Our friends over at ASUS fired over a few “spy shots” of the upcoming Rampage III Formula motherboard that will offer a great set of hardware features as well as some pretty extensive and impressive overclocking options.

The Rampage III Formula is built around the Intel X58 chipset and thus it will support LGA1366 processors including the new 6-core offerings like the Core i7-980X and i7-970.

The X58 chipset allows ASUS to offer support for both 3-Way SLI and ATI CrossFireX graphics solutions and with the double spacing that the engineers chose you should able to fit just about any combination of graphics cards.  On the far side of the board you will see not only the six Intel ICH10R-based SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports but also two SATA 6G ports (in red) for more storage options.  USB 3.0 is included as well.
