I thinkit is not as popular as the big brands such as ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, or EVGA

but from what i've heard they are good and work fine.

 

It all depends on what features you are looking for on your motherboard.

in your opinion , which board will you choose ?

I would go with ASUS because I like all their features and software, but that's just me, and I can afford to drop $300+ on a motherboard.

I'm currently using 3 of Asrock's motherboards and they're all amazing, especially for the price. I would always recommend their boards. Unless you are looking for a specific feature or flashy heat spreaders, I personally can't justify paying the extra $50-150 for an Asus or EVGA board. I have the Z87M Extreme4, the H61MV-ITX, and the H81 Pro BTC and I plan on getting another of their boards when I build my parents a new computer later this year. I don't know what others have experienced with their boards, but I have nothing but praise.

I have built dozens of systems with ASRock boards and not a single one has ever failed. I have found ASRock's fearures to be ahead of the competition in the last few generations. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Z97 Extreme4 over every other Z97 board in the price range. It offers an incredible amount of value and aesthetics
