These processors find a home in ASUS ROG ATX or E-ATX motherboards, which can be filled with up to 128GB of DDR4-3600 memory and "multiple" 2TB PCIe SSDs.

The next generation of APEX merges a custom quiet pump, pressure regulated cooling, a flow rate sensor, and a high-capacity reservoir with additional custom parallel GPU and radiator bridges for improved cooling and overclocking potential.

For those that require the ultimate in gaming firepower, the new RUSH series can be equipped with up to Dual NVIDIA RTX Titan graphics cards. And "by request", you can opt for a quad-GPU configuration, although specifics on those GPU options has not been made at this time.
