New ROG hardware is inbound! We’ve got leaked shots of the upcoming GENE micro ATX board below, so lets take a look:
ASUS ROG GENE heatsink
Here’s the PCH heatsink with six, 90 degree SATA ports, a USB 3 front panel port above and on the other side is that an the iROG chip?
micro ATX with Extreme Engine Digi+ hardware?
Extreme Engine Digi+? Is that DIGI+ VRM? On a Micro ATX. Que some of the smallest, fastest machines ever, perhaps?
GENE rear IO with HDMI and ROG connect
The rear I/O is fitted with ROG connect at the top, two eSATA, plenty of USB and a HDMI port! The integrated graphics option must be a first for any Republic of Gamers board.
SupremeFX 2 Fo'Sho! Underneath? Not-so-sure yet.
SupremeFX X-Fi2 for gamers is fitted here.
Power Up!
Start, reset, debug LED – tick, tick, tick. Oh, and that is an iROG chip!
ProbeIT and a Go Button. Go?
The ProbeIt is for the pro-guys who can’t live without their multimeter when overclocking in clouds of LN2, whereas the Go Button is for switching between overclocking UEFI BIOS profiles on the fly, at any time – great for benchmarking or if you want to turn up the juice prior to gaming. Are you fired up for some micro ATX, Sandy Bridge ROG action? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Raised by wolves in the wilderness, he one day met a bear who taught him there was more to life than just the jungle. From here, he fought his way to the city, foraging for tech on his travels. Today, still searching for the ultimate technology, he survives as a soldier of fortune. If you have spare kit, if no one else can help, and if you know his number, maybe you can hire... Matt Black.
