With the Rampage VI Extreme Encore ASUS have gone back to the drawing board and produced a model which straddles the design line between the original Rampage VI Extreme and its Omega stable mate. Improvements to the quality of power stages, now utilising TDA21472 rather than the IR 3555 have allowed bigger power amperage, and this has been tamed by the introduction of two 30mm Delta fans.
