I've been reading up on this and I would be curious to hear anyone's review of these utilities offered with ASRock's Extreme6 Z87. To me it seems like this has the potential of burning out a port or the motherboard. But perhaps I'm missing something?

I haven't used one of these particular boards before, But I do use a ASRock X79 Extreme7 board but it doesn't have these XFast ports you are wanting to know about. I have done some research into these ports and they actually do have a slight performance edge to other standard ports on a Motherboard, I took ages to choose mu motherboard and it can down to Asus Sabertooth or the Extreme7, I love the ASRock boards and are reliable, the extreme boards are great and usually a better price compared to others and have high quality caps and parts. These XFast ports your woundering about are great, Though I haven't used one there are a few reviews out there that compare normal Lan and Xfast Lan, XFast Usb and normal USB, The overall conclusion...

ASRock have some of these reviews on their site and Overlockers.net also do as well.
