Its not badly speced to by honest:

8 phase digital power design (Hi-Density power connectors and gold solid-state capacitors)
4 memory slots that support up to 64 GB of DDR3-3050 memory
three PCI-Express 3.0 x16 and 4 PCI-Express 2.0 x1
six SATA 6GB/s ports
rear I/O is made up of four USB 3.0 ports
three USB 2.0 ports
Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200 Series Gigabit LAN port
a Fatal1ty mouse port
7.1 channel audio
VGA, DVI, HDMI out and HDMI in.
 
Personally I love MSI and Asus Mobos myself, never found AsRock that interesting but this looks nice tbh

Mainly the mixed reviews I read on them and for this particular sku, why not just get an Asus board?

because my personal experience has been better with ASRock than Asus

 

(speaking about ASRock in general, not Fatal1ty specifically)

 

and for the record, there are bad reviews out there for every single product in existence

I just dont trust asrock right now. Linus was trying to use a asrock motherboard in one of his personal rig upgrades it had that loud fan. The loud fan wasnt the issue. The real issue is that asrock hasnt realized gamers dont want loud motherboards or that putting a plx chipset and a higher end raid card will create too much heat

I had a version (I had the X79 extreme7, he was looking at an extreme11) of that motherboard.  You can manually control that fan in the BIOS down to an inaudible speed (don't remember if you can turn it off completely).  It doesn't come on till the southbridge reaches a certain temp though.  This is more Linus's fault for not being able to figure that out than it is ASRock's fault.

trust? what exactly do you mean by that?  and any other reason than Linus not knowing he can turn off the southbridge fan? (just to clarify, not trying to start sh*t, genuinely curious)

 

If the extreme11 question is directed at me, idk, I didn't have that mobo

Price seems a but high IMO but the z87 motherboards are so rich in features i just wish the CPU were better overclockers. 

A water-cooled mid-tier gaming PC.

Thats a lot of sata cables lol. The image on the chipset looks weird imo but your gpu would probably cover most of it so its fine. Like their naming on their features (ex. FAN-Tastic Tuning and Asrock OMG). :)
