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:i7-3770KG.Skill 1866mhz x 16gbGTX680 OCCorsair Pro 850wSo 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.

This ASRock Z77 Extreme 6 motherboard is all it's advertised to be and then some. Packaging and inside packing was excellent. Comes with nice SATA cables, SLI bridge, etc. The instruction manual is good, but could be improved on, however, the CD has a PDF manual on it that is much better.The board was easy to install. My system is:ASRock Extreme 6 MOBO, Laser 1000 PSU, EVGA GTX 570 GPU, running my LGA 1155 2600K for now (I plan on upgrading to the Intel LGA 3770 soon), 16GB Corsair Vengeance low profile Blue 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1866 MHz (PC3 15000)CML16GX3M4A1866C9B RAM, Zalman CNPX 11X (Extreme) CPU cooler, Samsung Optical drive, Windows 8 Pro.The board ran perfectly out of the box and still is. The BIOS system GUI interface is clean, gives a lot of options and is easy as all get out to OC. I literally was blown away by how simple and straight forward it is. The included CD has lots of nice add on's but you don't need to install them for the board to run perfectly.I have built several systems using EVGA and ASUS MOBO's but on this one, based on several reviews and research, I decided to give ASRock a shot because for the money, the quality and the specs I felt it as a worthy contender with the likes of ASUS, Gigabyte, EVGA, etc. So far, I was right.This is a great board for those who want solid performance, great OC potential and a board that not a lot of colorful eye candy but is most certainly capable of delivering the sweet taste of speed, reliability and stability and easy on your wallet.PWN

I've used a few boards over my life (Asus, Biostar, Gigabyte, MSI, etc) and I don't really have any loyalty to one brand. This is my second Asrock board. The first one worked ok but ran a bit hot. I blame that more on the platform it was built on though. This board has handled everything perfectly. I can't comment on the Quad SLI or some of the legacy components such as the floppy as I'm not using them. This is my first foray into actually owning an EFI based board and I love it! I was pleasantly surprised to find out that within the EFI itself I can tell it to do a firmware update. It will use DHCP (by default, I think you can configure a static IP) and connect to the internet and check for an update. This is great compared to the old days of hunting down the correct bios version, creating a boot disk, etc. I haven't used any of the overlocking functions on this board but there all there if I decide to move that way in the future.I do have a couple complaints, one of them really isn't Asrocks fault so I'm not knocking anything off. The first is that when you do update the EFI firmware the settings for the board reset to default. If it's when you first set it up then this isn't an issue. It's a bit of a pain though after you have tweaked everything. You can save presets but on past boards I had if you restored a preset you made on an old firmware to a new firmware. . . .you had a bad day. I know it's possible to design firmware or updates that don't reset all the settings as I've seen other manufacturers do it.My second complaint is there is only 2 intel sata3 ports. I'm fairly certain this isn't Asrocks fault though. I think that's part of the intel specification. They get around this by including the Asmedia Sata3 ports as well. From my research Asmedia has some pretty good speeds for there sata3. I did however have an external esata drive that absolutely hated the asmedia sata3 ports but worked fine on the Intel.
