jconway1968 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I had such great response from the folks over in the OS support forum that I thought I would try my luck over here... I'm in the process of switching from the MSI z77a-g41 to the ASRock z77 Extreme 4 (for obvious overclocking reasons). here are my specs: i7 3770K Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (//www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099) G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231455) Kingston Hyper X 120GB SSD (for OS and virus protection) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239049) Crucial M4 512GB SSD for games and Photoshop, etc... (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148527) Seagate 2T for everything else (photos, video, music) Zotac GTX 680, 4GB (Amp edition) (http://www.todaystechonline.com/gaming/pr-zotac-announces-gtx-680-amp-4gb-gtx-680/) Either onboard sound or Zonar DX (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132006&Tpk=xonar%20dx) Looking for the best overclocking solution for CPU and Ram as well as any other tips/tricks for the rest of my hardware on the new ASRock board Thanks in advance...

d6bmg Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I'm in the process of switching from the MSI z77a-g41 to the ASRock z77 Extreme 4 (for obvious overclocking reasons). here are my specs: Have you bought Extreme 4 already? If not, then don't Going from G41 to extreme 4 can't be considered as an upgrade, its more of a side grade. And above all, extreme4 have problem with its LLC. I've heard many complaints regarding that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconway1968 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Wow!!! I had not heard about this. Although I am fairly new to overclocking and can't say I even knew what LLC was before reading a few posts about it. I've only seen good reviews on this board and that it is, indeed, a pretty big leap from the msi board I have. I'm wondering what other people think???
