i know that asrock are in joint with asus but are they reliable as asus atleast as msi boards..because they are very cheap i doubt its due to quality decrease..is that true are asrock boards can survive more than 5 years
Sure they can survive more than 5 years, its also up to u.
Keep it cool, don't touch it with bare hands. Use quality PSU and use surge protector and if u can afford it, use UPS.
They are using quality materials in the last couple of years.
And if u don't have a faulty piece, it will last.
Of course the cheaper u go the smaller life expectancy u get. So mid range $165 is OK.
