ASRock P67 PRO3 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Nice price. Ive always been a Gigabyte fan. But an equal board from Gigabyte was $140. The board overclocks well. Like one click. Looks good. Solid well laid out. All the options I wanted DuraCap, UEFI and Raid. With nothing I didn't need. Also it came with the latest BIOS installed

Cons: Like most boards it had a curve in it from the manufacturing but this board was more then I'm use to. It still installed just fine. I installed a 2500K and a 212EVO with back plate. No problems

Pros: CHEAP, all the features of the fancier boards, convenient features (onboard 2x 8segment debug display) onboard power and reset buttons when you're working in the case/without power button connected, CMOS reset on rear IO panel, plenty of fan headers, plenty of USB headers, headers for everything, good documentation with pinouts for everything, USB3.0, UEFI bios is awesome native mouse support, plenty of overclocking/tweaking options! (Awesome for k unlocked chips), stable board with good drivers and support seems good. Still cant get over the segmented display, looks very cool and high tech in my case, board is black and looks professional/high quality. Dont hesitate with the Asrock brand I have 0 regrets this is an awesome board for the price no problems at all!

Cons: Asrock instantboot is crud, fastusb pops up obnoxiously, and xfastlan has an obnoxious gadget that keeps popping up. Software is skinned obnoxiously, just install the drivers and skip the software. Only one PCIX16 slot, only a couple of the fan headers are auto fan controlled, others are manual or on/off, awkward floppy drive connector placement (not that I'll ever use it). Dont put pressure on the DRM heatsinks... they are held on by springy clips, not structural. The rear eSata is shared with the Sata 3-1 so you can only have one sata 3.0 drive hooked up internally if you plan to use the rear esata port.

Overall Review: Be VERY careful putting your processor in this is just standard 1155 proceedure, keep the cap if you ever have to send it in for warranty you'll be denied otherwise. Provisions to use 775 cooler, not a big deal for me, useful to somebody who has a nice 775 cooler. All lights on the board glow red these being the integrated power and reset switches and the segmented LED, all of which can be disabled in the bios (Goodnight LED enable and Dr Debug disable) Asrock rep on youtube seems to be ridiculously enthusiastic about Asrock boards, would recommend checking him out for a good laugh.

Pros: I bought the original version of this motherboard and there is absolutely no difference in performance with the new stepping. I have my 2500K overclocked to 4.4Ghz with air cooling. I love the UEFI bios and it is very ez to flash to the current BIOS too. I also like the 6 GB SATA connectors which came in handy for my new Crucial SSD C300 SSD drives. I opted for this model because I didn't want to pay an arm and leg for features I would never use. I have used Asus and Gigabyte motherboards in the future and this one is definitely in their league in regard to quality.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Newegg is a total class operation they handled this motherboard recall flawlessly! Excellent communication I was never left hanging with a recalled motherboard. They truly care about their customers!

Pros: I got this before the recall, and it worked great. Now I have the replacement B3 board, and its just as solid. There's no real fancy features to this board, but its well laid out, and it works. I have a 2500K running at 4.5ghz using a Tuniq tower cooler. The bios is easy to navigate and pretty flexible.

Cons: More usb ports on the rear I/O plate would of been nice, but not a huge deal.

Pros: Great board , booted right up and came loaded with the latest bios version 1.8 which will give you a splash screen. I like this board because of what it does not have , not have , no second lan, no firewire , or some second raid controller , thinks I will never use anyway . Just a good meat and potatoes board with out all the stuff I will never use anyway

Cons: Board is a bit fussy as far as memory, I already had some low latency, cas 7 DDR3 1333 ram which it made the system unstable . If your memory has a XMP profile then this board will default to that profile and auto set the 1t command rate

Overall Review: Strongly sugget going with some Gskill cas 8 ram I bought some of this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231205 and it worked flawless

Pros: Excellent layout UEFI has all settings necessary for top overclocks Handles 12GB RAM (2x4GB plus 2x2GB) flawlessly, reads XMP correctly Gave me a 4.8GHz 2500K

Cons: Theme is white and blue only. Didn't look right until I installed red Ripjaws X memory. Go USA!

Overall Review: Had B2 version since late January and had no problems. B3 version is proving to be the same. I liked how NewEgg got me one of the new boards before it was even listed on their site. Two thumbs up! Would recommend both NewEgg and ASRock to friends and family ... and random strangers on the internet.

Pros: I've owned/built numerous desktops. The BIOS on this item is superb: I can safely over clock with ease, set the fan speeds/range with ease. Graphics of the settings are very understandable and even pleasing to the eye. What a positive change from the overly tweekness of other MOBOs, to the point of requiring tech. support. I'm 71 yrs. of age & upgraded with this MOBO & Core i5.

Cons: none

Overall Review: super value if you do not require every tweek setting that can probably shorten the life of your other choice MOBO & parts.

Pros: -Rock stable so far -Booted right up the first time -Detected everything -Great placement of all the ports and slots, great layout -Good manual -Kinda pretty -Uefi Bios -runs cool in my case -Nice solid, weighty feel

Cons: -Wasn't free

Overall Review: This motherboard is excellent so far, and detected all my new parts right away. Fits perfectly into my Cooler Master HAF 922 and the layout is great. I chose this over the extreme4 because A) I don't plan on CF/SLI and B) I wanted to save some cash. So far, it seems everybit as good as the Extreme4 minus a couple negligible features if you don't need them. Plenty of OC features in the Bios as well. And I'm loving my new PC!
