    This board is having GUI UEFI BIOS. The UEFI for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface is a BIOS utility that offers an innovative ergonomic and intuitive interface. As compared to the older BIOS, many functions have been improved with the arrival of UEFI. Other than this, The software ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one for adjusting numerous settings including hardware monitoring, fan control, overclocking utilities and OC DNA and IES, all in within a single, intuitive interface. The fan control allows adjustment of the rotational speed and displays the temperatures recorded by the system. The overclocking tool allows adjusting the CPU frequency, ratio and the voltage for optimum performance. With the help of OC DNA, you can save your overclocking profiles to share with your friends. They can then import these profiles in their system to use the same settings as you. Function IES (Intelligent Energy Saver) makes the control voltages depending on processor activity, allowing energy savings without sacrificing performance.

    The best part is that it is having the CCO (Combo Cooler Option). The acronym means Combo Cooler Option. This is an exclusive characteristic of ASRock motherboards. CCO provides the flexibility to use different types of radiators kits for processors in LGA775 or LGA1155 / LGA1156 on the same motherboard using the appropriate mounting holes. Once again, ASRock Launches Innovative design and versatility with its system CCO. Other than this THX TruStudio technology is specifically designed to reproduce the sonic experience of a live performance, film or a recording studio on your PC. To enjoy the maximum bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3.0 Mode 3, it is necessary to use an Intel Ivy Bridge. In the case of using a processor like Intel Sandy Bridge, PCIe 3.0 will not work that way PCIe 2.0 (Gen 2).

    Re: Specifications for ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3

    There are the back four USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports available. There's also an eSATA connectors. Since I am having a keyboard, mouse, joystick, XBOX360 controller, printer and an external burner, I can add any additional device only on the front of my closet fit (not directly on the motherboard). In case of a Crossfire / SLI setup, all PCI slots overlap, creating an extra PCI USB controller connected. Here, this is not an option. However, there is still room for a sound card in a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot. As previously mentioned, there are 2 PCIe 3.0 slots available. These are, however only 3.0 in combination with a compatible processor Ivy Bridge. I myself have a i7 2600k in combination with 2 GTX580's MSI. The onboard sound is of good quality. Surround is well aligned and the volume level is not against. The optical connection works fine. I have my Home Theatre Center optically connected, so I can use when playing music, movies, etc. However, I want my own system is still expanding with a sound card.

    The performance of this board is quite good. What is promised in the specifications is actually realized. Overclocking is very simple example, I had never done before, but with a 2600K I had to do a try. It took me just 10 minutes to set to 4.8 ghz, and after a few hours Prime95 stable states with even decent temperatures. Now my CPU is back to normal speed from about 2 weeks without problems, the 4.8 ghz sustained. Performance so I am very satisfied.
