Chaparrel can we have some thoughts on the mobo.

Now i got the SLI working i found this motherboard great,I hadn't had any problems with it yet..

I also OC my CPU up to 4600mhz so far..
Not sure how much more higher i can go with my CPU air cooler..

I may try 4800mhz later today/eveing if am feeling brave enough

Cool but I would for the paste to set in before clocking anymore.

have you had a bad experience with asrock before

MY first gaming PC was a prebuilt one with an Athlon 1400 Mhz, Geforce 3, 512 meg ram, and an Asrock mobo.

The mobo was pure pants, like behind every other one on the market in every benchmark. After that every self build I've done has used Asus, MSI or Gigabyte.

In all honesty, this is the first time I know of that Asrock have actually made decent boards, and I'd personally rather stick to the tried and tested big 3 mobo makers instead.
