Review update

Fast , overclocks easily.

VMR heatsink inadequate . Windows freezes up then have to restart. Read other thoughts

Was having strange issue of windows 7 64bt freezing up from time to time. Then I noticed the VMR heatsink was burning hot so i downloaded hardware monitor and it said the VMR would go up to 226f . To make this sort I places a fan blowing over the VMR heatsink and now it stay below 100f even after 2 hours playing bf3 and no more freezing up.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
terrible customer service (newegg)

none i haven't had the chance to use the board

asrock has been helping me more than newegg has

newegg customer service .. thats a con

i ordered this board in a combo pack that newegg put together with a i7 3820 , the board and processor were not compatible. after talking to newegg i send the MB back, they claimed i broke a pci express lock pin and shipped the board back , now i receive the board and about 12 of my processor pins are bent or smashed down.. i call newegg back and am basically told its not their problem to contact asrock . ive spent thousands upon thousand of dollars at this site and have never had a problem, they will defiantly be loosing a customer that builds a new computer almost every year.
