So, I'm still using my Rampage III Extreme system: Pictures for those interested
And I'm playing around with the overclocking. I'm running Windows 8 Pro x64bit and was wondering if anyone here would know where I could get some updated tools to monitor and OC on the fly. Clearly ASUS has stopped supporting the R3E - which is really unfortunate. Its not my fault they made such a kick ass board...
Right now I'm just configuring my system via the BIOS interface, its a custom BIOS (1601) that has an updated version of the Intel Storage software. I can't seem to remember where I got it, but its been working perfect for the last few months.

Only the remote software would need to run on the OS, the Rampage series boards ROG Connect runs on internal board CPU, independent of the OS. So if the laptop was Win8, then yes, it might be an issue.

Overclocking is useless to me if it is not rock stable.

Loaded it up on my laptop, seems to work ok.
I think the reason they stopped supporting it prob is bc it is too hard to make the UEFI BIOS compatible W/Windows 8. They are even having lots of issues with the RIVE (and other Rampage series?) on that front.
My wife has an R3E (Eve below), I wanted to get one that was UEFI BIOS compatible, for use W/booting partitions over 2TB. Used to have an EVGA X58 SLI, that wouldn't sleep properly - and they never fixed that (S3). So I got on E-bay and bought a brand new RMA replacement R3E. I love it too. These are very nice boards, with all kinds of useful features good for in case you have probs (as you know). And now sleep works perfectly, like it's supposed to. I wouldn't upgrade it to Win8 though. No reason to either.
EVGA X58 SLI --> R3E = Taurus --> Lexus!
I suppose it is unfair to compare their budget X58 board to the Asus top-of-the-line, but still:
EVGA X58 Classified 3 --> R3E = Ford Explorer (basic) --> Hummer!
