Socket LGA 1155 Z77 board

The ASRock Z77 Extreme4 is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z77 chipset for second and third generation Core i7, i5 and i3 processors. It delivers a full feature set for enthusiasts who want to keep an existing LGA 1155 platform running at high speeds.

Suits overclockers on DDR3; not for newer CPUs

This board suits builders who already own a compatible LGA 1155 processor and fast DDR3 memory up to 2800 MT/s overclocked. It will not accept any CPU that requires a different socket or a newer chipset, so anyone moving to a current platform should look elsewhere.

Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports decide storage capacity

The Z77 chipset provides four native SATA 6 Gb/s connectors plus two additional SATA 3 Gb/s ports, all supporting RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. If your build needs more than four 6 Gb/s drives you will need an add-in controller.

Questions about this item

Does the board ship with an I/O shield and SATA cables, or must they be bought separately?

The motherboard includes an I/O shield and SATA cables in the box; no separate purchase is required for those items.

Should I pick DDR3 1600 or 2800+(OC) modules for this Z77 Extreme4?

Choose DDR3 1600 for plug-and-play stability; 2800+(OC) modules run at 1600 until you enable the XMP profile in BIOS.

What does the 2800+(OC) memory rating mean once the board is installed?

It indicates the highest overclocked DDR3 speed the board can reach with compatible modules and manual BIOS tuning; default speed is 1600.
