We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the ASRock Z97 Extreme6 motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.7GHz and memory speed was 2400MHz.

As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from Gigabyte's Z97X-SOC Force motherboard. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with both boards was a 4700MHz (47 x 100MHz) processor frequency and 2400MHz CL10 memory speed.

Using the Z97 Extreme6 to overclock our 4790K can deliver noticeable improvements in performance. Gigabyte's Z97X-SOC Force is slightly faster in Cinebench and 3DMark, while Bioshock Infinite results in a tie.

Despite all this, the head of 3rd parties at PlayStation ‘Christian Svensson’ has claimed that “there are no dire times for the industry ahead as far as I'm concerned.”

    Please review the asrock z97 extreme9. It may eliminate your ONLY con with its PLX chip and greater PCIe capability.
