you do know that ASrock are a subsidary or ASUS? so what you are buying is infact an ASUS board.

It feels like there's something different about it though, I think they put function before looks. The board I owned didn't look great at all lol
It's strange, but I'm favouring ASRock over Asus at the mo aswell.

So, anyone going to any festivals this year? Getting my Leeds Fest tickets on Monday.

asus should be making boards like asrock do asrock boards just work. asus boards i have used have had wierd glitchy problems like ram compatibility problems and reliabiblity.

number of faulty asrock boards on ebay = 1
number of faulty asus boards on ebay = 16

Every motherboard reguardless of brand suffers from ram compatibility with the odd set of ram. I think why ASrock has less mobo returns is because they mainly focus their attention on the OEM market and not general consumers. thats not to say that they dont have mobos out in the general consumer market - its just not what their focus is on. but they do come up with some cool stuff, like adding AGP to a PCI-Ex 8/16x board

i have never seen an asrock board in an oem machine :S who do they make them for?

its always been ecs or foxconn i have seen in oem machines.

I should stick it in my sig or something - stay away from Anus, Gigabutt and EVGAY.

That's the same theory as me, they've made mobo's for OEM rigs for long enough. Also, RMA-ing through Asus is notoriously difficult. What's it's like RMA-ing through ASRock in UK? If it's easier than Asus then that'll add to it.

anyone whose willing to have their kit. AsRock boards have been seen in many HP and some earlier Packard Bell machines before P.B were assimilated by ACER - so ive no doubt that many ACER machines have had AsRock boards but im not 100% certain.

FreedomEclipse · Mar 16, 2011

FreedomEclipse · Mar 16, 2011

I use to have a friend at school with size 15 feet - we called him sideshow bob but he was a cool mofo. whenever he got into a fight he took one of his shoes off (guess thats why he always wore slip ons) and beat people around with it

As for yellow, stop being a pansy, its shoes!

Shoes are for shoeing not for fashion statements

ASCOCK is the worst brand, i have maybe had 6-7 boards, each any every one of them exhibited the loudest cap squeel known to man!! bought an MSI and an XFX to replace them, no squeel or noises....

should have told them for all the 6 AsRock motherboards you bought, you sold them all off, made a small profit and bought a pig. at least you have bacon every morning to go with the squeals. --but i admit that does sound very very nasty and tbh i wouldnt be suprised if the RMA team blacklist you for saying it

FreedomEclipse · Mar 16, 2011

imagine that -- Ringing up AsRock CC with a pig on your lap, hold the handset against the pigs head and when the guy at the other end picks up, give the pigs tail a good yank.

maybe then they will know how you feel
