ASRock Z87 Extreme9/ac World's First Thunderbolt-certified Motherboard
If you've been following news of computing technologies, you've probably already noticed the presence of Thunderbolt technology. Now the maestros of motherboard manufacturing, ASRock is the world's first to add more of these wonderful Thunderbolt ports to the upcoming Intel 8 Series motherboards! What's more, the company's top-of-the-line Z87 Extreme9/ac motherboard is the world's first Intel 8 Series motherboard to pass the Intel Thunderbolt certification.
These Thunderbolt ports will come on ASRock's Z87 Extreme9/ac, which are allegedly arriving to the market very soon, along with dozens of other exciting new features, such as ASRock's A-Style. So, if you're looking forward to build a solid next gen desktop rig with insanely fast data transfer abilities and innovative new software or hardware features, keep your eyes open for this bad boy.

Id like to be on the new socket even if performance isn't that much of an improvement.
That being said, Thunderbolt is a technology looking for something to use it. It really is a solution for few people/devices so unless you have some real need for it, it's just marketing hype.
Expecting performance plus overclocking from 4770K is like expecting a violent vomit from a drunk friend right in your face. I know...
Loving the board, still waiting on a board to go with my block white with black highlight theme.
Let's hope they get the memo and make Raid5 possible, the only reason I didn't pick up an X79 E11 is the lack of Raid5.
Oh and also retarded latency given by PLX chips.
They probably implemented that half assed LSI controller just to have all those ports and the PLX chips just to cram everything they could on the platform.
The idea was nice but the implementation just came as a mix of too many things which made the strong points much more weaker.
Let's hope they will understand the message and show that on upcoming E11s because ASRock has gained my interest lately and this is tough to say by an ASUS fanboy.
