New Asus X48 Rampage Extreme reaches FSB overclock over 700

Mobo has extensive cooling and a nifty BIOS

It looks like Asus is going to bring their Republic of Gaming branding up another level with the release of the upcoming X48 chipset motherboard, the Rampage Extreme.

According to reports coming from other side of the world (specifically: Taiwanese technology site Hard Spell), with the Rampage Extreme you can overclock the FSB to 710 MHz (2,840 MHz effective). For comparison's sake, generally most new motherboards are doing well if the can overclock to the 500 MHz mark.

From the picture below, you can see that this overclocker has a E8400 running at 710 * 6, which translates into a system running at 4.26 GHz.

Besides awesome overclocking potential, the Rampage Extreme also features a BIOS that can be adjusted on the fly. That's right -- you don't even have to reboot to overclock your system for a gaming session. Called the "TweakIt", the new motherboard also has a LCD display right on the board with a small little joystick that you can use to adjust your clocks. 

To support these high speeds, this Asus board reportedly has high quality capaciitors, and extensive heat sinks on the North/Southbridge.
