Great board if you can update the BIOS

Built 15 desktops, 3 servers using this board and all are running great.

Fast startup in the power settings will black screen Win10 unless you disable it. Also, there is a setting in the power recovery in the BIOS that causes issues with Win10. The biggest issue is if you get the 1.00 BIOS chip with the 1.00 Bios level. even though it says it is compatible with 7th gen I7's, it may not boot. The symptoms are: Mobo will power on, the fans will spin up. It will stay on for a few moments and then it reboots itself. You will have to install an older i7 processor to get into the BIOS so you can flash with the 7.x version of the BIOS. Once the BIOS has been upgraded to 7.x, your newer CPU should boot fine and allow yo into the BIOS or beyond.

Have an older 6th gen CPU on hand to update the BIOS so you can run 7th gen CPU's

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
OK Motherboard, ancient BIOS, mediocre customer support

* The board seems to run fine once it's going
* Supports ECC RAM

* No onboard video
* Ships with BIOS 3 years out of date that won't take new processors
* ASRock customer support delivers, but very slowly

My board, purchased in Jan 2019, shipped with a Jan 2016 BIOS. The Dec 2016 BIOS update is required to run Kaby Lake processors, which the board supports. I couldn't boot and install (or upgrade the BIOS image) due to this, and it took over a week to convince ASRock to send me a new BIOS chip, and over a week to receive the ship once it was mailed.
