    Question Thoughts on asrock?

    Trying to decide weather I should buy a
    ASRock 990FX Extreme3 motherboard or an ASUS M5A99FX-PRO-R2
    The motherboard I am currently using is an ASrock 880GM LE FX (in other words micro ATX piece of shit)
    Since I'm using a micro ATX motherboard I'm not really wanting to judge ASrock just yet :L
    I've heard that ASrock is just pretty much a copy of ASUS only that it comes with 1 year less warranty or something?
    but in this case, I'm buying it from a place that offers 3 years warranty on both mobo's.
    I will also be buying a AMD FX 8120 8 core processor (don't try convince me to change to intel please -.-)
    SoOoOoOoOo whats your opinion?

    Honestly both motherboards are pretty similar in price and performance... I think now it really comes down to which color suits you best?

    ASRock is pretty much Asus.
    Asus owns Pegatron which owns ASRock.

    Mkay so all micro atx motherboards are bad now? Get lost with your biased opinions. And unless you are rendering, an i3 2100 will do a better job at gaming than an turddozer from amd.

    For intel cpu's (1155) get an asrock extreme 4, best price/performance
    For amd cpu's (am3+) get any 990fx chipset from asrock
