Well known overclocking trio Kinc, Elmor and SF3D had a good time during the days that passed, much thanks to ASUS’ latest, and pretty odd, creation, ROG Xpander. The expansion module for ASUS Rampage III Extreme enables 4-way SLI with GeForce GTX 480, which is exactly what they were doing. Even though they got some nice results in 3DMark the 3D tests weren’t as good as they had hoped. A faulty modification looks to have caused some problems, but not enough to stop them from breaking records.
The world record came in the CPU benchmark Pifast and has nothing to do with graphics, but with a CPU clock frequency of 6,668 MHz they finished in 12.7 seconds, a new world record.
ASUS’ 4-way SLI solution works well with Rampage III Extreme. They managed to reach P57648 in 3DMark Vantage Performance with four ASUS GeForce GTX 480 cars overclocked to 1,003 MHz GPU, 2,006 MHz shader and 4,604 MHz memory.
