The ASRock Z77 OC Formula is a very good motherboard; it however is not the best that we have come into contact with. Given its $239.99 price point with Free Prime Shipping and its very rich enthusiast oriented feature set, we do very much like it. Quite...
With the new Z77 OC Formula, ASRock is trying to detach from the older, regular motherboard designs and step-up by proposing a build on a new layout, with many of the legacy components removed and an UEFI interface with a lot of options available. U...
When the Z77 OC Formula was first shown to the public at Computex 2012 (we covered it here), there was a small outcry on the basis of its name more than anything else. We already had the Gigabyte X58A-OC and ASUS Formula boards, so there was a large inkl...
The ASRock Z77 OC Formula's performance was what I would expect from a high end board priced attractively at $239.99. With a long list of features and accessories normally reserved for motherboards in the $400 price range, this should help propel the Z77 ...
Abstract: We’ve seen more than our share of motherboards sporting the Z77 chipset, but today we have a pair of Z77 boards--one each from ASRock and MSI--that are designed specifically for overclocking. Even better, both of these mainboards are actually mid-range...

So, what can I really say about the ASRock Z77 OC Formula? Really, not that much. The packaging is simply phenomenal, making an impact like no other. There are several unique features on the board itself, many of which will affect your system's ability...
When we started reviewing ASRock Z77 OC Formula mainboard, we weren’t prejudiced against it. ASRock mainboards are currently among the best in the market, but we were still somewhat alerted, to be honest. We have been witness to several situations whe...

Abstract: Expanded graphics card support, enhanced on-board features that include Thunderbolt on some models, and more-robust voltage control are all good reasons to consider paying a little extra for a higher-end motherboard. Today we examine five top choices. T...

When ASRock first offered to send me the Z77 OC Formula for review, I couldn’t be happier. I originally purchased the Z77 Extreme6 for my own personal use before writing the review on it, but I always kept looking at the OC Formula (or extreme9) that I...
Boy oh boy, look what was brought to the table today. As I mentioned in the first paragraph of this review, ASRock has teamed up with Nick Shih to bring a board bred for overclocking to the store shelves, and it appears they have achieved it. Robust pow...
