Hi guys, I may have missed something but I think that the specs listed for the upcoming ROG Strix x99 board are not as good as the Rampage V Extreme which is now a couple years old. If i have missed something please point it out as I am slightly confused with this.

Often it's good to go for the product that has recently been launched since the older boards will either be stocked off the shelves with reduced pricing to make way for newer products(that's how metrics go with company's). If you place both specifications side by side you'll see they are identical. Cosmetically though the bling factor on the Strix is the only thing non existent on the Rampage.

Hi Lutfij,

It did answer it for me thanks, I was asking this prior to the release of the Rampage V Edition 10, so therefore I had assumed that the Strix x99 was going to be the replacement for the previous Rampage board. I was slightly confused why they hadn't added any new feautres, after having years to develop, however with the release of the Rampage V Edition 10, it put things into perspective. I will be upgrading early next year, however I must ask, do you think that a new enthusiast chipset will be released in the 2017 or will x99 still be the most current?

Thanks again,

IMHO, that question can never be answered unless Intel gives the go ahead :p but if you were to follow a trend with high end enthusiasts, their market and the components in that segment then there is about 1+ years of life left in the platform unless someone comes along and brings DDR5 to the table or Intel decide to add native USB3.1 type-C/thunderbolt support.

You need to understand that the enthusiast platform introduces all the high end features and is later watered down to the mainstream market.

You're welcome ;)

If this thread has no further queries, I'd like to close it.
