ASUS today announced that the Republic of Gamers Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard has achieved five world records in 3DMark 11, 3DMark Fire Strike, Cinebench, and CPU-Z Memory benchmarks the OC Main Event San Francisco, co-hosted by ASUS and Corsair, sponsored by Intel. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Intel Extreme Edition, pro-overclockers from around the world gathered with ROG team members Shamino, Raja, and coolice. The team was able to establish five world records using the newly-announced Rampage IV Black Edition Motherboard, Intel 4th Generation Core i7 Extreme Edition Processors and Corsair Dominator Platinum Memory in both 2D and 3D configurations.

ROG Overclocking: Five Major World Records!

Furthering its commitment to the pro-overclocking community, ASUS invited world-class overclockers 8 Pack, Gunslinger, Rbuass, Dumo and Fugger to join forces with ROG team members and engineers Shamino, Raja and coolice. Each brought their unique professional experience, working together to push the Intel Core i7-4960X processors and NVIDIA GeForce TITAN graphics cards to their limits.

Shamino, Rbuass, 8 Pack and Gunslinger focused on the demanding 4-way SLI 3DMark 11 and Fire Strike benchmarks. On 3DMark 11, the team posted scores of 38,231 marks and 38,227 marks in 4-Way SLI on Entry and Performance presets respectively. On 3DMark Fire Strike, a score of 31,998 marks was achieved.

Using the 2D hardware configuration, the team was able to post a score of 17.55 points on 6-core Cinebench, a category record for the Intel Core i7-4960X. Lastly, the team achieved a memory overclock of 3900 MHz using Corsair Dominator Platinum memory, an unprecedented speed for quad-channel memory configurations.

"We are proud that previous ASUS X79 motherboards have dominated overclocking rankings by breaking 26 world records since the chipset launch," said Jackie Hsu, ASUS Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Worldwide Sales, Open Platform Business Group. "The accomplishments we demonstrated here at the OC Main Event San Francisco are a testament to what is achievable by combining world-class R&D with incredible talents from the enthusiast community.”
 
Again. The numbers geek in me things this is cool shit.
The gamer geek in me wishes I had a system that could hit those numbers.

The practical geek in me though...well, they're essentially destroying equipment as am expensive, non-sustainable method of achieving a very big number. I look at this like I look at ricers who put giant spoilers on their cars, massive fart-can mufflers, and silly paintjobs with appliques (STICKERS!) all over their windshields.

It's all very artistic... but ultimately pointless.

When we can hit these numbers on an every day basis WITHOUT needing to immerse systems in LN2, THEN I'll be impressed.
 
This is not rice. Rice is sticking a RAZOR mouse sticker on your case.
 
Cool, looks like the new RIV-BE is up to the task for the LN2 overclocking crowd.
Honestly, I would've liked them to have also tested achieving high stable overclocks of normal off the shelf IB-E 4820k+4930k cpu's and ram under h2o/air to see how well they did.
 
I've seen these overlocking records in person and on the web many times. Can anyone tell me why no one ever wears eye and skin protection?

I've seen them store the Nitrogen under, next to or behind the table where anyone can walk up and in one case I witnessed someone almost tipping the "OPEN" canister over.

With all that said, impressive to say the least.
 
Purdy :)
