Anyone have any feedback on these? They seem to be pretty amazing specs and cheaper than the ASUS.

I'd just like to know if there's any real big difference between the two besides price points. lol

E: I am thinking about putting an NVMe SSD in my next build and this supports that.

Are there any differences besides the companies?

I'd be pairing it with some sort of I7 processor and hopefully get a good combo deal @ microcenter.

Pretty much only brand and BIOS.
Only worked with Asus, Gigabyte and MSI motherboard. So i got no comment on Asrock as a company.

I would absolutely hate to have a mobo go bad on me. Having to take the computer completely apart and being fucked. lol

AsRock is a subsidiary of ASUS. IMO, ASUS is the way to go for motherboards.

IMO this is always a personal preference/what you've had good experience with in the past when specs are equal

So ASrock is a great company, but MSI is an amazing company.
