Review: ASRock Z590 Extreme
This Z590 motherboard from ASRock should be Extreme, as that's in the naming. Realistically this socket LGA1200 and Z590 chipset-based product is a bit more 'normal' than others in terms of features. And that shows in pricing as we leave the 500 USD marker behind us, and drop to 200 USD/EUR.

I did have a z77 extreme4,had voltage reading bug,you could've easily degraded your cpu over time
that said,they had plenty of great mobos
z97 formula,z370 fatal1ty was a beast in terms of value.
same for x370/470 taichi boards
some of their z490 offerings were a disaster and I hope they learned.
Amazing and I thought that ASRock would try harder to really be competing with the big boys. Looks like the ASRock marketing department talked somebody again into the wrong direction? I actually never met anyone who owned a ASRock mobo except for the dealers at the local 'computer show' trying to make package deals with them. Which by itself gave many potential buyers and enthusiasts cold feet. The first word out of everyone's mouth: "There must be something wrong with these?" I dearly wish that ASROCK would finally step up to the bar 'after all these years' and giving the likes of Asus and Gigabyte some real high-grade competition. So that Asus for example be forced to sell their new Z590 Hero XIII for $350. But I instinctively know that his will never happen or until hell freezes over.

Not sure if I would again choose ASRock boards, went through three ASRock X99 boards and every one left bad taste in my mouth
Great boards with great features, just no way you can see what System Agent you are running on X99 ASRock boards which I think killed my 5960x few times, then literally I encountered every day at least one BSOD
With X570 I went with Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero although I wanted to get ASRock Taichi board but decided against it
New ASRock Extreme series boards not sure but I don't like them
Hope this helps
Thanks, Jura

Well...I rooted for AMD in the early days as I was convinced they could do better. It was a big hope but the hope became a reality. It surely raised hell with Intel and thus benefitted the consumer to no end. ASRock to me is in the same boat and my hopes that they will finally 'step up to the 5-star bar' runs strong. Perhaps it will take someone like NVIDIA to buy them out and pouring some real cash into ASRock's product development? I am sure that we all need at least one more 'real and premium' mobo competitor against Asus, MSI and Gigabyte.

Isn't that exactly the OPPPOSITE of Asrock philosophy and the market they are targeting.

Looks like the ASRock marketing department talked somebody again into the wrong direction? A Walmart direction.

Which by itself gave many potential buyers and enthusiasts crowding the 8-foot folding tables cold feet.

So that Asus for example be forced to sell their new Z590 Hero XIII for $350. Just perhaps ASRock will get the message when later this year all mobo manufacturers will be given an annual "doubledip oppertunity" and getting to proffer their 12th Gen products. But I instinctively know that this will never happen with ASRock to turning around in a mere 6-months time and stunning the world at large with a real premium board delivery. As such a 12th Gen Hero XIV this coming November may be costing $700. See you then!
