BUILT TO BREAK LIMITS
WORLD RECORDS SMASHED
Rampage VI Apex is built to break world records and it's already done just
that. With its optimized layout, high-quality components, and its ability to
withstand the rigors of sub-zero operation with liquid-nitrogen (LN2) and helium
(LHe), Apex has already smashed seven world records and scored 16 global
first-places.* These include the highest CPU frequency for Intel Core i7 at
7.562GHz with four cores and eight threads that's a staggering 75.87% overclock
of the chips default 4.3GHz frequency!
* World records and global first-place positions were verified on 27 July
2017, and are recorded at HWBOT.org.
WORLDWIDE #6 OVERCLOCKER
ROMAN “DER8AUER”
HARTUNG
"With APEX, ASUS ROG managed to bring the LN2-OC
optimizations onto a consumer board which also achieves best clocks for 24/7
overclocking. My go-to board for Skylake-X.”
WORLDWIDE #1 OVERCLOCKER
DANIEL “DANCOP”
SCHIER
One to rule them all no cold boot bugs thanks to special ROG
engineering! And from a performance standpoint, the Apex is simply the best
motherboard you can buy!
OVERCLOCKER'S TOOLKIT
HARDWARE-LEVEL CONTROLS
Rampage VI Apex includes an overclocker's toolkit with hardware-level
controls to aid your overclocking experience. The motherboard's Dual BIOS allows
you to experiment with different firmware versions and provides a path for
recovery in case one becomes corrupt, and the onboard switch allows you to
easily change between the first and second BIOS. The overclocker's toolkit also
includes a Pause switch to halt the system, and four PCIe switches for quick
slot toggling. Other tools include Safe Boot and ReTry buttons, an LN2 jumper to
aid POST at sub-zero temperatures, and a Slow mode switch. Combined, they're
quick and easy time-savers designed to help you break more records.
- QLED - Four LEDs to show the current boot status.
- LN2 MODE JUMPER - Jumper to enable special options and
functions for liquid-nitrogen (LN2) overclocking.
- SLOW MODE SWITCH - Instantly reduces the CPU ratio to 8X
to bypass finicky benchmark passages.
- PAUSE SWITCH - Activate to pause the system and fine-tune
OC parameters mid-benchmark.
- RETRY BUTTON - One press instantly initiates a hard
reset.
- SAFE BOOT BUTTON - Instantly reset the PC and boot
directly into a safe mode.
- PROBEIT - Check the voltage via integrated measurement
points.
- PCIE SWITCHES - Four switches to independently enable or
disable any of the four x16-length PCIe slots, for easy debugging.
- MEMOK! - Instantly retune memory settings for a
guaranteed boot.
- BIOS SWITCH (FOR DUAL BIOS) - Switch quickly and easily
between BIOS one and two.
*Slow mode and Pause switches require that LN2 mode is enabled
CONDENSATION DETECTION
Specialized circuitry allows Rampage VI Apex to detect when condensation
occurs on the back of the board. Divided into four distinct sections — CPU,
DRAM_L, DRAM_R and PCIe — the feature provides a useful warning when an area may
be at risk of short-circuiting.
CPU LED ( Pink) - Flashes when condensation is detected near
the CPU.
DRAM LEDS (Orange) - Flashes when condensation is detected
near the left and/or right DRAM.
PCIE LED (Yellow) - Flashes when condensation is
detected near the PCIe.
OPTIMIZED TRACE LAYOUT
It's the combination of intricate and innovative engineering that makes
Rampage VI Apex such a big performer. Allotting just one DIMM slot per channel
allowed our engineers to create shorter trace distances, which in turn means
tighter control over impedance and reduced possibility for signal interference.
We also adopted an engineering-first strategy, paring back the number of
integrated circuits to enable the best possible trace routing. The end result is
a motherboard with better stability and more overclocking headroom, allowing you
to get the best performance from your memory kit.
DDR4 OVERCLOCKING STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
ROG engineers adopted a four-slot memory design on an EATX motherboard,
enabling a highly optimized layout for memory trace paths to minimize noise and
improve signal integrity. Rampage VI Apex allows for DDR4 overclocking to reach
up to 4500+MHz in dual channel mode, and 4133MHz+ with 4 DIMMs in quad-channel
mode. ROG also works with all the major DDR4 memory vendors to ensure the best
compatibility and real-word performance.
ASUS PRO CLOCK II TECHNOLOGY WITH EXTREME ENGINE DIGI+
A dedicated base-clock generator that extends CPU and memory overclocking
margins. This custom solution works in tandem with the TPU to enhance voltage
and base-clock overclocking control, providing the flexibility to extract every
ounce of performance from IntelCore
X-series processors. And, of course, Rampage VI Apex includes Extreme Engine
Digi+ ROG's revered digital power controller. With a Digi+ PWM controller,
PowlRstageIR3555
MOSFETs, MicroFine alloy chokes, and 10K black metallic capacitors, Extreme
Engine Digi+ technology delivers consistently stable power.

PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 SSDs. ROG DIMM.2 supports a wide variety of existing memory
coolers, and the Rampage VI Apex comes with two fan mounts that support up to
two 50mm fans or a single 80mm fan, making it easy to chill your M.2 drives.
Each module features a pair of onboard thermal-sensor headers for temperature
reporting, allowing control over fan speed and acoustics via Fan Xpert 4
software, or the ASUS UEFI. As a finishing touch, the modules have onboard RGB
LEDs that are controllable via our Aura software, adding options to accent your
build with a range of lighting effects.
