ASRock X79 Extreme 11

[News Team]

The full array of Z77 motherboards has 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. The Sandy Bridge "E" processors have more computing power over "vanilla" Sandy Bridge and Ivy bridge due to the increased L3 cache. With that said, Ivy Bridge "E" processors are due to arrive 4th quarter 2012. The Ivy Bridge "E" series will carry the same architecture with a die shrink and more transistor density than it's little brother version of Ivy Bridge did. The transistors are Intel's new 3D Tri-Gate Transistors which operate more efficiently and Ivy Bridge "E" still uses socket 2011.

Great review Jim. Any thoughts on how the ASrock board will stack up against this one? ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS Rampage IV Extreme

Wow, now that is one monster motherboard. If this thing doesn't have enough ports and slots for you, I don't know what will.
Great job, I liked this review a lot!
