ASRock X79 Extreme11 Motherboard Review @ ThinkComputers

The Intel X79 platform may not hold the overclocking world record but it is the only modern platform supporting the 6 core LGA 2011 and plenty of PCI Express bandwidth.  You can buy quad core editions of this CPU but that just seems silly.

If you are planning on a new system build and need/want the most power you can get then X79 is clearly the way to go.  The next question is, what board will you pick? 

Even with the flood of Ivy Bridge processors and Z77 motherboards out there many people (especially gamers) that still prefer Sandy Bridge-E processors and X79 motherboards.  This is because of the increased L3 cache on Sandy Bridge-E processors and the availability of more PCIe lanes.  So until there is official word when we will see Ivy Bridge-E processors X79 still remains the high-end when it comes to desktop systems.  Today we are taking a look at probably the most feature packed Z79 motherboard we have seen and that is available today.  It is the X79 Extreme11 from ASRock and it features 7 PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, 14 SATA ports, 8 USB 3.0 ports and much, much more.  ASRock is marketing this board as the “Ultimate X79 Motherboard” and we are going to see if it is!  Read on as we taking a look at the ASRock X79 Extreme11 Motherboard.

ASRock seems like an attractive solution but I might suggest checking out a few reviews.
