Score: 9
Value for money: 9, "Highly Commended" Despite its slightly tacky gold highlights, the X79 Extreme4 is not just about the bling, and is actually a superb performer with interesting features such as an active cooler, a rare sight on an X79 board. Micro Mart were surprised by the speeds they were able to squeeze out of it and said there were no obvious drawbacks to mention, making this a superb offering for the money. |

"great" (83%)
Value for money: 21 out of 25 points ASRock's X79 Extreme4 looks good and performs well, say Bit-Tech. The X79 Extreme4 comes into its own with overclocking, though it did cause the CPU to become quite hot when Bit-Tech were testing it. There is no manual CPU strap adjustment which is strange but doesn't appear to be a big problem. There are however other motherboards that offer more. |

3.5 out of 5 stars
According to TechRadar, few system integrators will end up using the ASRock X79 Extreme 4, as it just isn't worth the money saving for a platform that isn't trustworthy. Implementation of XMP is weak, and EZ overclock is unreliable. It's a pity really, given that the features are pretty decent and the memory benchmark is superb. |
