Asus shows off the Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 motherboard

Asus' Republic of Gamers (ROG) family is set to grow some more in the near future through the release of a new motherboard, the Intel X58-powered Rampage III Formula. This upcoming model has today been exposed by Asus so as to build up hype around it.

Seen below, the new ATX board has the 'usual' ROG red/black color scheme and features support for LGA 1366 processors, six DDR3 memory slots, 8-phase digital PWM, three PCI-Express x16 slots for Quad CrossFireX or SLI setups, two SATA 6.0 Gbps and six SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, and two USB 3.0 connectors.

The Rampage III Formula also packs Gigabit Ethernet backed by an Intel Ethernet hardware acceleration, 7.1 channel audio (SupremeFX X-Fi 2 integrated card), the GameFirst bandwidth mutlitasker that prioritizes gaming traffic, and more. Expect the board to become available later this month or in September.
