Since Asus gave up on any updates for RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION I am wondering what is the best CPU for this aging MB?
According to Asus website it is 4960X rev S1. Opinions? Looking to upgrade from my overclocked (4Ghz) 3930k. (or should I just bite the bullet and replace my MB?)
I use an Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 in my RIVBE.
Works great especially in Maschine + Logic Pro X.
