As we begin to explore the features of the Z77 Extreme4, it quickly becomes apparent that ASRock has taken full advantage of everything the Z77 platform has to offer, and then some. ASRock has developed there own feature they call “XFast 555”, which includes XFast RAM, XFast LAN, and XFast USB. ASRock claims 5X faster speeds in the areas these features target.

XFast RAM creates a RAM disk (or sometimes called a virtual disk) from the system memory. While this concept is not a new idea, the way ASRock has implemented it with a GUI is new. ASRock’s own internal testing has shown Photoshop to run five times faster using this feature.

XFast LAN can lower latencies during specific tasks through the setting of priorities. The XFast LAN GUI Makes it easy to add programs or games to the list of items you can give priority status to. With little information available on exactly how this feature works, we have to rely on ASRock’s explanation. ASRock states “XFast USB software modifies part of the USB driver, allowing it to multi-task and enhance the performance”. The GUI for XFast USB allows you to easily toggle the feature on or off.

ASRock motherboard supports Lucid Virtu Universal MVP technology that improves your PC’s visuals with faster response times, improved video processing, and smoother media playback, all with low power consumption. Intel® Smart Connect Technology keeps content always up-to-date! It means that your email, favorite apps, and social networks are continually and automatically updated even when the system is asleep. Intel® Rapid Start Technology gets your device up and running faster from even the deepest sleep, saving time and battery life. It quickly returns where you left off with a PC that goes from deep-sleep to full awake in a flash. Intel® Smart Response Technology accelerates the system response experience by putting frequently-used blocks of disk data on a solid-state drive (SSD), providing dramatically faster access to user data than the hard disk alone can provide. Users may prevent motherboard damages due to dampness by enabling “Dehumidifier Function”. When enabling Dehumidifier Function, the computer will power on automatically to dehumidify the system after entering S4/S5 state. Fast, Easy and Free – ASRock OMG technology allows you to establish an internet curfew or restrict internet access at specified times. Administrators are able to schedule the starting and ending hours of internet access granted to other users. Normally, ISPs (Internet Service Provider) will charge for internet curfew service. Internet Flash searches for available UEFI firmware updates from ASRock servers. System can auto-detect the latest UEFI from our servers and flash them within UEFI setup without entering Windows® OS. Overclocking is no longer for K-series CPU users only. For those CPUs that aren’t K-series, ASRock No-K OC can unleash your CPU’s power by boosting its frequency with just one click. Top-Class Quality Guaranteed. Premium Gold Caps are luxury capacitors. These 100% Japan-made solid capacitors are sleek, high gloss caps with a premium gold coating providing long life and stable performance. More Precise, More Efficient. By adopting digital pulse-width modulation (PWM), the ASRock motherboard can provide CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly. Compared to analog PWM, digital PWM can optimize the CPU power solution and provide a proper and stable Vcore for the processor. This motherboard is designed with a 8 + 4 Power Phase design. It features sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus, it offers unmatched overclocking capability and enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well. This motherboard unlocks maximum memory performance, coming with 4 DIMM slots for dual-channel memory, supporting up to DDR3 2800+ (OC) MHz! The ASRock motherboards support the Next-Gen PCI-E 3.0! PCI Express 3.0 can maximize the bandwidth for the next-gen PCI Express 3.0 VGA cards providing ultimate graphics performance. Intel® HD Graphics simplifies your designs by eliminating additional discrete graphics hardware, while integrating stunning visuals and performance for immersive gaming. THX TruStudio is specially designed to bring the same great audio experience found in live performances, films, and recording studios to the PC. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a revolutionary BIOS utility which offers tweak-friendly options in an advanced viewing interface. Compared with traditional BIOS design, the latest UEFI utility provides lots improved functions. UEFI system browser is a useful tool included in graphical UEFI. It can detect the devices and configurations that users are currently using in their PC. With the UEFI system browser, you can easily examine the current system configuration in UEFI setup. ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one software to fine tune different features in a user-friendly interface, which includes Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA, IES and XFast RAM. The ultimate solutions to enhance your media experience. From music management, music creation, video editing to photo management. Simply do more with your media than you ever thought possible.

The ASRock Z77 Extreme4 comes boxed in the typical manner most manufacturers use now days; accessories on top with the motherboard below. The black and gold theme applied to the box is secondary to the large “XFast 555” emblem splashed across the front of the carton. It’s not hard to tell that ASRock wants the world to know how proud they are of their XFast 555 software. The back of the box again gives the XFast 555 features top billing, but also goes into more detail in regards to other features the Z77 chipset offers. The box sides have additional branding and brief mention of the major specifications.
