ASRock Motherboard Motherboards Z370 Gaming K6

Upgraded to this with an i5 8600k and 16GB Corsair RGB Vengeance ram from an i7 2600k. This is a very beautiful motherboard that has everything you could possibly need. The temperature of everything on board it is extremely good with minimal air cooling. The other reviews complained of DOA ram slots so I tested them all and they all worked, easily hitting 3600mhz. Everything works perfectly except for the following: -When I first set it up to test it before assembling the parts, I kept getting a boot loop until I updated the firmware through the bios, which shouldn't have been a problem to begin with. -Also, the CPU backplate was dirty and slightly rusted, the VRM cover was chipped and the PCB was dirty. (See pictures, note I didn't touch it, straight out of the box.) I thoroughly cleaned them and everything was clean afterwards except the backplate and the VRM heatsink. -My previous motherboard was a z68 Gigabyte, it had dolby software, and to say that Soundblaster is a downgrade is an understatement, I was so ridiculously disappointed with the sound that I considered returning it. Here are the problems I had: 1- The Realtek drivers supported by this motherboard can't differentiate between front and rear inputs, it simply marks both as Speakers and the option to mute one or the other is simply gone. So to use your rear input device, you have to unplug your front input device. I had to uninstall the new Realtek drivers and use the Windows one for them to be recognized again so it's clearly a software problem. This could have been easily solved by a software update or an ac97 port. 2- The Soundblaster "Improvements" did absolutely nothing, furthermore, plugging headphones alongside speakers produced a lot of static and noise. I just removed both of them and used Windows audio drivers in the end, which also stopped the motherboard's RGB music mode from working. I sorely miss my Gigabyte's Dolby equalizer and its features.

One of the best Z370 MoBos available for overclocking (12 phase V-regs, what more can you ask for?) Tons of features, easy to set up BIOS, good stock cooling/heatsinks, nice to look at, just a great board.

I bought this motherboard for a NAS/Gateway build. I initially had some problems with the RAM, but the rest of the build went smoothly. Ubuntu didn't need a single driver tweak to get everything working. Why 4 stars? The documentation for the POST codes is almost nonexistent. Apparently 4C means it saw the RAM but rejected it for some reason. I just randomly swapped around modules until they all worked. The Internet says this is a common problem. While the motherboard does support hot swap SATA (enabled in the BIOS), it only supports it for 6/8 SATA connectors. Likewise many of the other peripherals in the feature list should have footnotes next to them. There are five fan connectors. Four of them allowed me to control the fan speed. Only one of the NICs work with UEFI. Overall happy with the motherboard.

This board had everything we wanted for my Son's Gamin/Programing computer. Matched with a Samsung 970 m.2 and a i7 8700k. This machine is rocking.

Actually very disappointed. This motherboard was installed into the computer I am using now and I was unaware to the fact that the RAM slots were all dead but the A1 slot. I thought the ram sticks I had bought were all DOA besides the one that worked in the one slot, I was entirely wrong as I found out after going through the RMA process with Gskill for the replacements. Be careful as well, a large tower cooler will not be able to be installed on this computer as the RAM have blocked mine, I attemped to install a dual fan Phanteks CPU cooler, I was forced to use the little stock cooler for my CPU for the time being. Considering the reveiws on this motherboard I regret buying the product and spending almost $200 on this. The "Dr. Debug" has plenty of codes to help you figure out what the problem is if there is one, however it is still not very informative. Admittedly I didnt look too hard, however I did not see any documentation as to what each code would be on the paperwork given for the board. I had to refer to an online forum to which took me a second to comprehend that they have a RANGE for what a hardware problem error code is referencing as none of the numbers off of the Dr. Debug were exactly lining up. Wasted my time and money. Link to RAM that "Didn't work" G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) Ripjaws V Series DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz for Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-8GVKB Link to CPU cooler that does not fit: Phanteks CPU Cooler with 5 x 8mm Dual Heat-pipes, 140mm Premium Fans and PWM Adaptor, Patented P.A.T.S Coating, PH-TC14PE_BK (Black)

Six months down the road from purchase it's working solidly with no issues. Would definitely buy again.

I upgraded from an Asus Gene V. Paired this with an 8700k. Overclocked to 4.8 with a Noctua heat sync. Voltages running about 1.3. The 12 phase vrm is a nice feature. I could probably get to 5 with an aio water cooler. Only complaint is that it doesn’t offer as much flexibility as the asus board in offset mode.

had to replace a broken one of these motherboards. New board will not power on. All parts (power supply, ram, video card, drives) worked on old board (cpu socket pins got damaged), checked case power switch, tested on multimeter as working, tried jumping power switch pins on motherboard with small screwdriver, same result. LEDs on motherboard are on so it's getting power to it, defect in power switch circuit in board probably. UPDATE 8/4/18- replacement board works fine. have read a lot of recent reviews of this board on other sites and the not powering on seems to be the most common fault.

