One of the worst motherboards I have ever purcahsed 05/13/2015
This review is from: ASRock Z97 Pro3 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
Low price
Cons:
Long delay after turning PC on before it starts to boot. Sound failed 30 days after purchase. If I hook a new drive up to the system, it tries to boot from it instead of using the boot order I already had in place.
Manufacturer Response:
Dear Valued ASRock Customer
