ASRock's Z97 Extreme6 makes a positive start in our system-related benchmarks. Chart-topping numbers are displayed in the 3DMark and Sandra processor arithmetic benchmarks.

Memory bandwidth for ASRock's board is lacking in comparison to its competitors. Loose secondary timings are likely to be the cause of reduced memory bandwidth levels.
