ASRock X79 Extreme11 Motherboard Review

ASRock have used their comprehensive UEFI interface for this motherboard which is one of the best out there.  After pressing the DEL button to enter the BIOS we are greeted by the main screen which displays some basic information about the system.

All of the exciting parts for us are located on the OC Tweaker page.  There are plenty of settings here to be fiddling about with including ASRock's useful automatic overclocking feature.

Moving on to the next page we find all of the non-overclocking settings under various different tabs.

The ‘Tool page has a number of different utilities including the Instant Flash BIOS feature.

On the H/W Monitor page there is a concise breakdown of temperatures, fan speeds and voltages from the system.

The next two pages contain the boot and security settings and the last lets us exit the BIOS.

Overclocking

For our tests we decided to see how far we could push the i7-3930K with the automatic overclocking feature.  We used the 4.8 GHz setting for our tests as we think this is the highest that is sustainable for 24/7 use with this cooler.
