#Asus ROG Crossblade Ranger specs

AMD’s Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) has been around for quite some time already, but it’s only recently that ASUS released the Crossblade Ranger – the company’s first Republic of Gamers (RoG) motherboard that supports both A88X chipset and FM2+ socket. Design and Construction As soon as we took the Crossblade Ranger out of its packaging, we already saw some undeniable traces of its RoG lineage. In terms of the overall design, the Crossblade Ranger looks very similar to some of the Z97 boards under the ROG lineup, particularly the ROG Maximus VII. In addition to the intuitively-designed BIOS, the Crossblade Ranger also comes with ASUS AI Suite III which also allows user to do some minor tweaks to some of the settings outside of BIOS. Other features Before we reach the end of our review, we want to highlight some of the additional features that come with the Crossblade Ranger which you wouldn’t normally get on a non-ROG motherboard or competing boards in the same class. The two other nifty additions to the Crossblade Ranger’s arsenal are the Sonic Radar 2.0 and the latest iteration of the SupremeFX which are staple for ROG MoBos. That is exactly what the company did with the ROG Crossblade Ranger which, in our opinion, is currently the best FM2+ motherboard that money can buy.
