AsRock motherboards

[Mister B]

I've had a keen eye on AsRock boards for some time now. I've read mixed reviews about them and as normal, a lot of praise and a lot of doubt.
But more so in regard to their questionable support division.

Any of you guys got any experience with them? :mellow:

Ive got a Z77 extreme 6 that ive had no problems with, overclocking was fine, all the features I wanted and decent price so cant complain.

I believe a lot of the negativity about their products is based on past performance as they used to be pretty awful but have improved considerably since then.

 

[Mister B]

Yeah, the consensus seems to be that they have come from bad to good, getting better. Aside from their in your face marketing tactics I can't see faults with their boards now. They have all the essentials and more, at a nice price. Except the X79 Extreme11. MSRP $600! Lol

Is the brown copper tracing really visible on the PCB or just in certain light? Aesthetics alone wouldn't be enough to turn me off a board but brown is odd.

 

[Perturabo]

Yeah the brown depends on the light. In direct sunlight it is obvious but inside a case in shadow it looks black, unless you have some extreme white lighting anyway.

That's good to hear. I just feared buying one and feeling awful sorry for myself hating the brown on the PCB. Other than that they're pretty sweet looking boards. Performance I will have to find out for myself I suppose

I have a z77 extreme 4 which is great apart from a tiny v-core issue at 1.165v.
indeed they r getting better but I see they suffer the same issue as they did few years ago.

Should be getting a board in a week or two so I will know for sure then! Fingers crossed there is no issues, first time buying an AsRock product.

i used one in my old x58 system and i had no problems at all !!! my x58so died so i decided to try asrock and i didn't regret it !! as for their new boards i've seen quite good reviews on the net !! i was going to buy one but i decided not to because i wanted to try something else !!

I have built 2 Systems with Asrock mobos for freinds, both with i5 2500ks.

Not a single issue till now, running for about 1.5 years and everythings fine.
