Frowned upon yes but it is perfectly legal and as long as you aren't taking the mick, (like buying a board OCing then sending it back repeatly) then it is ok

There is one review listed thats on Asrock's website,its in Italian http://www.pcbrain.it/index.php/articoli/3-motherboard/963-asrock-p67-extreme-6-prestazioni-alla-portata-di-tutti.html ,so use Babelfish to translate to English,basically they thought it was a great board.

Better is a relative term ie depends what you mean like overclocking,stability,features etc...I will say it appears to have far less issues then its Asus counterpart,also its very feature packed/high quality parts for the price.

Nowadays they are excellent due to using high quality components,they use to be part of Asus.

I read a couple of Asrock Extreme 4 owners are happy with their boards in Anandtech forums,one has his Extreme4 up to 5.3Ghz rock stable,he quoted

1.48 vcore... I hope he's not planning that CPU to last.

The difference between the new and old Asrock boards is like night and day.

Extreme 6 would be among one of the top choice boards for me if I was upgrading (downgrading?) to P67. That is alongside the Asus maximus and Saberooth but for the money it is unbeatable.
