Asus Crossblade Ranger @ LanOC Reviews

By: Dennis Garcia | Published: Monday, December 29, 2014

Ummm. Crossblade Ranger?

So last week I took a look at Asus’s AM3+ board, today I have the chance to take a look at a more recent AMD based ROG board called the Crossblade Ranger. Asus launched the Crossblade Ranger not to long ago and as you can tell from the lack of any numbers in the name this is their first Republic of Gamers FM2+ board. Why did they take so long to bring one out? Frankly the FM2+ platform was always designed to be more of a mainstream platform but that didn’t stop some people from using them for gaming. Asus noticed there was interest in a gaming focused board and here we are. Today I’m going to dive into the Crossblade Ranger and see what kind of features Asus packed in then after that I will get it on the testbench and make sure it performs like it should as well.

The name reminds me of the "Flaming Blade" from Foxconn back in the day. The motherboard looked awesome but didn't really have a good name.
