Fantastic deal!
Well, I've known that ASRock is a spin off brand from Asus and the quality definitely shows! The 8x/8x slots for video cards is perfect and the SLI compatibility is the cherry on top. Upgrading from my Asus 790FX board to this was painless and didn't even require an OS reinstall.
In fact I got an extra 200 mhz on my 1090t with this board. It's running my 1090t at 3.8Ghz(6core-mode) and 4.2Ghz (4-Core aka Turbo-Core) upgrading to this from my 790FX board.
Lack of SATA ports. My MSI P67A-GD65 on my primary machine has a LOT more SATA ports, but it's a different class of motherboard that cost TWICE as much.
I love being ready for Bulldozer and this allows me to do it on the cheap. Also this has a front panel USB 3.0 connector, just freaking amazing. Also the space between the ram and socket is perfect. I have Corsair DDR3 1600 with those stupid fins that are 5 inches tall and they don't interfere with my Coolermaster Hyper 212+ with dual-fans.
Looks beautiful and the on board error led is great.
Shipped out without version1.4 bios and wont use my new FX 6100 CPU until it gets it. Annoying
Luckily tech support know of the issue and is sending me a new bios chip but it is a kick in the balls to get everything setup hit power and hear the computer turn on.... Than nothing. Like i said though on board Error lights helped out a lot so i am greateful for that
