ASRock Z370 Extreme4 - ATX Motherboard for Intel Socket 1151 CPUs

Good stuff:-VRM is good. Good for overclocking.-Well packaged, board arrives surrounded in foam unlike many other manufacturers.-Board feels stiff and thick, not easily bent.-RAM slots pins are gold plated. A feature which is non existent on Asus or Gigabyte boards at this price.-12K Nichicon capacitors unlike Gigabytes 10K caps on boards more expensive than this.-It looks very elegant when installed.-Best value for money on the market at time of posting. Asrock feels like a company focused on substance rather than fancy dragon graphics and rgb.Bad stuff:-PCIe slot armor is fake, its just a metal cover which is not anchored into the PCB meaning it dose not add to shear or tensile strength of the slot unlike on Asus or Gigabyte motherboards.-The clearance between graphics card and SATA 3 ports when gpu is installed is almost non existent. The graphics card touches the SATA ports when board is horizontal. This is evident on many non Asrock boards too.-The error beep codes I recieved were not accurate. I had faulty RAM only, but beep code was 5 beeps which is for CPU error.-The RAM slots have single sided latch which makes inserting RAM not as smooth as on Gigabyte boards which have double latch and are armored.Overall an excellent board. Works perfectly. You will have no regrets.

One of the best motherboards i have owed (and ive owned a few).I have nothing bad to say about this one easy bios. Easy setup (if you have a cd rom). I supose if i had a niggle it would be the plastic protection patrudes and can be tight fit if putting water cooling fan at top of atx case. But got arround this by putting water cooling in first the set the board (but this could be down to my case not the board.

Got interference on the built in HDMI connection to the TV - traced this to the strobe lights on the mother board. Tuned off - then OK.The rest is great,easy set-up and a range of built in OC profiles, not that i do, but who knows what you may need in the future.

Superb motherbord with 12 power phases (=stability)! And the price is very nice. You can find lots of reviews online so I only highlight things I've never heard of:FANS: go in the BIOS, advance mode, HW monitor, scroll down and run Fan Tuning. It is very important to have proper % of rotation and it is useful to stop all the fans rotate at maximum speed when you turn the PC on (that otherwise happens REGARDLESS of the speed you set).About Linux:I've changes the mobo but reused the system disk, and I had problems with the x-server despite I've swap M/B with no proprietary drivers in use. The system was using the nouveau standard drivers with an Nvidia.Solution: sudo remove xserver-xorg-video-intelRGB leds from the BIOS (nice for Linux).All OK out of the box with Kernel 4.15 (I've also update the BIOS to 1.18).Very happy.

Good motherboard. UEFI pretty nice although it could be better at explaining some features inside. The offset for CPU voltage could have done with more explanation and the LLC as well as some other features. One thing annoys me is that I relized that it came without the jumper fomr the CMOS clearing thing. I looked everywhere and I couldn't have lost it as I always am very careful with all components and store them carefully. And obviously i had to realize this one day after I could have done something about it..

Great mobo. Previously had Creative Fatal!ty gamer pro card and was worried about onboard sound. Sound is great, can't feel a difference between onboard and Creative. Have i5 8400 with 16GB Patriot Viper 3733MHz CL17. Great performance, low power usage.

Brilliant features for the price and includes RGB lighting which I could care less about but I couldn't find another MB with these many features for this price range. Outstand

The board looks very solid and well built, and has all the features that were needed - that's the main reason I went for this instead of a more expensive one. However I also got 3600MHz memory, and after activating the XMP profile was getting freezes in Windows after e.g. idling for an hour or after stopping a Prime95 test. Turned out the XMP profile was putting the VCCIO and VCCSA voltages way too high! and that was causing the instability. Dropping those with 0.1 (to 1.1 and 1.15 respectively) helped resolve the problem. This seems to be an issue with the 1.3 bios, as (after a week spent reading online) others reported that with 1.22 all worked fine.So if you have issues after activating an XMP profile for your memory - try lowering those voltages, or go back to a stable bios version. Hope ASRock will sort that in a future revision of the same.This problem is my reason for 4 stars for the board. Other than that everything is working perfectly fine!

