ASRock X79 Extreme9 Motherboard Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.

The Pyro SE 240GB drive delivers some great results with the ASRock Extreme9 motherboard, with sequential speeds around 480 MB/s read and 470MB/s write. 4K and 4K QD32 performance is very strong.

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

As we hoped, ATTO mirrors the results from CrystalDiskMark, averaging around 530 MB/s sequential read and 510 MB/s sequential write respectively.

  1. very nice indeed. costs a fortune, as expected however !

  2. Beautiful looking mobo, they are getting good reviews lately. The whole X79 platform however is just so expensive. my 2500k is working a treat, so im waiting on the mainstream boards to come out soon for the next generation intel chips. should be really interesting.

    is it just me, or do we NEED amd to start competiting. Intel’s prices are just too high and they have sadly no reason to lower them.

  3. A very impressive board, ive never opted for ASROCK in the past, but going on the strength of media reviews ive read recently they seem to be really improving their reputation.

    I always thought they were a budget brand from ASUS, but im not sure where I got that from.

  4. I have GA mobo-s for last 10 years, but last one was Asrock Z68 + 2600K and i`m very happy. GA was too high priced for what they offer 🙁 LACK of hdd ports on P67 distracted me immediately from buying GA.
    And Intel can hold high price i will not buy until price drop down a LOT. I`m not in hurry and probably 80% or more peoples also. They will reduce price when sell drop. They will not until there are a peoples who want 5% faster pc`s for 1000$ more.

  5. But who will pay 300+ for a MB they only stand behind for two years. Asus will sell you one that is good for 5.

  6. Can you upload the L1.92 Bios please?

  7. Lovely motherboard but the majority will never see it in person..
