Fazit

Allgemein   + -
The Extreme 6 generally is a well equipped and interesting board. You'll find everything needed in order to build a powerful and reliable system. Meanwhile ASRock is one of the manufacturers which have their own and unique design, that is really nice and differs substantially from their competitors.   - Design  
       
Layout   + -

Generally the ASRock Extreme 6s layout is very well thought. Once more very practical are the angled SATA connectors. There are also practical power/reset buttons onboard as well as a debug LED. Unfortunately the last expansion slots is a full size PCI Express port, which means that if you choose to install a dual slots graphics card at this place you're going to cover the connectors at the bottom edge of the board. On the other hand there are two slots between the PCIe-x16 slots which means that an SLI or CrossFire setup will get a perfect environment when it comes to cooling. We also liked that ASRock chose to equip this motherboard with no less then six fan headers. Like this every setup can be cooled adequately and the fan headers are furthermore well positioned and therefore easy accessible.

  - Angled SATA connectors
- Two slots between first two PCIe-x16 slots
- Power/Reset/Clr-CMOS Button
- 6 fan headers
 
- Full-Size PCI-Express as last slot
