This review is from: ASRock B85M-HDS LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros:

Good feature set

Cons:

As other reviewers said, the BIOS doesn't support any currently-sold processors. Mine came with 1.1 and I require 1.6. That's how out-of-date the BIOS is; roughly 2 years. My contact to ASRock has been ignored so far.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued ASRock Customer

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Due to the mainboard has been released before Haswell-R processor, the BIOS update is required to recognizing the new processor.
We will be more than happy to send the updated BIOS chip.
