Yes, they're decent boards.

Yep, great boards.

 

I had an MPower for awhile, it was absolutely great. BIOS was probably the best I have ever used.

Hmmm? I've always been a bit reluctant to buy Asrock boards. Are they decent?

Also, yes, they're good boards.

I can't speak for their high end series, but I have a budget board from them that's running my server fine.

They're second most reliable mobos in the markets, behind Gigabyte.

I do 5.4ghz+ runs on my Extreme4 and the OC Formula by them is the BEST board hands down for Z97. if anyone disagrees go ask for Gunslingers or Vince's opinion on OCN.

The UEFI is outstanding, the sound chips are awesome...everything about MSI motherboards is great, especialy if you can get a gaming series motherboard such as the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 for example which has support for SLI or crossfire and a killer nic.
