Seen last week almost in the nude, Asus' first X58 Republic of Gamers motherboard, the Core i7-ready Rampage II Extreme has now been pictured in full battle gear. That gear is the board's cooling system which has certainly taken its vitamins as it has grown to cover a significant part of the PCB. No northbridge waterblock on this one so, at least for now, only Gigabyte is has combined air and watercooling on a X58 motherboard.

Aimed at hardcore overclockers, the Rampage II Extreme is expected to hit the stores in the next few weeks. Still no word on pricing though.