Me ha sorprendido lo lejos que ha llegado Asrock. Recuerdo que antaño (principios de los 2000) eran productos de gama baja, pero ahora tanto la calidad del producto como las prestaciones de la tarjeta madre me han dejado satisfecho. Muy fácil trabajar en ella y la entrega bien por parte del vendedor MemoryC.Lo único a remarcar es que hubo un cargo por parte de la paquetería al momento de la entrega, correspondiente a gastos de aduana. Fue alrededor de 18% del valor pagado por el equipo. Solo para que lo tengan en mente en caso de que compren en EEUU.

There are a few quirks to this board but overall it is a really solid product with a really good price point.I have run into the following problems:There are 2x M2 slots but when these are active they shut down some of your SATA header slots. I'm not using M2 but I found the sharing of slots to be a problem point when troubleshooting why a drive was not showing up on my system. The UEFI is good overall but the choices are unclear sometimes and the reason to choose one option or another needs a LOT more documentation at times. Example: I am running PCIe SSD boot drive but 2x HDD in mirrored RAID for secondary storage. Okay, right? Except... getting those drives to BOTH show up was tricky and it seemed like everything I was doing should have worked but it wouldn't. It took a lot of fiddling with the BIOS settings to get both to show up then both to allow me to list them in the RAID menu to create the array. Once they did, it was easy as pie and I love that part of it. However I also wanted to attach a 1TB HDD from an older PC into this one to copy files over -- transfer the command to the flagship, if you will. I could not get that to register at all. I tried trouble shooting ports, power cables, settings, you name it. The SATA speed menu in the UEFI (BIOS) was not automatically stepping down to SATA2 for the older drive. I had to manually choose "Gen 2" before it would register and by then something happened to damage the drive controller (though no stars off because I can't be sure that was really the motherboard's fault).Overall the documentation was slim and I had to resort to google and youtube to get some things done that should have been a HECKUVA lot easier to do, but to be fair that's not unique to this BIOS alone.Part of my troubleshooting to get that drive to show up should have included resetting CMOS but by this time my 2-slot video card was already mounted in the top-most PCIe x16 slot and the battery was mounted literally 100% behind the entire card's body at this point. It had a closed loop cooling setup that was a bit of a hassle to fit in and I didn't want to rip it all out just to reset a battery then put it all back in. That's a big of a problem if you ever need to reset CMOS. Same for 4 of the 8 SATA headers -- they are either partially or fully behind the video card making it quite irritating to plug in another drive by sense of feel alone.Apparently something damaged my 1TB controller board during this experience. I'm not placing blame, but when the drive was "bad" the BIOS took a VERY long time to try and reconcile that the drive was bad. I had the boot delay set to 2 seconds and then Windows boots. With the "bad" drive off the system, it did that. With the bad drive in the system, it paused at that "press DEL to enter setup" screen for well over a minute, and hitting the DEL or F2 had no seeming effect for that time, and then only finally after an very annoying delay did it come up. While troubleshooting this became a very irritating issue for me because I had to save settings and try again but it would then feel like it had hung up on the boot, but it was really just trying to recognize the bad drive.The chipset, upper header and lower header are all individually customizable color LEDs built into the UEFI. That's nice. Each can be set differently or all the same. I set them to my preferred theme color and it's good to go. If you disconnect power and reconnect it then turn it on, they all flash white but then remember their saved settings after 1/2 second or less. The white flash is a little alarming at first but no big deal.The header plate for use on the back of my case had 2 round holes for wifi antennae but no actual use for them -- no wifi built onto this board. A little odd that it wouldn't have its own header, but not worth taking a star off for that.The layout overall is good. CPU mounted no problems. GPU mounted no problems. PCIe SSD mounted no problems, all started up the first time. There is a 12v header at the "top" of the board which is inconvenient for my modular PSU. I wish it was located elsewhere. The RAM slots are rather close to the CPU and I was planning to run 4 sticks of DDR. I have 2 for now. You have to check the book because the default slots to run just 2 are not the ones you think. You skip the first and third and mount them in the second and fourth. However, if I had to put another into that first slot it's going to be brushing into my CPU closed-loop pump housing. If you have a large area air cooling setup you will run into problems with the RAM slots. Also, they didn't feel very secure when mounting the DIMMs. I wasn't even sure they had properly seated (yes, they had) because only one side of each DIMM slot has a "snap-lock" mechanism.Pros: Z370 chipset, support for 8th gen Intel chips. Overall good performance, no actual problems once it's set up. Awesome price for the performance you get (almost half of some other comparable boards). USB 3.0. USB typeC integrated port on I/O panel. Booted up first time with no problem.Cons: Very poor RAM DIMM spacing (too close to CPU), SATA headers share bandwidth and also behind video card, CMOS 100% hidden behind video card, awkward UEFI (BIOS) options and unclear documentation on what actually choosing the options does vs just what the overall option relates to. Also not much documentation on hangs/delays or other problems. Weak fan header placement (enough, just in annoying spots).Icing on the cake: LEDs are nice and very easy to set.Overall: despite the problems 5 stars and would recommend as long as you know what you're getting into.

