Asrock P67 Extreme4 UEFI & Drivers thread [Extreme6 & Pro3 owners welcome]

[Ket]

Has anyone tried sleeping? When I suspend to sleep and then resume I get an awful lot of system interrupts. Approx 20% cpu usage. Doing a trace throws up a few offenders - but the usb is also one of them. I generally don't sleep anyway as the system boots in 20-30s secs with a SSD. Just something that bugs me a bit.

Also while I am on the whinge. Sound quality. I may have ultra sensitive speakers/receiver but it seems when all sound is off (not mute but no music) I've got some one gently blowing down my speakers. And when I run benches - I get thrums and drones at a very low level. They aren't sensitive to volume but are a constant low level noise - suggesting a ground issue.

I am nitpicking as I am byfarandaway very happy with my EX4 and would recommend it to any and all.

For the sound issue, try throwing a aluminium / copper HS on the sound chip, it'll help eliminate electronic cross-talk.

Here you can find a modded version of Asrock's F-Stream Tuning, with enabled Extreme4 and Extreme6 support.

Special Thanks to bat4

Tip: Install it with mouse already attached on "Fatal1ty Mouse Port"

Any chance that skin can be changed? It looks like something out of the 80s

Returned the Pro3 and got the Fatal1ty. Was considering UD4 but Asrock is bang for buck with features that the more expensive mobos have.

Personally, I would return the fatality and get the Extreme6. Extreme6 has 99.9% the same stuff as the fatality with the added bonus on using better cooling (read: more efficient), is considerably cheaper, and you don't have to look at that ugly mug every time you go into the UEFI. IMO, the Extreme6 is just a better board and a better choice.
