AI overclocking
ASUS AI Overclocking makes automatic tuning faster and smarter than ever before. Available in Windows or directly through the UEFI, it profiles the CPU and cooler to predict the optimal configuration for each individual system.
AI Overclocking
Utilizes onboard intelligence to perform automated clocking and provides target frequency and voltage estimations for savvy veterans that prefer manual tuning.
Storage
Four M.2 slots let you fully utilize the Intel VROC and NVMe RAID to achieve ultimate SSD storage speeds.
1. VROC
The exclusive ROG DIMM.2 module allow you to take advantage of the Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) feature* by connecting two M.2 drives in RAID configuration. With VROC, your RAID arrays are easily configured to be bootable, and traditional DMI bottlenecks are eliminated.
2. PCH RAID
Wired directly to the X299 PCH, the two onboard M.2 slots can be used in chipset-based RAID configurations to improve storage performance or provide a layer of redundancy.
USB
1. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
Reversible USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C™ ports provide ultimate flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps.
2. USB 3.2 Gen 2 front-panel connectors
Two front-panel USB 3.2 connectors are ready to accommodate a wide variety of devices.
Next-gen connectivity
1. Wi-Fi 6 (AX200)
The latest Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax standard delivers high efficiency wireless connectivity for better gaming enjoyment. As well as providing better network pings in multi-user environments, 802.11ax also greatly improves throughput and coverage over earlier standards.
2. 10 Gbps onboard Ethernet
Designed to meet the demanding requirements of power users and content creators, 10 Gbps onboard Ethernet provides a new level of home networking. With up to 10X the bandwidth of standard gigabit Ethernet, you'll enjoy streaming uncompressed 4K UHD videos, and backups and file transfers that are faster than ever before.
3. Intel Ethernet
Rampage VI Extreme Encore features Intel Ethernet (I219-V), ensuring data exchanges with your network and the outside world are fast and smooth. Intel Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and increases TCP and UDP throughput, keeping more processing power.
Accurate Voltage Monitoring
Conventional motherboards use single-ended sensing tapped from a location that isn't ideal, leading to a large disparity between the actual voltage fed to the CPU and the value reported to software. The Encore features a differential sensing circuit that simplifies overclocking and tuning by allowing you to track voltages more accurately.
Cooler by design
● Multiple temperature sources : Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling. And all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.
● 4-pin PWM/DC fan : Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
● Heatsink fan : One header is dedicated fully to the onboard heatsink fan.
● Fan extension card II : Bundled card Includes six additional DC or PWM fan headers, plus three thermal-probe headers.
● Water pump+ : A dedicated header can supply over 3 amps to high-performance PWM or DC water pumps.
● Water in/out : A dedicated header enables monitoring of temperatures at the input/output points of any component.
● Water flow : A dedicated header enables constant monitoring of flow rate throughout the entire loop.
● Water-block header : A special connector enables specially designed water blocks to provide flow, temperature and leakage data.

Cooling Heatsinks
1. Active cooling VRM heatsink : Custom Delta Superflo fans located within the heatsink kick on after 60° C and allow the Rampage VI Extreme Encore to handle sustained power draw of over 500 watts.
2.Aluminum I/O cover : An aluminum I/O cover is connected to the primary heatsink via an embedded heatpipe, increasing mass and surface area.
3. Aluminum heatsink cover : The heatsink cover is crafted from pure aluminum to efficiently cool the two onboard M.2 drives.
4. DIMM.2 heatsinks : The ROG DIMM.2 module now passively cools M.2 drives with metal heatsinks that also keep your build looking clean.
5. Solid steel backplate : A steel, electro-galvanized, cold-rolled coil construction backplate strengthens the motherboard to prevent bending, and adds additional mass to siphon heat from the VRM.
6. PCH heatsink : A PCH heatsink blends seamlessly with the aluminum heatsink cover and prominently features the ROG logo.
