    Z97 Extreme6 Firmware regulator is certainly part of that stability equation. ASRock is up to its old DRAM overclocking tricks by under-reporting voltage, though we did reach DDR3-2883 at the corrected, 1.625 V setting. Z97 Extreme6 firmware includes

    Z97 Pro(Wi-Fi ac) Firmware Though we find XMP and EZ O/C settings on the firmware's starting page, we’d rather jump into its finer features at the touch of an F7 key. Though the screen shot shows a 46x multiplier, we were truthfully able to reach

    Z97X-UD5H Firmware Gigabyte still prefers to spread its firmware-based overclocking settings over far more pages than we believe are necessary (or even convenient), with an M.I.T. menu that opens to nothing more than a list of submenus and a simple status

    C7Z97-OCE Firmware Supermicro’s basic firmware GUI contains an Overclocking button. But the real excitement starts after engaging Expert mode (to reveal additional settings). The CPU overclocking menu begins with several overclocking profiles

    Z97 Pro(Wi-Fi ac) Software within firmware limits for base clock, CPU ratios, and most of the Z97 Pro(Wi-Fi ac)’s voltage levels. Better still, all of the adjustments we made (within our CPU’s capabilities) worked. EZ Update links AI Suite directly to Asus
