5 Comments on ASRock Unveils Intel's 7-Series Motherboard at 2012 Annual Global Tour
Heard a lot of good things about the prior Z68 Extreme. Curious to see these new ones benched. Might spark my interest for my next build. Been pretty solid with Gigabyte since that 939 failed. But I might not mind switching back if the features are right for the price.
It's about time to stretch the legs of my 2500K that's been running bone stock for almost a year.
