Test: ASRock Z170 Extreme6

Konklusion

Generelt synes jeg rigtig godt om bundkortet og dets funktioner, især Win 7 Patcher og Hyper BCLK engine tiltaler mig, for ikke at glemme den fantastiske software der følger med ved siden af. Jeg må dog indrømme at jeg havde forventet et par flere funktioner, sammen med en større tilbehørs pakke.
 

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Vi kommer ikke udenom at bundkortet har Intel's nyeste chipset, hvilket tilbyder en masse gode funktioner og opgraderinger vi bestemt kan bruge til noget, men ASRock har også smidt deres egne funktioner på, og introduceret et par nye.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 2
Her bliver jeg nødt til at give 2. Grunden er at jeg ikke ser Extreme6 som en skrabet udgave, og kigger vi på prisen synes jeg heller ikke at den afspejler et skrabet bundkort. Der er absolut intet at komme efter, da der kun er det mest nødvendige i kassen.

Design/Layout - 4
Bundkortet får her 4, da specielt PCI-e layoutet er begrænset af chipsettet, og en PLX chip er dyr at få på et bundkort. Jeg er også meget glad for designet af bundkortet. Farverne står ganske fint sammen og kan fint vises frem i et kabinet med vindue.

Software/BIOS - 4
Designet af BIOS'en har jeg altid godt kunnet lide fra ASRock, desværre kan EZ tilstanden godt være lidt forvirrende, især til dem som tilstanden er tiltænkt: Nybegynderne. Jeg kan desuden rigtig godt lide ASRock's A-Tuning software da den tilbyder rigtig mange muligheder for at indstille systemet i Windows.

Ydelse - 3
Jeg synes det er lidt svært at placere ydelsen her, generelt er bundkortet bagud i forhold til det sammenlignede ASUS, men om ASUS generelt bare er rigtig godt ved vi faktisk ikke. Det er dog ikke unormalt at der efter et stykke tid at en platform er udkommet at der kommer nye BIOS versioner der øger ydelsen en smule.

Pris - 3
Denne kategori synes jeg er lidt svær. Bundkortet synes jeg koster meget når man tager et kig på hvad der faktisk følger med i pakken, men med det sagt så får man stadig et rigtig godt bundkort til Intel's nye Skylake platform med rigtig god software, så vi ender i midten.

 

UK summary

Overall, I think very well about the motherboard and its functions, especially Win 7 Patcher and Hyper BCLK engine appeals to me, not to forget the amazing software included with alongside. I must admit that I expected a few more features, along with a greater accessory package.

Innovation/Technology - 4
We can not deny that the motherboard has Intel's latest chipset, which offers a lot of good features and upgrades we certainly can use, but ASRock has also thrown their own functions, and introduced a few new ones.

Bundle/Accessories - 2
Here I have to give 2. The reason is that I do not see Extreme6 like a stripped down version, and when we look at the price, I think not that it reflects a tight motherboard. There is absolutely nothing to come by, since only the most necessary are in the box.

Design/Layout - 4
The motherboard gets here 4 as especially the PCI-e layout is limited by the chipset, and a PLX chip is expensive to get on a motherboard. I am also very happy for the design of the motherboard. Colors do quite well together and can easily be showcased in a cabinet with window.

Software/BIOS - 4
The design of the BIOS I have always liked from ASRock, unfortunately EZ mode can be a little confusing, especially to those which mode is intended for: beginners. I also really like ASRock's A-Tuning software as it offers many options to set the system in Windows.

Performance - 3
I think it's a little hard to place performance here. Generally, the motherboard lags behind the compared the ASUS motherboard, but if ASUS in general just is really good, we actually do not. However, it is not unusual that after a while that a platform has been released, the emergence of new BIOS versions that enhance the performance a bit.

Price - 3
This category I think is a little difficult. The motherboard I think cost a lot when you take a look at what actually comes with the package, but with that said you get still a really good motherboard for Intel's new Skylake platform with really good software, so we end up in the middle.
