AS Rock LGA1155 DDR3 SATA3 USB3.0 Quad CrossFireX and Quad SLI A GbE ATX Motherboard Z77 EXTREME6 Review

The next generation of Intel's core i series isn't a major upgrade from the previous, but yet an upgrade no less.

This board won't blow you away from the 2nd generation sandy bridge, but you probably already know that prior to reading this. What this board will offer is PCI-E 3.0, I don't know if native or not, and some other enhancements over the previous generation.

The extreme6 seems well rounded for what else is offered. The extreme4 isn't bad either, but the extremem9 has wifi if I recall right which I have no use for since I bought the internal adapter long ago. So after all my research and looking I chose the extreme6 and have been quite happy with it.

When you buy a new board, I am not professional but I advise strongly to update the bios or look into the proper bios updates... which many people overlook and don't find a concern. Maybe problems are solved this way, just a side note.

With that said the UEFI is quite nice for a much friendlier user environment vs traditional BIOS. The overclock abilities in this board are quite flexible. Indeed there is the lazy option, or easy option for others, that will overclock the CPU automatically to a few different levels. Starting at 4.2ghz(if I remember right) up to 4.8ghz. Also there is a Turbo 30 option, which I have researched and found to be a quick 30% performance overclock. I choose not to use either of these options. Should you be an overclock genius who loves to touch all the settings, such as tweaking the specific in and out voltages(if there is such a choice for output voltage) and all other such choices you have that power.

My ram was XMP so the motherboard allowed me to choose that in the UEFI settings allowing my ram to run at 1866mhz, as well as being already selected on AHCI there wasn't a lot of tweaking needed. I turned off 1394 since it wont be used and other items such as infrared port. A very simple and easy to deal with motherboard.

Overall I am quite pleased with this purchase. I have already recommended the extreme4 to my friend looking to build custom and he is very very pleased with it. It shares the same UEFI so he turned on the 4.6ghz Auto OC in the UEFI and has been running stable and happy since.

This is run with:
i7-3770K
G.Skill 1866mhz x 16gb
GTX680 OC
Corsair Pro 850w

So far this board hasn't been a disappointment in any way, but I must mention something important to me and possibly many others. Some people hinge upon certain tech in their buys, which this board offers Lucid Virtu MVP that allows the internal GPU to enhance the discrete GPU you are running with. Personally I disliked having this installed. The point of this program is to help with vsync(which is the largest hindrance of this software)that has the ludic vysnc options. These shouldn't be turned on according to many performance reviews I have seen and you can find also. The other is to include the iGPU, but as I also saw in the reviews was a detriment to overall performance in many applicable uses. Without Lucid installed everything is running well. I suggest you don't allow Lucid to be the buying choice, even though many other motherboard vendors also offer it.

I hope this review was comprehensible and not too long winded. Enjoy your purchase if you choose this motherboard, as I know I will for quite a long time.
