Description

Z170 Extreme6 - Imagine, design, and create

Extra large aluminum alloy heat sinks that effectively take away heat from the MOSFET and chipset so that your whole system may perform more stable.
A combination of 820uF and 100uF Nichicon 12K Polymer capacitors. Together these capacitors provide clearer, efficient and more responsive CPU Vcore power, and overclockers may achieve higher scores.
Compared to traditional chokes, ASRock's premium 60 A power chokes effectively make the saturation current up to three times better, thus providing enhanced and improved vcore voltage to the motherboard.

Features

Aluminum alloy heatsink design
Extra large aluminum alloy heat sinks that effectively take away heat from the MOSFET and chipset so that your whole system may perform more stable.
Combo caps
A combination of 820uF and 100uF Nichicon 12K Polymer capacitors. Together these capacitors provide clearer, efficient and more responsive CPU Vcore power, and overclockers may achieve higher scores.
Premium 60 A power choke
Compared to traditional chokes, ASRock's premium 60 A power chokes effectively make the saturation current up to three times better, thus providing enhanced and improved vcore voltage to the motherboard.
I/O armor
A designed protective cover for all of the crucial parts near the motherboard's rear I/O, so that they won't easily be damaged by static electricity.
High density glass fabric PCB
What you've never understood about your computer is that it is scared to death of water, H2O, humidity or whatever you'd like to name it. And even though you do not see the water, actually there may be lots of excessive moist in the air killing your motherboard silently and slowly. No, your motherboard doesn't melt when in contact with water like the wicked witch of the west, but it dies of short circuit.
12 power phase design
The power phase design offers smooth power delivery to the CPU, unmatched overclocking capabilities, lower temperature for advanced gamers, and reinforced system stability for taking on all sorts of arduous computing tasks.
Purity Sound 3
7.1 CH HD audio with Realtek ALC1150 audio codec, pure power-in and other technologies to deliver the crispest sound effects.
Hyper BCLK engine
An additional external base clock generator which provides a wider range of frequencies and more precise clock waveforms. This helps overclockers to have more control over their systems.
Dual Intel LAN
Users are able to connect two LAN cables to this motherboard's rear I/O. 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.
Digi power
Unlike traditional motherboards that use analog power, this motherboard uses a next generation digital PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) design, which provides CPU vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly, so that the stability and lifespan of the motherboard is greatly enhanced.
Flexible PCIe slots
A flexible PCIe Gen3 x 1 slot design that allows users to install add-on cards of all kinds of sizes.
