Z77 Extreme6.

Way better VRMs.

It's what feeds your CPU.

thank you for the great info.

Yup, biggest difference is that the Extreme6 uses higher quality MOSFETs in the VRM section of the board. Basically that it'll supply cleaner power to the CPU.

Maybe this will help you out just read this review. AJ.

It will also explain the difference in the VRM's section as well!

Edit: Well spotted ED thanks!

Thats not an OCF review, note. But a user that just posts his reviews here (and not much else). That said, it is quality work.

The extreme6 seems like a winner.

If you buy the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 right now on Newegg you get 8GB of crucial memory for $0 as a bonus. That's pretty sweet.

i have E6. like it so far, only thing thats off is that if youre doing any kind of OCing the vcore is off. you need a DMM to check the exact voltage going into the board. Regardless thats with both E6 and E4. So i guess i didnt help your choice

 

[aaron6817]

Free ram for the E6 also. i'm trying to wait for my local microcenter to get the board back in stock.
