What we don't like about ASRock X99 Extreme11

  • Extremely high price point, making it an enthusiast-only or enterprise-grade purchase

  • Limited number of 4-pin PWM fan headers (only two provided)
  • Lack of integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity
  • Lean bundled accessory package compared to other flagship competitors
  • E-ATX form factor and busy layout near the socket may cause installation challenges in smaller cases

Verdict

The ASRock X99 Extreme11 is a workstation-grade LGA 2011-3 motherboard featuring an integrated LSI SAS 3008 controller that supports up to 18 SATA3/SAS3 ports and dual Ultra M.2 slots for massive storage throughput. It boasts a 12-phase power design, 4-Way SLI/CrossFireX support at full x16/x16/x16/x16 bandwidth via dual PLX PEX 8747 chips, and dual Intel Gigabit LAN. While its storage and PCIe expandability are unmatched, main drawbacks include its high premium price point, an oversized E-ATX form factor that limits case compatibility, and the audible noise from the integrated chipset cooling fan.
