Asrock x58

Fitseries3 · Nov 16, 2008, 06:43 PM

first thing i noticed was the NB cooler.... exactly like the one asus uses... cause asrock is asus.

but yeah.... i really like this board. if the price is right i may get one...

what you guys think?

InnocentCriminal · Nov 16, 2008, 06:45 PM

I won't mention the colour scheme.

Do we have a spec sheet with this, obviously it's going to be slightly different as I presume it's a lower end X58.

Fitseries3 · Nov 16, 2008, 06:45 PM

lower end? you kidding? low end wouldn't have 4 pcie slots.

color schemes change.

Hence why I've asked about the specification. These PCIe slots could be 2 x 16 or 2 x 8. They may have compromised something

untill someone gives me a usb one that isnt huge this ps2 one works fine for me.

IDE and floppy can just go die somewhere though.

None of the X58 chipsets are low-end mainboards.
X58 chipset IS an high-end chipset for motherboard, just like X48...

Oooh I a beg your pardon. Maybe low-end was the wrong term, maybe I should have said value.

I lurve floppy!

Until someone provides a 100% working USB boot solution I actually use one for flashing purposes.

Castiel · Nov 16, 2008, 08:34 PM

Why is everyone putting the 3rd PCI-E x16 slot so close to the bottom, where you are going to have to use a water cooling or find a card with single slot!!!

Fitseries3 · Nov 16, 2008, 08:37 PM

???????????

whats the problem? most cases have plenty of room for it.

crazy pyro · Nov 16, 2008, 09:07 PM

Wow, the rest of the parts of that PC would definitely make it a super computer lol, you crazy guy with the everchanging rig. Wait a sec, you have an x58 board anyway, why do you need another?

Or just skip having a case altogether, like me. lol.

Anyway, it's an ASRock, I wouldn't buy it. The hardware is probably quality, but I bet the BIOS support and OCing are shit.

Fastmix · Nov 16, 2008, 09:34 PM

Nice layout ........but that pink.

DanishDevil · Nov 17, 2008, 04:18 AM

All I have to say is...WATERMELON RAM SLOTS!!!

Fitseries3 · Nov 17, 2008, 04:19 AM

cant you guys bitch about something thats performance related? pink and green has never impacted the boards performance whatsoever.
