Prošle su se jeseni na tržištu pojavili novi, pomlađeni FX procesori, pa je to ponukalo i proizvođače matičnih ploča da malo osvježe svoju ponudu. U osnovi je naravno riječ i dalje o dobro poznatim 990FX modelima koje su odavno na tržištu, no sada su neke od njih dobile dodatke u obliku M.2 Gen2 utora, te još nekih sitnica kako bi koliko toliko održale korak s vremenom i sa sve modernijom konkurencijom. Prošli smo mjesec uz FXe procesore, testirali i ploču koja nosi naziv i brand gamera Fatal1ty-a, a ovaj mjesec se bavimo Extreme6 verzijom koja je zapravo vrlo slična, no uz dodatak podrške za 220W procesore i manjak Killer mrežne kartice. Ova podrška za 220W TDP modele je značila i kako ćemo konačno isprobati sada već davno predstavljeni FX-9370 procesor kojeg nismo imali prilike testirati. Nismo zapravo nikada ni testirali nekog od 220W TDP modela, pa će biti zanimljivo vidjeti što oni mogu pružiti u odnosu na FX-8xxx seriju.

Uz ploču dolazi i adekvatan bundle koji se sastoji o jedne ASRock SLI_Bridge_2S kartice, Quick Installation Guide-a, CD-a s aplikacijama i driverima (Drivers, Utilities, AntiVirus Software (Trial Version), Google Chrome Browser and Toolbar, Start8 (30 days trial), Orbweb.ME Professional (Win 8.1 / 7)), I/O zaštita, četiri SATA Data kabela i jedan M.2_SSD (NGFF) Socket 3 vijak. Nije bogato kao što su nas to Asus i Gigabyte naučili no u ovom cjenovnom rangu sasvim prihvatljivo.

Ploča je dizajnom i layoutom vrlo slična ranije testiranom Fatal1ty 990FX Killer modelu, s kojim dijeli sve ključne elemente i isti onaj sjajno crni PCB. Naravno, za ovu su priliku utori i hladnjaci promijenili boje, no ploča i dalje izgleda dovoljno atraktivno. Kao i kod Killer modela, i tu su prisutni neki zanimljivi detalji poput Hi-density napojnog konektora za procesor, 15 mikrona pozlatu na kontaktima za grafičke kartice i  dodatni SLI/CFX konektor za napajanje. Hladnjaci svaki za sebe (VRM, northbridge i southbridge), odrađuju vrlo dobar posao i prisilno je hlađenje potrebno tek prilikom overclockinga.
