Well it is only improving memory compatibility. I wish they were a bit more specific. :/Quote:

True, but still nice to see that they havent completely abandoned the board yet, it does have pretty good boot time already however.. but yeah.. RST rom would be nice aswellQuote:

There is a new beta bios that updates intel management engine and adds the Ultra Fast boot option if you have Windows 8 and a supported GPU. alas, my GPU doesn't support Ultra Fast boot.
You can grab the bios from here.
Interesting that Version 2.21A got released later than 2.23 though, i wonder whats up with that, gonna have to try that though, still on 2.20 :]
Finally managed to get Ultra Fast Boot.
Look how fast it boots into Windows now. =]

Read the description on how to convert MBR to GPT while retaining your data. Remember you need a GOP supported graphics card.
Does anyone know which settings I need to set to get wake on LAN functionality working? I want to wake my PC up to stream movies to my tablet.
It used to work many months ago, but I have updated the firmware and reinstalled Windows couple of times and I cannot seem to get it working again.
for fast boot windows 8 is a must?
yesQuote:

I bought this motherboard not with the intention of overclocking, just was looking for the best motherboard in the store at the moment, about a year ago, and the salesman offered this one, Asrock z68 extreme4.
latelly, the computer is randomly freezing and shutting unexpectedlly off.
i took it to the store and couldnt find the error, they tested the disks, memorys, cpu, video card.
so i started doing some research and found this thread. i started reading it, i plan to read all relevant posts, and meanwhile im posting this one.
If anyone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction to find a solution for my problem, i would apreciate it.
my mobo config is:
Windows 7
Power: corsair TX850W
Ram: 16GB ddr3 - 1333 (4 x 4GB)
Video: GeForce GTX 580
CPU fan: Zalman 9900
CPU: Intel i7 2600
thanks
if they "checked" everthing else but motherboard, then it's mobo itself...RMA it :)
i cannot return it, it has more than a year! :(
it only works when i turn the air conditioner on, and no, the processor is not overheating. so strange.
i use it mostly for 3d rendering, so i leave it running for hours at 100% processor speed, many times a week, i usually left it running at night with the air conditioner off without any problem before, but now i have leave the air conditioner on when i leave the computer on at night. It still shuts down with the A/C on but much less frequently.
South bridge maybe?, that thing has abmyssal cooling
any site explaining in details bios & overclocking z68 e4g3?

many thanks.
The VRMs and/or PCH on the board are more than likely overheating. You will need to remove the mainboard cooling and replace the thermal pads/TIM. Phobya make excellent thermal pads and Arctic MX4 is great as far as TIM goes.Quote:
