[VR-Zone] ASRock's Z77 Extreme9 gets official, priced

The first of the super-premium Z77 motherboards has arrived, ASRock's Z77 Extreme9 and it comes with a price to match. As loaded with features as this motherboard is, it looks like ASRock missed out on one must have feature for this segment – or at least so it appears – namely Thunderbolt.

On a whole, not a bad board, but the pricing is a bit off-putting, albeit not much more than other super-premium motherboards. In Europe the board is retailing for around €320 (US$410/S$520), or about €20 more than a Core i7-3770K. That said, Asus' P8Z77-V Premium has also found its way online and should retail for around €400 (US$515/S$650), or about as much as a cheap computer these days.

It looks a lot like my Z68 extreme 7.
Not a perfect board, but very very good. Will be looking out for reviews on this baby.

Is that a mini-PCI-E...wireless card? :3
That's a strange thing to put on such a high-end card.

I was excited until I read the price. Granted the board is pretty amazing, but not that amazing.
