This is meant to be in the new build advice section

never buy a ASROCK motherboard

I WOULD NEVER GET A ASROCK MOTHERBOARD

Why not?

Why not?

Cos they are pretty crap 99% of the time. The fatality branding is just a lame attempt to get n000bs to buy them.

It is red and black, and the reviews are very good.

SpecialTech ship to Australia, but if shipping costs too much then I will have to make do with the limited amount of stuff in Australia...

The reviews are good for anything + everything a couple of people gave the Nzxt h2 gold awards so if a brand make loads of shit stuff they won't suddenly make something awesome

The AsRock Z68 Fatal1ty Professional Gen3 is $300 and is on par with the Gigabyte UD7 performance in almost every test.
