TAIPEI, Taiwan, August 15, 2014 – Remember those ASRock 9-Series motherboards which are heavily equipped with the world's strongest Super Alloy components? Shortly after two months of their debut, the flagship model ASRock Z97 Extreme6 is not only highly acclaimed by IT pros, but also won the 2014 SMART BUY Award from the authority on tech, Tom's Hardware!

Thomas Soderstrom, Editor at Tom's Hardware pointed out "At $160, ASRock's recently-reduced Z97 Extreme6 clearly leads the performance-per-dollar chart. And, with a full load of dual GbE networking, twin third-party SATA controllers, and four added-in USB 3.0 ports, the Z97 Extreme6 makes few concessions in features."

A product of exquisite craftsmanship, Z97 Extreme6 is one of the starting lineups of ASRock's Super Alloy 9 series motherboards. The first thing that catches the eye is the XXL Aluminum Alloy Heat Sink design, and then the new Sapphire Black PCB. This motherboard features Premium Alloy Chokes, Dual Stack MOSFETs, Nichicon 12k Platinum Capacitors and even more upgrades, such as support for future SATA Express 10Gb/s HDDs, world's first Ultra M.2 PCIe Gen3 x4 32Gb/s slot, HDD Saver Technology and Full Spike Protection. Purity Sound 2 takes onboard audio to the next level, and ASRock Cloud makes remote desktop even more convenient with a File Explorer interface for users to share files between devices.
