ASUS must be feeling smug right about now, and with good reason

When I wrote about the Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard the other day, I knew it would land in overpowered gaming systems.

What I didn't know was that it has been used to shatter not one or two, but five overclocking world records.

At the OC Main Event in San Francisco, co-hosted by ASUS, Corsair, and Intel, the mobo was equipped with ASUS GeForce GTX Titan graphics cards, Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition Haswell CPUs, and Corsair Vengeance Extreme and Dominator Platinum DDR3 memory.

Quad-channel memory frequency was one area where a new record was set.

The others were the following benchmarks: 3DMark 11Entry, 3DMark 11 Performance, 3DMark Fire Strike, and CineBench.

See the results with your own eyes in the gallery below. If nothing else, this will definitely give ASUS lots of bragging rights, even though the memory and the Intel CPUs actually did the work.
