It is clear to us that ASRock is working hard to improve the quality of its products. We were glad to see the voltage regulator circuit of the X79 Extreme6/GB using a high-end design with SMD capacitors, and Japanese solid capacitors throughout the motherboard.
The X79 Extreme6/GB provides many features at a very aggressive price: three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots working at x16/x16/x8 supporting SLI and CrossFireX, five SATA-600 ports, one eSATA-600 port, six USB 3.0 ports, two FireWire ports, and an add-on “Game Blaster” sound card, which provides a digital signal processor (DSP) to improve audio quality and an additional Gigabit Ethernet port. A comparable sound card retails for USD 100, providing an outstanding value to this motherboard. Therefore, the ASRock X79 Extreme6/GB is an excellent option if you are looking for a socket LGA2011 motherboard with the features it provides, at a very competitive price.
