ASRock Teams With Fatal1ty For AMD MoBo

Fatality MkII headset is the only thing with his logo I have and it's actually pretty good overall.
 
3 separate orders of 3 trial motherboards with different chipsets, and all 3 of them failed, and we're not ordering Asrock brand boards ever again!

Yeah, I agree. I've owned 2 ASROCK motherboards and they are total crap. I will never buy ASROCK again for me or anyone else.
 
Asrock is pretty hit and miss

I have a P4 Asrock cheapo board that is still running 7 years later that cost $50.

I had a medium priced Asrock AM3 board ($85) that lasted 2 years. When it went a month ago, it cooked the CPU too... Asrock support won't even talk to me.

So, I will not buy Asrock again...

The only brand I have never really had any bad issues with is Asus. I've had dead Asus boards early on in the warranty period sure (it happens) but I find once they prove to run for awhile, they are probably not going to die.
 
I have three Asrock boards in service and doing well. Although if possible I rely on other brands, Asrock has gotten better in the quality dept over the last two years. That's my experience.

Foxconn however...
 
I've owned a few Asrock boards, and they are still running after 6 years. It seems that the quality has diminished a bit since they were first spun off from Asus.....well according to the reviews on newegg. They were known for budget boards so I'm hoping this joint venture will be a good one.
 
Asrock has nothing wrong with them. I have an Asrock 880gmh and ive never had issues with it it actually has alot of OC'ing options that i have not seen in other mobo's even the noob friendly 50turbo feature that auto O'C's which i admit dosnt do a great job but if u know what ur doing there a great brand.
 
[citation][nom]carcharocles_theory[/nom]@LORD_ORIONYou realize AsRock IS Asus, right? They're Asus' budget brand.[/citation]

Yes, but I wouldn't advocate something like dropping Dewalt because you had a bad experience with Black and Decker. They are pretty distinct divisions.

But like I said, I've seen hit and miss from Asrock and crap support on the miss, so I am not touching the brand again.
 
Where are intel or AMD with their true "System on a chip"?
Modem, lan, wifi controller, audio chip, all on die with the cpu, in such a way that they can get rid of all those externa; controllers, sucking up power, and using up valuable latency!

Audio applications could go so much faster with dedicated hardware built directly into the CPU ring (like VST's could work better). Latencies could be reduced not only from audio, but also networking latencies; which are currently the biggest issue for slow working webpages!

And although creating a massive chip that will replace 90% of onboard hardware, will result in slightly worse CPU performance, it might increase program response (programs that are depending on internet, audio connections, etc...); plus Intel or AMD could not only create all these chips at 32-20nm, but also powergate them, making them so much more energy efficient!

Im probably the only one that uses these 2 brands of powertools and in my experience dewalt makes good tools but horrible batteries i got an 18 volt xrp hammerdrill/impact drill/drill and one battery died a couple years latter and the same went for the 12 volt drill that i bought around the same time except that drill was covered by warrenty because it died 6 months latter because of the batteries. Now black and decker i've ownd only a jigsaw but that same jigsaw lasted around 4 years and still running. Oh by the way im a carpenter and i HATE cords and hoses to death so i get whatever i can with a battery. The best is either Makita or Milwaukee i've had tons of tools from both of these brands and never had a problem and i use these tools daily. I just forgot why i was talking about powertools.
 
lol this comment board amuses me it seems that Prodigit10 is one of the only college/university educated technology specialists on here as myself i only have 2 year MCSA, lol. Props to Prodigit10 for Actually having something insightful to say for once
