These upgrades are a welcome sight, especially for those who want to overclock AMD's Threadripper WX series chips, as VRM temps could be seen as a limiting factor for ASUS' original Zenith when used with AMD's ultra-high-end chips. While both platforms find their origins in workstation-grade hardware, ASUS has stated that this pair of motherboards is aimed at 'the most discerning gamers, enthusiasts, and overclockers', as evidenced by the large VRM heatsinks that can be seen on both motherboard designs. Meet the ASUS ROG X399 Zenith Extreme Alpha and the ROG Rampage VI Extreme Omega, both of which are primed for extreme overclocking ASUS has officially revealed two new entries into their HEDT motherboard lineups, both of which are explicitly designed to get the most out of Intel X299 and AMD's X399 motherboard platforms.
