I'm Looking for a half decent X79 board to overclock a 3930k a little bit. (no interest in trying to set world records or going for silly benchmark scores.

opinions please...

AS Rock Stuff used to be cheap rubbish that I'd never even consider buying but this looks ok, has the quality improved any in the last say five years?

Is it safe enough spending around £180 on one of these or similar cheaper X79 boards or should I be looking to put another £50 or so to it?

Nothing wrong with Asrock boards, got three Extreme 4 Gen 3 & one Extreme 7 Gen 3 board, & soon to be joined by a Asrock X79 board.

All excellent boards, never had any problems with them, easy to o/c, overall quality boards at a reasonable price.
Asrock have pulled out all the stops to produce some excellent boards at prices to suit everyone.

Thanks, it would certainly appear their products have got much better recently. The only thing that's putting me off this board is it only has 4 DIMM slots albeit quad channel. I'm not actually sure I'd ever need 8 slots but it'd be nice to have as it would make the jump from 16 - 32gb a lot more cost effective should the need arise.

Hmmm.
