The weird thing is every asrock board i've ever own from AMD Phenom K10N780SLIX3-WiFi to the intel P67 Extreme4 I always had some type of problem with it either is was holding my processor back or it was faulty. But the one thing I like about the asrock board that I need is there "Creative Sound Core3D 7.1 CH, Supports THX TruStudio PRO Game Blaster". And asus have the "Creative Sound Core3D quad-core sound and voice processor SupremeFX III Supreme Sound" I don't know what that is??. To me a great sound will improve my gaming and dts movies. I love asus brand never had a problem with it. But I want asrocks sound card! lolIn my opinion, the Asus has better overclocking capabilities then the Asrock but then again the Asrock is a nice board.

Pros: I was getting a debug post code AF. it would not post with bios 0505.Here is how to fix that.The 3820 will need a bios update you will need to update your bios using the ROG button on the back of the MOBO. Downloaded latest BIOS (1005) Slap it onto a FAT-32-formatted USB stick, renaming the image to" R4F.ROM" connect the board to an ATX power supply, stick in the USB in the ROG USB port, and press and hold the ROG BIOS flash button. 60 seconds or so later, you'll have an updated BIOS - and the system will work just fine. Note that you don't need to have RAM or a CPU on the board - just the 24-pin ATX connector.

My first Computer had a Whopping 16K of memory @ 0.89MHz. My first hard drive held 20 Megabytes and never filled up.
My Oldest Motherboard and Hard Drive are a 80286 @ 8Mhz and a Seagate 20 Megabyte MFM drive.

I thought asus no longer owns asrock?FWIW: Asrock and Asus boards have the same owner...Asrock is just the budget line for the manufacturer.

They should of stayed with asus. Allot of people bought there mobos because of there affiliation with asus. I know I did lol But one thing asrock has to offer is there great features that comes with the price.They are now owned by Pegatron. Pegatron was a part of Asustek, as was ASRock. ASRock is part of Pegatron and when Pegatron was spun off from Asustek, ASRock went with them. They are still thought of as the budget oriented version of Asus motherboards.

If they make Hp mobos then this case is close. I'm staying with asusIt's a quite ashame that Asrock isn't with Asus anymore. I think Pegatron makes some of HP's motherboards.
At least I'll know what i'm getting myself into with asus.
