ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore

[LiveOrDie]

ASUS today launched the Republic of Gamers (ROG) Rampage VI Extreme Encore socket LGA2066 motherboard. This board replaces the original ROG Rampage VI Extreme from the product-stack, but is positioned a notch below the Extreme Omega. It still has a beefy EATX PCB, but with slight variations to the layout. A few features such as the U.2 port are removed, while some of the connectivity options receive major updates. To begin with, the Extreme Encore features Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) WLAN (the Extreme Omega has the older 802.11ac standard). The Extreme Encore also features a 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, which combines 10 Gbps wiring from two ports to a single port. The wired networking is unchanged, with a 10 GbE interface driven by an Aquantia controller, and a 1 GbE driven by an Intel i219-V.

ASUS also reworked the CPU VRM compared to the original Rampage VI Extreme. The new Extreme Encore features a 16-phase CPU VRM with Infineon TDA21472 power-stages, and a large fan-heatsink with more surface-area than even the heatsink featured on the Extreme Omega. The memory VRM is a 4-phase (2+2 phase) setup. The expansion slot area has been made a little more usable, with x16, space, x4, x16, space x16, compared to the x16, double-space, x16, x4, x16 layout of the Extreme Omega. The Extreme Encore features the latest ROG design scheme, with even more acrylic aRGB diffusers. The rest of the board's feature-set is identical to that of the Extreme Omega. The ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore is expected to be priced at USD $649.99.

Asked u at OC.NET, do u have the flat version???

Is the block compatible with Direct Die's???

Hi,
No just the normal optimus foundation copper plexi same as the little image on the test screen shot.

9940x sure isn't flat and it's not worth flushing 3 year intel warranty to make it flat
I'm on my 3rd 9940x

1st out and out died on cold startup at 4.2 otherwise it was good little less than 10c difference between core temps.
Second had 20c difference in core temps at 4.5 all core at 1.24v which is the voltage I really use for 4.8 avx offset 3.
Third is doing good at a little less than 10c difference in core temps.

I have no idea about direct die you'd have to ask Optimus WC on ocn but I think it is.

U use Direct Die??? The Die's are not flat, but a flatter block will help a bit in having a better contact with Die.

And yep, they directly say in their web proxe is compatible with liquid metal and direct die.

Yeah i have the Signature V2 from optimus, i bought the raw copper standard intel setup and it works great, just have to remember to use the block with the optimus signature stamp either on top or bottom and not either side when installing on the board.

For those who put this Encore in a case, unable to put the graphics card on the 1st slot of the case (but on the 2nd), doesn't that sound weird ?
If you have photos to share 😄

i had planned to use the second slot for the 2080Ti and leave the rest free myself

I use 2 cards, slot 1 slot 2 with no fitting issue in slot 1

hello,

The package power on core temp and HWmonitor counts as 1.6 to 1.9 on this board on my AORUS board it showed correct way like this

This is normal


On the REEE


could some one share some light

the ASUS uses different VRM Controller and HWINFO/AIDA64/CoreTemp don't supporting it currently

if you want to see watts enable SVID Support in bios
