ASRock Z68 Extreme 7 Gen 3 LGA 1155 Motherboard Review
Synthetic CPU and Memory Tests
SiSoft Sandra 2011
The latest version of SiSoft Sandra offers up a lot of new features including compatibility updates for Sandy Bridge processors, media transcoding enhancements, Blu-Ray, and expanded GPGPU support.
The ASRock Z68 Extreme 7 Gen 3 had a slight edge in our SiSoft Sandra 2011 benchmarks. This board performed especially well in the multicore efficiency department too. I can't wait to see how it performs in PCMark Vantage and a couple other benchmarks to see if this board truly is the top Z68 mobo I've tested to date!

Good overclocker
Five PCI Express 3.0 slots with SLI/CrossfireX support
Excellent overclocking utility
Tons of accessories"
Wait, I thought only one slot is PCIe 3.0 ready. And even it reverts back to the 2.0 spec once more than one graphics card is inserted. Or am I reading this wrong?
Hi all,
Im using a i5 2500K on a Asrock Z68 extreme 4 gen3
cooling: Noctua NH-D14
I'm overclocking through AXTU do i need to increase the cpu voltage as i increase the multipler? if so what is a guide?
I have the same Mobo, i just got my 2600K to 4.90GHz (definitely doesn't like 5.0 on the voltages i can feed it without overheating). I have 4 x 4GB Ripjaw Z 2133 Cl9 ram,
how do you overclock the memory ? - i have seen a review wher eit's out at 2414MHz using 10-12-11-28 T? but i can't find wher ein the bios to alter these.
