Unless Asrock boards have changed for the better recently they're a little bit dodgy with reliability, my first one turned up broken then I sent it back to be replaced and the next was broken and when I got the replacement that worked it died after about 4 months of average usage no ocing or anything. That put me right off them as was a right pain in the arse. Saying that though they are specced well for the price so may be worth the risk as have heard that some work well others are like mine, bit of a gamble really. Alhough gotta agree with the whole overpriced nforce boards thing, recently been trying out tri sli with the 780i and that was really steep 150 quid or something.
