With its emergence as the new standard for high-speed portable devices, USB 3.0 performance on a modern motherboard needs to be good to ensure that data transferral bottlenecks aren't created.
We tested USB 3.0 performance using an Kingston HyperX 3K SSD connected to an Icy Box IB-223StU3 USB 3.0 enclosure (ASMedia ASM1051 controller). ATTO was the benchmark used.
Using ASRock's XFast USB software, the Extreme9/ac motherboard's USB 3.0 ports are capable of delivering transfer rates in excess of 250MB/s. This is a big improvement over MSI's Z87 XPower which doesn't offer any form of UASP software.
excellent review Luke. ive been looking at a few of their boards recently and they seem to be improving their bioses in the last year. good looking board too.

What is their warranty like in Germany? I tend to stick with gigabyte as its very good here locally.

I ‘ve got one of these bad boys and the first impression that falls into my mind is this:
BADASS…!!! It worths every Euro i paid…
Excellent review as always…
Greetings from Greece…!!!
Nice review but you miss one important point about the exclusive DP-In (the gamer alternative to Virtu MVP).
With all these trends in modern technology and robotics,
it is starting to be a probability that many of us might soon become enslaved by it most especially if you recognize that there’s nothing
we all do at this time that does not involve modern technology
Hi Luke Hill. Need to see the main.jpg picture of the Z87 Extreme9/ac motherboard’s UEFI BIOS main page. I’m wondering which bios version is that. I’ve tried all versions found in the net and none can get me to set PCI’s other than PCI2 to gen1. Thanks.
