ASRock, one of the world’s leading vendors of motherboards and computer platforms, has recently expanded its product offering with the introduction of yet another X58-based motherboard, adding to the company's already launched X58 'SuperComputer' and 'Deluxe' models. The new solution, dubbed X58 Extreme, has already been showcased at Computex and is expected to make its way on the shelves of retailers worldwide. As with the other Core i7 platforms, the new motherboard is ready to provide users with support for the latest hardware components on the market.

The ASRock X58 Extreme is clearly intended for high-end users and computer enthusiasts, as it's built to support Intel's fastest processors to date, as well as multi-GPU technologies from both NVIDIA and AMD. The board boasts an advanced V8 Power Phase Design, Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) memory, CrossFireX and SLI technologies as well as ASRock's Smart BIOS, OC Tuner and Intelligent Energy Saver features.

As with other X58 platforms, the system is ready for Intel's latest Core i7 CPU, including the newly released Core i7 975. There are six, triple-channel DDR3 memory DIMMs with support for up to 24GB of memory, three PCI-Express x16 graphics slots for high-end graphics and 6 SATA II connectors. Among some of the unique features that ASRock has enabled on its latest platform, we must highlight the Hybrid Booster, which includes a CPU Frequency Stepless Control, the ASRock U-COP and the Boot Failure Guard (B.F.G.).

Unfortunately, there are no details available regarding the board's pricing and availability, but it should make its way on the shelves of local retailers very soon, adding to the company's growing line of Core i7-supporting platforms. With the launch of the latest model, ASRock looks to provide its customers with a complete line of Intel-based platforms.
