Not worth it

Newegg
3 weeks ago
  • Pros: Great features and usability while it lasted.
  • Cons: With nothing in my system overclocked at all, this board decided to die after about 6 months. I could have given it 2 or maybe 3 stars, but it also fried my cpu and gp...

Good Board, Bad Support. Be cautious with windows 8

  • Summary: The gameblaster soundcard is great- when it works. When it doesn't work it's a huge headache. It seems that when my computer goes to sleep the soundcard needs a full...
  • Pros: Hugely expandable with 6 PCIE slots, 8 DIMMS, 12 SATA ports, USB 3.0 etc... It's a great board with a lot of options. UEFI is great. The gameblaster sound card/network...
  • Cons: This problem may be unique to windows 8, but here goes.

Good But Not Extraordinary

Slite, Newegg
7 March 2013
  • Summary: The SATA controllers are absolutely horrible to work with. I think that 3 individual SATA controllers for one board wasnt the best idea because it really limits RAID...
  • Pros: All aspects of my board seem to work just fine (i.e. no broken components). There is a large amount of features available. Stable when OCing the CPU (My i7 3820 is cur...
  • Cons: Not a huge fan of UEIF BIOS on this board. With each change that is made a restart of the PC must be made before the board recognizes it, (i.e. bootable drives). If a ...

Awesome mobo!

Newegg
22 February 2013
  • Pros: Nothing but good things to say about this board itself. It has a lot of internal SATA ports, extra USB 3.0 ports with a front 3.5" mount, looks amazing, and installed ...
  • Cons: Only con I really have is with the included sound card. The game blaster really did not do what I was looking for. It has a customization capability to change the port...

Finicky but functional

meddling, Newegg
1 January 2013
  • Summary: I have experienced a few complete lock-ups as other reviewers have; display locks, no keyboard response & no mouse response, also accompanied by a horrendous screeching
  • Pros: One of the few boards that used the then new LGA 2011 socket. No problems placing hardware; slots are reasonably laid out. Very quiet fans. Nice extras.
  • Cons: Randomly hangs when loading the BIOS. Seems to occur most often on fresh boot-ups after being shut off for more than an hour. Rebooting a second time always gets past ...

Nice Features

chaosdsm, Newegg
20 October 2012
  • Summary: I went to he ASRock website to check for up-to-date drivers & downloads, they need to check out their top 3 competitors & figure out how properly lay out their downloads
  • Pros: 12 internal SATA ports
  • Cons: price, ASRock website downloads, black on black on black color scheme. I'd rather see color coded RAM slots. No documentation on the 2nd 8-pin power connector (not nee...
