ASRock Z390 Extreme4

"The Extreme4 has been a mainstay in ASRock’s portfolio for many generations and it’s a model which we’ve continued to focus on throughout the years. In the past this model has been synonymous with excellent price-to-performance and we’re pleased to confirm that this concept continues with the Intel Z390 chipset.

Many of the same features have been carried over from the Z370 Extreme4 to this Z390 model. There are steel reinforced PCI Express slots, support for up to 4300MHz DDR4 and a good mixture of storage functionality with up to eight SATA 3 (6GB/s) ports and twin M.2 slots – one even arrives with a full coverage heatsink.

A careful comparison of other models featuring the Intel Z390 chipset will identify Extreme4 as a good value for money solution. Other motherboards are adorned with the same features and yet cost considerably more." - Vortez.net

"Many people don't want to spend over $200 on a motherboard for their CPU, and if you are one of those people the Z390 Extreme4 might be the perfect motherboard for you. It offers a very large variety of features, and decent quality design all-in-one.

The motherboard also looks pretty good, with heat sinks and shields, and it includes built-in RGB LEDs as well as headers for both RGB LEDs and addressable RGB LEDs. If you are in the market for a Z390 motherboard with a lot of value, give the Z390 Extreme4 a look." - TweakTown.com
