ASRock hold a eventuality in Taiwan to denote their latest X99 motherboards where they also showcased their beastly, X99 Extreme 11 motherboard. For once, we suspicion that we have seen all a top-to-bottom X99 chip formed lineup from ASRock though looks like ASRock has still got one some-more proclamation to make per their flagship ASRock X99 Extreme 11 motherboard that should be accessible to consumers after subsequent month.

The ASRock X99 Extreme 11 is a sight in terms of pattern and features. The motherboard facilities and E-ATX form cause that has turn a customary distance for a high-end X99 motherboards. But a volume of facilities on this motherboard are violent bringing it in a same tier as a X99S XPOWER and ROG Rampage V Extreme. The house is built on a same Super Alloy pattern from a rest of a ASRock X99 motherboards and facilities a 12 Phase VRM. The PCB is built on a high-quality pattern and components doing that has the XXL aluminum amalgamate heatsinks featured opposite a board. It retains a blue and black tone intrigue with a heatpipe formation though a engaging thing about a house is that it also comes with a active fan cooling resolution to cold down a additional storage and PCI-e controllers featured nearby a PCH. This heatsink is connected to a PWM cooling around a singular heatpipe though a some-more denser.

The Super Alloy pattern includes reward memory amalgamate chokes, ultra Dual-N MOSFETs (UDM), Nichicon 12K Platinum capacitors, Sapphire black PCB, a Digi energy 12 Phase CPU beat breadth modulation section along with several high-quality components built to broach impassioned overclocking to enthusiasts. The LGA 2011-v3 hollow is surrounded by 8 DDR4 DIMM slots that are able to support adult to 128 GB of DDR4 memory adult to speeds rated during 3300 MHz (O.C+). Power is supposing by a 8-Pin EPS and 24-Pin ATX connectors. Storage includes a mind boggling, 18 SATA III ports (full 6 Gbps), 10 of that are powered by a PCH and a renaming 8 by a apart SAS controller. There’s also twin USB 3.0 and twin USB 2.0 headers down a PCB.

Expansion slots embody 5 PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots with adequate spacing to support 4-Way SLI and CrossFire Multi-GPU functionality. There are twin Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4) slots that can support NGFF SSDs for additional storage. A few overclocking switches can be found during a bottom of a PCH heatsink along with a evidence LED. Since a motherboard has active cooling, it requires an additional 3-Pin tie to energy a fan on a heatsink shroud. A 4-Pin PEG connector is seen nearby a USB 2.0 ports that offers additional energy to a PCI-Express ports when regulating mixed appendage cards and graphics cards. There’s another down a PWM feverishness sink. ASRock has defended their Purity Sound 2 pattern on a motherboard that is removed on a apart PCB and indicated by a black line.

The I/O row on a ASRock X99 Extreme 11 motherboard includes 4 USB 2.0, 4 USB 3.0, twin Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, twin e-SATA ports, a PS / 2 port, CMOS Reset switch and a 7.1 Channel audio jack. ASRock has not suggested a pricing of a motherboard though we can design it to arrive in a sell marketplace in a subsequent few months for a cost brazen of $450 US.
