I love Asrock boards, compared to every other manufacturer, Asrock isn’t afraid to try new or different things (like the 5Gbit NIC they are now offering on some boards), and I love how they only have m.2 slots and not worthless u.2 ports like everyone else…oh, and I like how they’re not Asus, 9 out of 10 computers seem to have Asus boards, and it’s no fun having the same stuff as everyone else
