ASUS has posted up a bunch of candid shots of the ASUS Rampage III Extreme: Black Edition motherboard and the ASUS Matrix GTX580 Platinum video card that were on display over at CeBIT 2011 last week.

Check out shots of the mobo and GPU below.

Looks great.

What are those golden things on the top, kinda look like coaxial hookups. Maybe antenna connection, but then why would you have two?

and I take it the Xonar Thunderbolt is their Killer NIC/Soundcard.

sweet looking board I so wants me one.

Eh. Its a sick board but I'll stick with the R3E I just got. At least they show the video card im about to get

A GTX 580 that uses 3-slot's space?! It better overclock to insane levels or run REALLY cool.
ASUS...what will they come up next? a 4-slot GPU?

My 460 is triple slot because of the Accelero Pro Trin-Turbo heeatsink, with 1.050vGPU, 850MHz GPU, 1700 shaders, 950 Mem, it loads FAH at 60C. you have to keep in mind a lot of the highend boards and some of the cheaper boards can have dual or even triple SLI because of the PCIe slot spacing. And if you plan to run more than 3 of them you should be under water in any NORMAL operating circumstance such as for a gaming box because most people who intend to use that many cards has the resources and likely knowledge and ability to use watercooling. keep in mind the majority of users have a single graphics card.

Agreed on the water cooling. But not just for triple cards but for two vids as well.
