Great Motherboard

ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: - Easy to overclock - Runs very stable (No BSOD or whatsoever) - Clear CMOS switch is very useful - Hyper 212+ doesn't block ram slots - Future proof (Ivy Bridge ready and PCI-E 3.0)

Cons: - NONE

Overall Review: This is my first Asrock motherboard and I'm very satisfied. My i5-2500k runs stable at 4.5 @ 1.280v using offset mode. Graphical UEFI is super easy to use. DO NOT use fixed mode for v-core adjustment when overclocking. In my case, I had hard time stabilizing my i5-2500k at 4.5GHz @ 1.350v using fixed mode. Then I tried offset mode and it's now stable at 1.280v. Here's my bios settings: Asrock P67 Extreme4 Gen3 (Bios v1.10) Internal PLL - Disabled Spread Spectrum - Disabled Turbo Power Limits - 150/150/150 Offset mode +0.025v LLC Level 5 (Auto) Everything else is set to default Mine passed LinX test 50 times without an error with GFlops value of static 122. Intel i5-2500K @ 4.5GHz (1.280v) Asrock P67 Extreme4 Gen3 Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus (+ Arctic Silver 5) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 16GB (4GB x 4) Powercolor Radeon HD 6870 1GB Asus DRW-24B1ST ODD Rosewill Challenger Case Rosewill HIVE-750 PSU

PowerColor Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card AX6870 1GBD5-2DH

Pros: - 40-45 fps in Battlefield 3 in 1920x1200 resolution with everything on High and 2x AA - Runs fairly cool and quiet under load

Cons: - Driver crashes occasionally while gaming

Overall Review: The screen freezes occasionally and says "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered". Clean installed 3 different version of drivers, but the problem still exists. I'm not sure whether it's the hardware or software that's causing the crash.

Pros: - Interchangeable grips - Stores profiles in the mouse (No need to install software) - Able to change DPI settings without using software (this is great when driving vehicles in BF3) - Matte finish, which is good for sweaty hands

Cons: - Profile button is located on the bottom of the mouse

Overall Review: I've been looking for a MX310 replacement for the last 6 years. I have tried many different mice, and G9X is the best of all. It took me 4 days getting used to this mouse. Finally, I can dump my 6-year-old Logitech MX310.

Great Gaming Keyboard
