Ah finally the new Z270 boards from all the fendors start to show up.
Asrock again has done a very nice job with their boards.
I really like the direction they go with their asthetic design.
The only miss i see in the design is the bottom slot to not being re-enforced like the rest.
But of course the Extreme 4 is just their entry mainstream board.
There also will be a more advanced Extreme 6 and 7 most likely.
I´m very currious to see if they have gone with anything new as far as the vrm circuitry design is concerned.
But i suppose that the vrm components used arround most boards will most likely be very similar to their Z170 counter parts.
As soon as i have more information on the vrm implementations,
i will update it here.
I heard, not confirmed that the Asrock Z270 boards support Windows7/8.1. Just with Skylake only. Could you confirm Wendell?
Basically what is the last good Windows7/8.1 board and CPU, that or X99?
