The feature-rich Z77 Extreme11 motherboard offers rich storage options. It provides 10 SATA3 ports, 8 of which are SAS2/SATA3 (6 Gb/s) ports sourced from LSI™ SAS 2308 PCIe 3.0 x8 controller. Via LSI™ MegaRAID^® utility, users can get high transfer speed 3.8 GB/s through 8 SSDs in RAID 0 mode.

PLX PEX 8747 is a PCIe Gen3 bridge chip. It offers solid PCIe 3.0 lanes for PCIe devices and is optimized to support high performance graphics. With this bridge onboard, this motherboard is able to work with three VGA cards (3-Way SLI/CrossFireX) at PCI-E Gen3 x8 / x8 / x8 mode or four VGA cards (4-Way CrossFireX) at PCI-E Gen3 x8 / x8/ x8 / x4 mode.

More Precise, More Efficient

By adopting digital pulse-width modulation (PWM), the ASRock motherboard can provide CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly. Compared to analog PWM, digital PWM can optimize the CPU power solution and provide a proper and stable Vcore for the processor.

Top-Class Quality Guaranteed

Premium Gold Caps are luxury capacitors. These 100% Japan-made solid capacitors are sleek, high gloss caps with a premium gold coating representing long life and stable performance.

Dual-Stack MOSFET (DSM) is an innovative new design of MOSFETs. The silicon die area is increased by stacking two dies into a MOSFET. The larger the die area, the lower Rds(on). Compared to traditional discrete MOSFET, DSM can provide larger die area and lower Rds(on), so the power supply for CPU Vcore is more efficient.

ASRock motherboard comes with an exclusive 2T2R WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n + BT v4.0 module that offers support for WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n connectivity standards and Bluetooth v4.0. WiFi module is an easy-to-use wireless local area network (WLAN) adapter to support WiFi function. Bluetooth v4.0 standard features Smart Ready technology and Low Energy Technology.

Wi-SB BOX provides two invisible antennas (placed in a vertical/horizontal position), hidden inside the front panel that offer the most stable wireless network coverage. It even comes with 2 front USB 3.0 ports for easier USB 3.0 device and 1 rack for SSD placement.

With ASRock’s exclusive Fast Boot technology, it takes less than 1.5 seconds* to logon to Windows^® 8 from a cold boot. No more waiting! The speedy boot will completely change your user experience and behavior.

*The boot time may vary with a different configuration.

ASRock "Restart to UEFI" technology is designed for those requiring frequent UEFI access. It allows users to easily enter the UEFI SETUP automatically when turning on the PC next time.

Using only carefully selected copper materials for PCB layers, 2OZ Copper PCB delivers lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for overclocking.

This motherboard is designed with a 8 + 4 Power Phase design. It features sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus, it offers unmatched overclocking capability and enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well.

Dual LAN with Teaming function enabled on this motherboard allows two single connections to act as one single connection for twice the transmission bandwidth, making data transmission more effective.

Rich storage options! This motherboard offers 12 USB 3.0 (4 from onboard header, 8 from rear I/O) to facilitate computing environment.

Vertical type USB ports are rarely seen on motherboard designs. This ASRock motherboard is unprecedentedly equipped with a vertical USB 2.0 port named Vertical Type A USB. Besides the USB ports on the rear I/O, Vertical Type A USB is a convenient alternative port for users to plug in devices.

ASRock motherboard support Lucid Virtu Universal MVP technology that improves your PC’s visuals, with faster response times, improved video processing and smoother media playback, all with low power consumption. Brilliantly designed for gaming, Virtu Universal MVP™ switchable graphics software assigns tasks dynamically to the best graphics resource and features two exciting techniques – HyperFormance™ and Virtual Vsync™.


1. HyperFormance™ - Optimized Game Responsiveness :
Game responsiveness is all about how fast your eye → brain → mouse click → game response behaves. When interacting with your computer, the responsiveness is a key factor to your productivity and overall systems experience. When it comes to playing games, especially fast moving ones like First Person Shooters, responsiveness becomes critical for both mastering the game and enjoying and immersive experience.

HyperFormance intelligently removes redundant rendering tasks within the graphics pipeline, the CPU-GPU-Display system.





2. Virtual Vsync™ - Resolve the everlasting debate between quality and performance :
Lucid's Virtual Vsync technology takes visual quality and performance to the next level. A proprietary solution for Virtu Universal and Virtu MVP, Virtual Vsync enables games to run at any FPS, with no image tearing, stuttering, lags and latency artifacts.

• Enhanced performance - when system has dGPU and iGPU
• Unlimited frame rates - beyond traditional in-game Vsync
• Flawless visual quality without tearing
• Up to 250% better responsiveness vs. standard Vsync


3. Switchable Graphics :
Dynamically assigns tasks to the best graphics resource regardless of physical cable connections.

This motherboard supports HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) which is an interface standard for transferring uncompressed video data and delivering multi-channel audio through a single cable. Both video and audio data signals transferred through the HDMI™ interface are digital without being converted into analog, therefore it delivers the richest pictures and the most realistic sounds.

Users may prevent motherboard damages due to dampness by enabling “Dehumidifier Function”. When enabling Dehumidifier Function, the computer will power on automatically to dehumidify the system after entering S4/S5 state.

ASRock Interactive UEFI is a blend of system configuration tools, cool sound effects and stunning visuals. The unprecedented UEFI provides a more attractive interface and brings a lot more amusing.
