ASRock Z270 Extreme4 Motherboard Review

We will be outlining the ASRock Z270 Extreme4 motherboard's performance with the Core i7 7700K CPU and 32GB of 3200MHz G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 memory.

By default the ASRock Z270 Extreme4 motherboard applies a multi-core turbo (MCT) state and forces the 7700K to a constant 4.5GHz when XMP is enabled. Overclocked performance will be outlined later in the review.

    I love Asrock boards, compared to every other manufacturer, Asrock isn’t afraid to try new or different things (like the 5Gbit NIC they are now offering on some boards), and I love how they only have m.2 slots and not worthless u.2 ports like everyone else…oh, and I like how they’re not Asus, 9 out of 10 computers seem to have Asus boards, and it’s no fun having the same stuff as everyone else
