Asus goes on a gaming rampage
ASUS REPUBLIC of Gamers (ROG) has unveiled the new Rampage IV Black Edition. The gaming motherboard is based on the Intel X79 Express chipset and includes the latest tech to improve gaming and maximise overclocking possibilities. The Rampage IV Black Edition has eight DIMM sockets for up to 64GB of DRAM, supports up to four- way graphics card setups, includes an Extreme Engine DIGI+ III voltage-regulator module for ultra-stable power delivery and benefits from SupremeFX Black, for audio that matches a high-end dedicated sound card. Exclusive EMI
(electromagnetic
interference) isolation technology and a newly- upgraded NEC/TOKIN UC2 audio relay protects electrical circuits from overload and reduces ‘pops’, enabling Rampage IV Black Edition to deliver warm, clear and natural audio. The Sonic Radar on-
screen overlay provides fans of f0irst-person shooter.0+ games with an ear to the ground, as when enabled it displays the precise direction and origin of in- game sounds such as gunshots, footsteps, chatter and call-outs. The motherboard has been modelled with overclockers in mind and is bundled with OC Panel, a real-time system monitoring

research shows that 87 per cent of iPhone users play games using their devices. Some of the above games can drain battery power pretty quickly, so the controller’s 1500mAh battery increases the battery capacity of the iPhone or iPod for longer game
playing time. Plus, users can recharge both batteries without removing the phone from the controller. When the iPhone or iPod is in the controller, users will still be able to access the power and volume buttons as well as the camera, speakers, headphone jack and charging port.
