They might actually be good too now Asrock have a hand in them.

Still ugly as heck and if they are anything like their previous boards, will still be sub-par.


Asus would have been a better partner as IMHO Asrock does not make quality motherboards. DECENT but not anywhere as good as Asus. ( Yes I know they used to be the same company )

Sounds like your opinion in mobos is outdated by 10 years, AsRock boards are fairly good, and Taichi boards are outright excellent.


On the other hand, you've got to be careful when buying Asus, when even STRIX boards might have rather disappointing VRM (looking at you, Z370-F STRIX).

Aesthetics aside as that area is subjective, Asrock have been on par with Asus for a few years now, With Asus you tend to pay more simply for the name.

Asrock have always been good, in perspective. IE, don't pay £40 expecting a £150 board.

I ran them for years, but overclocking was limited (as I found out when I burned one out). However, that was my fault. Feature wise? the board was unbeatable.

Now though? yeah, things have changed dramatically. Prices have gone up, but they now have a very high end board for any chip and their CPU support is better than any one else in the game. Asus? for that? are the worst. Their boards are terrible for BIOS updates and none of them I have ever had support Xeons. Asrock? literally support anything that fits.

Asus in my experience has the best BIOS and BIOS support. That's why I go to them for boards.

EVGA? Ya stay the F*** away from that. Truly awful.
MSI? Didn't mind it, that was years ago though. Never a problem quality wise however. Not sure if they are different.

No experience with anyone else. Wouldn't trust NZXT however.
