Performance
The ROG Rampage – reimagined. ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore EATX motherboard delivers extreme, dominating performance
Teamed Power Architecture
Modern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. Our latest VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.
We became the first manufacturer to implement phase doublers when we shipped the A8N32-SLI Deluxe back in 2005. The board's VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power handling capabilities of components that were available at the time and also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits lead to phase doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry, and they are still used for similar purposes today.
While doublers help extend the number of effective phases, they do so at the cost of a processing delay.
However, the current crop of CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors, and the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. As an added bonus, they also consume less power at idle and can transition between loads states much more quickly. These improvements necessitate a re-evaluation of power design priorities because phase doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response.

Dual 8-pin ProCool II power connectors
Two ProCool connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines.
Cooling
Effective cooling is extremely important for processing beasts that feature up to 18 cores. ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore is fully armed with multiple heatsinks and a backplate to provide the best foundation for extreme PC systems, enabling higher performance at lower temperatures.
Cooling Heatsinks
-
Active cooling VRM heatsink
Custom Delta Superflo fans located within the heatsink kick on after 60° C and allow the Rampage VI Extreme Encore to handle sustained power draw of over 500 watts. -
Aluminum I/O cover
An aluminum I/O cover is connected to the primary heatsink via an embedded heatpipe, increasing mass and surface area. -
Aluminum heatsink cover
The heatsink cover is crafted from pure aluminum to efficiently cool the two onboard M.2 drives. -
DIMM.2 heatsinks
The ROG DIMM.2 module now passively cools M.2 drives with metal heatsinks that also keep your build looking clean. -
Solid steel backplate
A steel, electro-galvanized, cold-rolled coil construction backplate strengthens the motherboard to prevent bending, and adds additional mass to siphon heat from the VRM. -
PCH heatsink
A PCH heatsink blends seamlessly with the aluminum heatsink cover and prominently features the ROG logo.
OverClocking
Rampage VI Extreme Encore is packed with intuitive and flexible tools that let you customize every aspect of your system to deliver the performance and features you want. Take advantage of 5-Way Optimization for intelligent, automatic overclocking. Or enjoy full manual control via comprehensive UEFI BIOS settings.
AI Overclocking
ASUS AI Overclocking makes automatic tuning faster and smarter than ever before. Available in Windows or directly through the UEFI, it profiles the CPU and cooler to predict the optimal configuration for each individual system.
Connectivity
Along with customizable audio profiles and tools to optimize storage and networking performance, the Rampage VI Extreme Encore includes future-proof USB ports to accommodate a wide variety of devices to ensure that your machine is ready for any task.
Storage
Four M.2 slots let you fully utilize the Intel VROC and NVMe RAID to achieve ultimate SSD storage speeds.
VROC
The exclusive ROG DIMM.2 module allow you to take advantage of the Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) feature* by connecting two M.2 drives in RAID configuration. With VROC, your RAID arrays are easily configured to be bootable, and traditional DMI bottlenecks are eliminated.
*Additional purchase of Intel VROC hardware key required for RAID 1, 5 or 10
PCH RAID
Wired directly to the X299 PCH, the two onboard M.2 slots can be used in chipset-based RAID configurations to improve storage performance or provide a layer of redundancy.
Personalize
In addition to extraordinary performance, Rampage VI Extreme Encore provides extensive styling and customization options to let you build a system that truly stands apart.
