Question regarding ASRock Z68 Extreme 4 Gen3

[Jona90]

Hello people,


Does anybody have any experience with this motherboard?
I've never had an ASRock component? can somebody give me some feedback on this board.

Thank you.

I wouldn't touch that motherboard IMO. It got bad reviews.

🙁 I ordered it. Hope it will work out for me

Ok well, don't be too worried about it. Sometimes it's a hit and miss with certain motherboards....more likely than not your motherboard should be fine.

I've read a few threads where their Asrock E4G3 is completely stable - and OC's well. But like I said - it can be a hit and miss with these "cheaper" type of motherboards.

If problems do arise once you get it...well you could probably just ask someone here for help.

Let us know how it goes once you receive it.

I have the extreme3 version of it. Runs completely stable with 4.5Ghz aircooled 2500k and dual 560Tis. Pretty squishy 'board' though (literally). Have to be careful while pressing it while installation, I almost managed to break the edge 😛

As perfectblue mentioned - apparently some of those asrock boards are a little thin (literally). Some will be thicker on one side - and skinnier on the other side.

Just be very careful when mounting your motherboard not to snap it.
