4-Way SLI/CrossFireX at PCIe 3.0 x16 Speed
Supported by 2 PLX PEX 8747 Bridge
PLX
PEX 8747 bridge is a PCIe Gen3 silicon chip. It brings solid PCIe 3.0
lanes for PCIe devices and is optimized to support high performance
graphics. Enthusiasts will appreciate the onboard two PLX PEX 8747
bridges. Via PLX PEX bridges, ASRock X79 Extreme11 can run multi-GPU
4-Way SLI/CrossFireX at PCIe Gen3 x16/x16/x16/x16 mode simultaneously.
8 SAS2/SATA3 (6 Gb/s) from LSI™ SAS 2308 PCIe 3.0 Controller
The
feature-rich X79 Extreme11 motherboard offers rich storage options. It
provides 10 SATA3 ports, 8 of which are SAS2 (6 Gb/s) ports sourced from
LSI™ SAS 2308 PCIe 3.0 controller. Via LSI™ MegaRAID
® utility, users can get high transfer speed 3.8 GB/s through 8 SSDs in RAID 0 mode.
ASRock X79 Extreme11
provides 8 x SAS2/SATA3 ports
(from LSI SAS 2308 PCIe 3.0 controller)
RAID 0 with 8 x SSD
Other X79 motherboard
provides 2 x SATA3 ports
(from Intel® X79 chipset)
RAID 0 with 2 x SSD
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. Luckily, ASRock
has a new High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps
between the PCB to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts
caused by humidity.
Intel® Smart Response
Intel
®
Smart Response Technology accelerates the system response experience by
putting frequently-used blocks of disk data on a solid-state drive
(SSD), providing dramatically faster access to user data than the hard
disk alone can provide. For users who are tempted to connect the SSD and
HDD on ASRock motherboard, Intel
® Smart Response Technology
can make the SSD become the "Cache of the HDD" to boost up the HDD
access speed. ASRock motherboards with Intel
® Smart Response Technology are able to drive 4X faster performance boost than a HDD-only system.
Creative Sound Core3D Audio with Premium Headset Amplifier
The
onboard Creative SoundCore 3D quad-core sound and voice processor
brings a truly immersive audio experience and supports CrystalVoice, EAX
1.0 to 5.0, etc. ASRock Premium Headset Amplifier (PHA) provides wider
bandwidth, higher slew rate with lower noise and distortion. It also
supports up to 250 Ohm high-end headsets, which delivers crisper audio
into the users ears.
Scout Mode™
Hear the enemy before they hear you
Scout
Mode™ technology is a proprietary technology that allows you to hear
your enemies from further away, giving you a distinct tactical advantage
in combat.
Dual-Stack MOSFET (DSM)
Dual-Stack
MOSFET (DSM) is an innovative new design of MOSFETs. The silicon die
area is increased by stacking two dies into a MOSFET. The larger the die
area, the lower Rds(on). Compared to traditional discrete MOSFET, DSM
can provide larger die area and lower Rds(on), so the power supply for
CPU Vcore is more efficient.
Premium Gold Caps
Top-Class Quality Guaranteed
Premium
Gold Caps are luxury capacitors. These 100% Japan-made solid capacitors
are sleek, high gloss caps with a premium gold coating representing
long life and stable performance.
Digi Power
More Precise, More Efficient
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.
24 + 2 Power Phase Design
This
motherboard is designed with a 24 + 2 Power Phase design. It features
sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus,
it offers unmatched overclocking capability and enhanced performance
with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well.
8 x DDR3 2500+ DIMM Supports Quad Channel Memory
This motherboard has 8 DIMM slots for Quad-Channel memory, supporting for 2500+(OC) MHz DDR3 memory!
Next-Gen PCI-E 3.0 Support
The
ASRock motherboards support the Next-Gen PCI-E 3.0! PCI Express 3.0 can
maximize the bandwidth for the next-gen PCI Express 3.0 VGA cards,
provide ultimate graphics performance.
Get PCI-E 3.0 Benefits
• Higher bit rate - 8.0GT/s
• Higher bandwidth per lane - 1GB/s
• Higher efficiency - 98.5% encoding efficiency
• 100% backward compatible with previous PCI-E 2.0 / 1.0 standard
| PCI-E architecture | Raw bit rate | Bandwidth per lane per direction | Encoding Efficiency |
| PCI-E 2.0 | 5.0GT/s | 500MB/s | 80% |
| PCI-E 3.0 | 8.0GT/s | 1GB/s | 98.5% |
Note:
PCI-E 3.0 requires both a supporting CPU and motherboard at the same time.
Currently Intel® Socket 2011 Sandy Bridge-E Processor doesn’t support PCI-E 3.0, but this motherboard is already PCI-E 3.0 hardware ready.
It depends on Intel® CPU to enable PCI-E 3.0. Please check Intel® website for information on future CPU updates and releases.
8 USB 3.0 (4 Front, 4 Back)
Rich
storage options! This motherboard offers 8 USB 3.0 (4 from onboard
header, 4 from rear I/O) and bundles an exclusive front USB 3.0 panel to
facilitate computing environment.
