High Density Glass Fabric PCB

What you’ve never understood about your computer is that it is scared to death of water, H2O, humidity or whatever you’d like to name it. And even though you do not see the water, actually there may be lots of excessive moist in the air killing your motherboard silently and slowly. No, your motherboard doesn’t melt when in contact with water like the wicked witch of the west, but it dies of short circuit. Luckily, ASRock has a new High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity.

2 out of 5 eggs1st DOA (miss on rebate too!), 2nd worked fine

Pros: Inexpensive, feature packed boards. Newegg paid for return shipping!

Cons: 1st unit DOA. Rebate required UPC, so couldn't submit the rebate in the timeframe required.
2nd unit was fine.

5 out of 5 eggsGood value, easy setup

Pros: Worked right out of the box.
BIOS is nice, and I was able to update the BIOS from within BIOS over an ethernet connection.
Trouble-free operation so far (3 days use).
Good feature set for the price.

Cons: Not sure if the problem was with the motherboard or the cable, but the 24 pin ATX power connector was hard to seat.

Other Thoughts: I have only been using this motherboard for a few days, so I can't comment on long-term reliability. I'm glad I chose this board: it is working well and has the features I need now with the potential for future upgrades (M.2 SSD, 4K display, etc.).

3 out of 5 eggsCan be an adventure.

Pros: Has plenty of ports.

Cons: Early bios (UEFI) can be very unreliable depending on RAM.

Other Thoughts: Mine arrived with the early 1.30 bios and was very flaky with the combo deal RAM I received from Newegg, the bios updates from Asrock address memory timing issues but in updating to 1.90 my new motherboard failed to work again. I then ordered a fresh bios chip online which revived my dead board and things are now fairly good except I now have a MAC address checksum failure for the LAN that is a known Asrock issue, sadly however their MAC tool program to fix it doesn't yet support this board. I've messaged them and hope that soon a repair will be available.
So be wary if you have an early bios as it can cause some angst. It's now been four weeks since ordering and I've still yet to complete my new build.

4 out of 5 eggsStill don't regret buying it but...

Pros: This is a great motherboard for my HTPC build which will be used primarily for multitasking applications and music production, and there is no reason it couldn't be used for gaming either. The 6 USB 3.0 ports are great to have, as are the 6 SATA connections. There motherboard really doesn't have skimp much on features when compared to full-size ATX boards.

Cons: The VGA connection which sits atop the DVI port seems flimsy, and pushes back quite a way when inserting a VGA cable.

Other Thoughts: I'm not sure what some of the BIOS complaints have been that I've read in other reviews, but it booted right up with Windows 10 just fine for me, no BIOS flashing or anything. Very easy build.

3 out of 5 eggsAppeared to be DOA, but not

Pros: The board has a nice feature set, looks great, and was easy to set up.

Cons: Appeared to be DOA. The power supply fan wouldn't even spin up. Based on the previous review that mentioned replacing the CMOS battery, I checked mine. It was fine, just over 3V. Leaving the battery out for a few minutes (with the power off) did, however, make it start right up!

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued ASRock Customer,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Please trouble shoot the mainboard whether the issue is resolved.
• Unplug the ATX power, remove all components from mainboard.
• Remove the mainboard from chassis, place it on mainboard’s box.
• Clear the CMOS.
• Check the mainboard’s CPU contact pins are normal (should be pointing same way and pattern).
• Reseat the CPU and heatsink fan if socket pins are normal.
• Test with single memory module.
• Test with onboard video.
• Connect the monitor.
• Plug the 24 + 8 or 4 pins ATX power.
• Connect the chassis power switch to mainboard.
• Turn on the power to check if its post.

If you have any technical support inquiry, please contact us at http://www.ASRock.com/Support/tsd.asp
We will assist you shortly.

5 out of 5 eggsEasy to build and configure

Pros: High quality impression, well made. Easily mounted in my case. Instructions very good, with clear illustrations of the various sockets and plugs on the board. I had no trouble finding where to connect things.

At boot, it was easy to get into the BIOS and - with a network cable connected - was able to download the latest firmware update and apply it right there. Best BIOS upgrade experience I've had. I'm not a tweaker/overclocker - I prefer stability and this is for a work machine - so I left the advanced settings alone but easily the nicest BIOS I've seen.

Cons: There are six SATA III plugs on the board. SATA0 and SATA1 are single-stack; the others are double-stack, i.e. they rise vertically off the board so SATA2 and SATA3 are in one stack, and SATA4 and SATA5 are also. This is really only an issue with lots of cabling or if (like me) you prefer to use right-angle plugs (can't here), no big deal otherwise.

Other Thoughts: I don't know if it's the board or Windows 10. My Windows 10 (1511) build runs with Hyper-V, as I need that for work, and I have experienced a small number of hard locks during boot-up, as well as one total freeze just working normally. This is a bit annoying; if it keeps up I may try to get rid of Hyper-V and see if that fixes it.

5 out of 5 eggsBuilt with quality and looks great...

Pros: I researched (majorly OCD) the motherboard scene to get a home workstation for programming. I started with 2011v3 sockets, but getting the right price combination was difficult. I finally decided on the 1151 socket, but I also wanted to keep the cost down. This motherboard is sold at a great price for the features I wanted.
- Top build quality and sturdy
- Black motherboard
- Copper colored heat sinks look great
- M.2 that is bootable
- Display port for 4K graphics, driven by the skylake (no gaming, but a large 40" 4K display)
- Intel lan port
- Upto 64GB RAM
- Great price/value

Cons: I struggled with getting a specific version of Linux to boot so I am unsure if it was the MB or me. :) Nonetheless it's working after a few hours of tweaking. :/

Other Thoughts: For me, this is intended for programming and normal home computing. With the right case, this would be great for a HTPC. Very happy with this MB for the price. AsRock is definitely listening to its customers.

Thanks for all that provide constructive reviews. Very helpful.

3 out of 5 eggsBuilt a budget gaming rig

Pros: - price

Cons: - Had a lot of trouble getting Windows 7 installed. After the frustration of getting Windows 7 up and running, I didn't have the patience to wait for updates to download. Instead, I immediately went with the free upgrade to Windows 10.
- Issued RMA for the 1st H170M Pro4 I bought. The computer sometimes would not boot. The fans would turn on and stay running, but the status lights would go out. So far so good with the replacement.
- The VGA connector seems really flimsy. It moves a lot when I connect the cable.

Other Thoughts: Got a kick out of the manual, which directs you to remove the cap covering the CPU socket after the CPU has been locked in place. Forcing the lock pin down without first removing the cap would be a bad idea. I'd have a hard time recommending this product to anyone else.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued ASRock Customer,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
For the Windows 7, because of Windows 7 does not build-in USB drivers for Intel 100 series chipset, it needs to adjust BIOS setting or patch the USB drivers to Windows 7 installation media.
However, Windows 8/8.1/10 does not have this issue.

Please visit link below for Windows 7 Installation Guide on Intel 100 series.
