Suit yourself.
Next 2 weeks my Extreme6 will be here, so i subcribe this thread to follow all news :D
!st Question: Do TRUE Black fits on this board? Im not sure for that pipes and cooling system of Extreme6.
thank you i found it on the asrock support/tech forum....anyone using a hyper 212 plus? i mounted my 9500 zalman and on the back of this board is that plate holding the cpu mount in and im not too comfortable with the way its on there so im looking for a good cooler that will do a good job as well as fit in my antec 900 case.
xtreme6 are others where bios 1.6 teases by oc
not sure i followQuote:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=P67 Extreme4&o=BIOS
hit f6 during boot up (double boot btw) and it just bypasses the screen and windows starts up...? please help
ok i got it to go into the flash utility screen (instant flash) but it doesnt recognize the flash drive
flashed bios now it starts to boot to the windows log and gets a quick blue screen and reboots itself...this after i just flashed to 1.6
It will fit but you will need to cut a few notches into the bracket. I would go into more detail... but I'm kinda hung over atm :p:Quote:

I use Hyper 212+ with Extreme4 and CM Elite 370 case without problems. Idle CPU temp is around 34 deg C.Quote:

Thanks for the insight! Sounds like 1.6A & be done! The saved profiles aren't that big of a deal. However, I have been able to force post by depressing the onboard reset button and the delete key at the same time. :up:
had to reinstall windows again! wow what a quirky board,been building computers for a long time always used asus and never a glitch...anyways i dont c 1.6a on the list of bios updates...anyone have a link to it?
yea i read that on a review on newegg...which bracket?Quote:

Funny that because none of us are having your issues.. Why did you stray from Asus?Quote:

Z68 is coming.
You can download Z68 Extreme4 manual from:
ftp://174.142.97.10/manual/Z68%20Extreme4.pdf
The strange thing: lack of electrical SPDif Output (only optical) and no appropriate header on-board. Why not the other way?
Good things:
Virtu d-Mode is supported which means you can hook your lcd to discrete card and get Intel transcoding at the same time. It seams Asrock bought the right license version.
Stranger yet: why implement all 4 display connectors? I'd think that one Displayport and one DVI would be plenty.Quote:

Precisely. Both DVI-D and Displayport can be passively converted to VGA or HDMI (and Displayport to single-link DVI-D). That'd free up a complete stack and give space for additional USB, a second Ethernet, or that S/PDIF Coax port.Quote:
