Asrock Z97 Extreme3, is it good?

Hello.

 

I just watched LTT's latest video on the Z97 value motherboards. Well, I'm shopping for one and was decided on the MSI Z97S SLI+, until now. The ASRock Z97 Extreme3 looks like a good option - Z97, Intel LAN, SLI support and blue colour scheme. I've had problems with ASRock boards in the past, that's why I'm going to ask you guys if this board is good enough. Do any of you use this board? Is it reliable? How is the BIOS? Thanks.

It's not bad at all but it is still a budget motherboard

I am using an ASRock motherboard right now but for AMD for 12 months now.

It works as expected. I am hoping to move into an Intel platform with ASUS.

Yea, the Extreme3 is a very good motherboard, it comes with all of the core features that you expect in a motherboard, as well as SLI/Xfire.
