This review is from: ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
after i got it up and running it has been smooth sailing since (see cons)
I have only bought evga in the past for motherboards.
I was pleasantly surprised of the quality of this MB.
Socket issues????
2600 k @ 4.8 on air (no problems)
570 evga
120G ocz revo drive (pci express)
8 gig corsair xms3 (9-9-9-24 @ 1600)
Cons:
after 2 days of trouble shooting i found the problem.
2 bent socket pins? I always check pins before cpu installs.
This was no different. After trouble shooting everything I pulled the cpu. @ 2 touching pins!!!???
It was giving me a 45 error code. I was about to give up. After some very delicate surgery all is good! Do not know how common this is, but this is my 30+ cpu install and never had a problem with it?
Overall Review:
With no experience with ASROCK I was very hesitant.
If you feel the same way DO NOT HESITATE!!
This is your MB!
