**Official** Asrock Z68 Gen3 Extreme7 & Extreme4 thread

[bat4]

No issues I've noticed on the Z68 I have, but its not one of the Gen3 boards. I've also had a chance to try the new Etron beta driver (1.105.394.1) and so far I'm impressed with it, the devices support got broken with are now working a treat again.

Well, you are using Windows 7 64 bit, I am using Windows 7 32 bit, the Etron drivers for these are two different worlds, they behave differently.

I have reduced the multiplier for my graphic card from x16 to x8 and it seems the rear ports now at least recognize what I am plugging in. With the graphic card running at x16, the rear ports don't recognize anything. I have also powered from another cable the graphic card.

I have added to my system a PCI-E card with two USB 3.0 ports, with the NEC/RENESAS PD720200 controller. Man, it just works! No issues, no beta drivers, no BSOD, no lag, no disconnections, no ignored support requests.

Etron could not fix the issues in 9 months time, I can't wait more.

I have already ordered a new Asus mainboard. Maybe I will keep the Asrock mainboard as a backup or sell it.
