ASRock P55 Deluxe3

Zitat: The P55 Deluxe3 motherboard from ASRock was nice to work with; it offers lots of BIOS options but also some pre-defined settings for beginner users. The cooling that this board uses for the MOSFETs is very good and it was only a little warm in high stress environment like 15 minutes of OCCT to determine system stability. The bundle that ASRock offers on the CD is full of applications, but, unfortunately, most of them are trial versions. I would have proffered this board to come with a full version license of the X-FI MB software, which enhances the audio experience with the onboard CODEC. There are also some ASRock utilities included, that help us to overclock on-the-fly, see the amount of energy saved or save our BIOS settings and share them with our friends (in the case they have identical setups as ours). The SATA600, USB 3.0 and eSATA III are some very nice additions to the board so we will be able to connect lots of compatible devices when more will be available on the market; having the chips integrated on the motherboard is also a good thing because we do not have to install additional cards to occupy extra slots and space inside the case. This motherboard is also compatible with AIWI and App Charger. At ~$180 this ASRock motherboard hovers between value and mid-range, offering future proof features with a mainstream CPU socket; not quite the budget board we’re used to from ASRock, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, seeing as the increased price also translates into a more feature rich product.