Cette carte mère est vraiment très bien (associée a un i7 8700 dans mon cas) : 8 ports Sata, 2 slots M2, port usb C, 3.1, ... Mais attention si vous utilisez les slots M2 qui sont d’ailleurs compatibles NVMe (5 fois plus rapide que du SSD classique, dans mon cas 2523 Mo/s avec un Samsung 960 EVO au lieu d'environ 500 Mo/s avec un SDD standard), car chaque slot M2 utilisé "inhibe" 2 ports SATA ! Donc avec 1 slot M2 utilisé vous n'aurez que 6 ports Sata utilisables ! Et si 2 slots M2 utilisés alors plus que 4 ports Sata ! A part cela rien à dire, c'est une super cartes (mon fils à acheté la même).

CPU: intel Core i7-8700K Cooler: LEPA LPWAC240-HF RAM: Crucial W4U2666BME-8G M/B:これ GPU: GIGABYTE GV-N960WF2OC-2GD-GA 電源: CoolerMaster V550 Semi-Modular SSD: Sandisk Extreme PRO 240GB, Samsung 840PRO 128GB HDD: WesternDigital WD10EZEX, WD30EZRZ 使い慣れているASRockから選択。あまり予算が割けないのと、同社のExtreme4と比較して結構迷ったが、少しだけ作りが豪華なこっちに。 ただ上下ランクの2つが露骨に値下がりしてるのもあり、他の方も仰る様に立ち位置は半端かもしれないかな…Taichiなら無線LAN付くしね。 ちなみに自分が注文した時点（12/4）では代理店はCFDだった。BIOSバージョンは1.20→1.30にアップデート。 デバッグLEDがあると変な挙動をしても原因特定が楽になるので、役立つ機会は少ないものの自作ガチ勢でない自分にはあると有難い。 付属のマニュアルでコード表が参照可能。 装飾のLEDはBIOS上で色・点滅パターンが色々設定できる。個人的にはしっくりこなかったので、現状OFFで運用。 UEFIではそこそこ細かいファンコントロールができる。再起動しなくても設定変更したその場で反映してくれるのは優秀。 ただCHA FAN1,2は3pinの電圧制御に対応しているが、CPU FAN/OPT FANはPWMのみとASUS程融通が利かないので配線に少し困った。 F-Stream Tuning（ユーティリティーソフト）は入れていないが、おそらくこっちで制御できると思われる。 あと同社のX99 Professional Gaming i7ではBIOSで設定変更しなくても必ず電源を一旦落とすのが嫌だったが、この板はそんな挙動もなく改善されたらしい。 電源周りはフェーズ数が12と他社より多め。最近は各社フェーズ数を盛るのはトレンドじゃないようだが、 某海外レビューだと熱分散に一定の効果はちゃんとあるらしいのでASRockには引き続き質実剛健路線を貫いてもらいたい。 （最も同じ12フェーズでもEx4/K6とTaichi/Professional～では基盤パターンが違うため、使用部品で差をつけている可能性もあるかも） 現在は4.9GHz(AVX 4.8GHz)で電圧1.280Vで運用中。ヒートパイプのお陰か、ブン回してもヒートシンクは指で触れても平気な温度を維持している。 組んで1か月経ちましたがノントラブル。長く安定して使えたらいいな～と期待して★5評価。

Ottima MB Z370 Asrock, acquistata sopratutto per la nota possibilità di overclock e stabilità. In aggiunta con un i7 8700k e ddr4 da 3200mhz si ha la possibilità di avere un ottimo sistema per gamers o professionisti. La board ha molti vantaggi, tra cui 2 connettori interni usb 3 e uno usb 3.1. Oltre ai soliti 6 sata ha altre 2 sata utilissimi per gli hdd hot-plug, due lan intel rj45, vga/hdmi/dvi-d,gestione dei leds, doppio bios uefi che in caso di settaggi errati la mb parte con il bios di backup. Eccezxionali le funzionalità del bios che permette di modificare moltissimi parametri cpu/ddr4. Personalmente overclocckato a 5.2ghz senza blocchi, ma bisogna avere un ottimo dissipatore. Consigliatissima

i<m sure that motherboard would have been perfect for me i would be rocking whit asrock sadly amazon mess up the order did make me lose significant time since i got no printer at home 30 minute walk than 30 return at house than 10 minute to carry the package to poste office by walking in the snow and the clerck tell me he don<t see anything in the system about the bar code they give me trust me was not happy and say it loud a second time tell all my story than ask that representative make a new label since first time did not work he just send me back the same dam label did worked for unknow reason at least got a refund and no computer to build because of amazon avoid always for any hardware of computer they just don<t know what there doing seem they just don<t worth my 1000$ a years i spend in electronique check pcpartpicker to get better price.This was a review about the great problematic of amazon servivce do not take there credit card also since they always change whit who they work and they own me 60$ still to this date. hope it help you see clear that they don<t have a perfect model that been say you can always get someone fast to tell your bad story afterward.

Tocha, buena calidad, y estable.
