I know ASROCk get a lot of praise recently but im still not sold, id rather pay extra for something like this ASUS product for quality.
Can anyone answer if ASROCK and ASUS are the same company? I heard they were the same parent owned company.
It shows how little the pCIe x16 slot really does. always believed it.
I like these lower cost boards, its always nice to focus on the ultra high end things for the wow factor, but they dotn sell much.
Great review, like the pictures. good layout, but weird choice on the addon for 16x, most boards are self switching.
