ASRock X79 Extreme 11 @ PureOverclock

Pure black and gold with this motherboard.  At first glance it looks like a X79 Big Bang clone but the shorter overall height and compact design are a dead giveaway.

The full array of Z77 motherboards has already been introduced throughout the industry and Ivy Bridge is now a mainstay for Intel. With all the hype and migration, many have forgotten about another viable, and arguably better, computing platform. Yes, the X79 platform is still alive and so are Sandy Bridge “E” processors. ASRock has one of the most comprehensive X79 lineups of all manufacturers, and now the ASRock X79 Extreme 11 has appeared to shake things up further. The Extreme 11 has seven PCIE 3.0 slots (using the PLX PEX 8747 chip), eight SATA III ports and eight USB 3.0 ports. This is on top of a boatload of other features as well. Needless to say, the Extreme 11 is surely built for the performance inclined user.

With the new influx of ASRock reviews I might have to look into getting some of that action.  If anything to find out what all the fuss is about.
