WOw that is a heck of a board. I think this will be on my list next month.
Arent they a part of ASUS? I dont know why people wouldnt expect them to be great if they are.
Nice looking product.
great boards from ASROCK. I bought their AMD board last month and its been flawless. good overclocking bios too.
Looks great, but fatal1ty in the bios as a picture? Id want to spend as little time in there as often.
They should do a cameron diaz version 🙂
I like these boards, I hope to buy one when I am paid, but I might go for asus as I had an asus board before and it was great. asrock are generally a bit better value.
Excellent im sold. Price isnt too bad considering
I like the layout, and the bios is great. Can you remove the fatality image in the bios? That would drive me nuts
Asus dont make these boards. As far as i know they are seperate companies now
