ASRock
These days ASRock is the manufacturer
that expands their portfolio the quickest. Small wonder we could find their
entire Z77 line up as well as all their X79 motherboards pinned to the wall. One
of the highlights was their Extreme11 board which is based on Intels socket X79.
This will be ASRocks new flagship model. Furthermore there also was a mini ITX
Z77 board and we're very curious how this thing will perform compared to ASUS
upcoming mini ITX Z77 Board.
MSI
At
MSI we've seen the same as with the other manufacturers of motherboards. The
people in charge decided to display all new Z77 boards. Furthermore there also
were some Z77 boards as well as Radeon HD 7970 Lightning graphics card. This
card comes with an interesting new feature regarding the power design. Directly
on the backside of the GPU one can find an additional module which carries some
more phases to provide even more stability under overclocked conditions. The
only problem with the thing is, that when you want to prepare this card for
extreme overclocking, then this additional thing will definitely be in the way.
