Not only visually, but also under the hood, ASUS has made some changes to both new additions. Great attention was paid to VRM cooling by the manufacturer, which in the recent past caused negative criticism, and has now been significantly revised and enlarged on the ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha and the ROG Rampage VI Extreme Omega. This should not be an obstacle to operating with a large Skylake-X processor with 18 cores (Core i9-7980XE or Core i9-9980XE) or a 32-core Threadripper CPU (Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX), including overclocking.

The CPU power supply, consisting of IR3555 PowIRstage MOSFETs, should ensure this. The Rampage VI Extreme Omega also gets two 8-pin power connectors for the CPU, whereas the first model had to deal with both 8-pin and 4-pin. Expansion interfaces have four times PCIe 3.0 x16 on the Zenith Extreme Alpha and three PCIe 3.0 x16 on the Rampage VI Extreme Omega. In both cases, PCIe 3.0 x4 and the LiveDash display are added.
