Untill you run game that can use more than 2 cores. Then your GPU will be siting at 50% doing nothing while your CPU will be like: "Why are you doing this to me? I cant take it anymore.. stoooop!".

They're rated most hard drive failures. Also, I've had several drives fail from them.

So much bloatware man, support is terrible, quality is just okay, and they're priced the same as boards from better manufacturers

I spent over a year with ridiculous bloatware, driver crashes, no working front pannel USB or audio because of Asrock. Haven't had any of those issues with Asus, Gigabyte or MSI.

Bloatware?  On a mobo?  You are responsible for installing any suite that comes with the mobo.

 

I have used AsRock boards, they are fine.  Just as good and reliable as any of the others.

I find it ridiculous that bloatware is included with your driver install, and the drivers that do install are garbage anyway and only work half the time.

 

Also, no comment on why the USB 3.0 and audio connectors didn't work out of the box? GG, quality control.

I would still suggest going for a different board. Same price, same features, better quality.

It is not.  You are just lazy.

 

My Z77 AsRock board did need a USB 3.0 driver.  Wow you are right.  It took me a total of about 7 seconds to download and another 30 seconds to install and reboot... wtf, AsRock is shit.
