GHz and has the ASUS ROG GameFirst Technology to help prioritize network traffic. On the wireless side a Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac adapter is included. On the LAN side of things ASUS uses two Intel Gigabit NICs, I218V and I211-A, which has the Anti-surge LANGuard for protection from ESD. There are also a couple of PCIe 2.0 slots (one PCIe 2.0 x4, the other 2.0 x1) rounding out the connectivity. There is not a PLX chip on the board so your breakdowns are as follows: The RVE10 supports up to 4-Way SLI or CrossFireX for multiple GPUs with a 40-lane CPU. There are a total of ten SATA 6 Gbps ports (all from the chipset), an M.2 slot, and U.2 connector for storage.

It supports both Broadwell-E and Haswell-E processors, has eight DIMM slots supporting up to 128 GB of DDR4 with OC speeds reaching (and going past in all likelihood depending on your IMC and memory used) 3333 MHz. For the most part, we know the high-level goodies already. Please take a look below at the specifications list from the ASUS website for the RVE10. Grab your favorite drink, take a seat, and let’s dig in to see what the RVE10 has to offer! Specifications and Features

Frankly it is tough to believe there can be any more features added to this monster of a board, but ASUS has managed to improve upon its great pedigree with some added features! This board feels like it was forged from ‘unobtanium’ it’s so heavy and robust. It adds several new features over the Rampage V Extreme, which we will get into later. The “10” in Edition represents the companies 10th anniversary for the ROG lineup. This time it is their flagship board, the ROG Rampage V Edition 10 (henceforth RVE10). Today we have an opportunity to review another new X99 board from the ASUS camp.
