Board Software

Like the BIOS, the software package offered is fairly basic, but ASRock does have a rather large suite of software that other brands simply don't have, like ASRock's XFastRam that allows you to make a ramdrive with spare system RAM. Clock- and voltage controls and a bunch of other things are all contained within the AXTU tool, making it a powerful tool for those that like to tweak their system from within the OS. There's also a tool to change audio settings and a tool to get the most out of the EtronTech USB 3.0 controllers.


The driver disc also includes standard Intel software and a control panel for the LSI RAID controller that hides under the PCH cooler.


ASRock really has everything you need here, and I expect nothing less from a high-end flagship product. I'm very glad ASRock got this part right, and it seems like they got the rest of the board right as well.