en relacion calidad y precio es la mejor placa que podia haber comprado, sin duda una compra excelente de la que no me arrepiento

The media could not be loaded.  >>>> Meine AnforderungenIch habe einen PC für die Foto- und Videobearbeitung zusammengestellt. Meine Wahl fiel auf dieses Mainboard, da es viele USB 3-Anschlüsse hat und M2-SSDs installiert werden können. Denn ich wollte, dass Foto- und Videoprogramme möglichst schnell laden.>>>> InstallationDie Installation war weitgehend problemlos. Beim IO-Shield muss man nur aufpassen, dass es kleine Metallzungen gibt, die gerne in die Anschlüsse geraten statt daneben. Bei mir ist so eine Lasche in den HDMI-Anschluss geraten und ich konnte nichts anstecken. Also hieß es nochmals Mainboard ausbauen und korrigieren.Ich habe nur einen relativ kleinen CPU-Kühler verwendet (zugegebenermaßen nicht optimal fürs übertakten), deswegen hatte ich kein Problem mit der Installation der RAM-Speicher. Trotzdem ist es sicher besser, zuerst den RAM und dann erst den CPU-Kühler zu installieren.>>>> FazitDas Mainboard verrichtet bis jetzt klaglos seinen Dienst.Es gibt ein paar bunte blaue Lichter und ein rotes, aber da ich zur Geräuschreduzierung ein Gehäuse ohne Sichtfenster verwende, stören sie mich nicht. Das Licht dringt nur hinten beim Gehäuse raus, aber da ich sowieso eine Steckdosenleiste mit Ein/Ausschalter verwende, um den PC in der Nacht ganz vom Strom zu trennen, stört mich das auch nicht. Die Lichter wären aber schön anzusehen, wenn man ein Sichtfenster hätte, sie sind nicht zu aufdringlich. Die blauen Lichter glimmen wie ein Herzschlag.Die Verpackung finde ich nicht optimal, es gibt eine Außenhülle und noch eine Schachtel, die man dort hineinschieben muss. Da man ja die Schachtel oft für das Zubehör aufhebt und etwas rausnehmen will, ist das jedesmal ein bisschen fummelig.Aber das sind wirklich Peanuts, ich bin mit meinem Kauf wirklich zufrieden.Wenn ihr mein Video in 4k Qualität sehen wollt, sucht gerne auf Youtube nach "schwammerl testet ASRock".
