Hardware specifications... yup, that's how I voted. And since this might be heading to AsRock dev team... I'd like to add that they consider developing some reasonable documentation to accompany their hardware, something I've unfortunately found is lacking...extremely lacking...in AsRock's FX990 Extreme9 MB package. I've been tinkering inside computers since C-64 days, through A-3000 days, and now into AM3+ mobos...and their idea of manuals is truly deficient.

Hardware specs alright. Though I must say that nowadays, when going for the top tier boards, the differences in performance are so close that you can buy almost blind. Going from 15 to 20fps in a game is an enormous amelioration. Going from 60 to 65 however, is negligable...

it would be nice if there was a choice for warranty. I came here to find out the warranty on the z97 extreme 6 ac which shows 1 year on newegg. I hope that is not right. For a premium board I would not buy one with less than 3 years.
jmho. other than that features I am a bang for your buck kind of guy.

My sentiment exactly!!
I was looking at a few ASRock boards for an upcoming build and thought I wanted to try out a different brand than I usually use just to mix up my experience but when I see 1 yr warranty, that is a definite DEAL BREAKER for me. Especially at these price points. Wake up ASRock. That is just unacceptable in this game. I for one will never buy in with that kind of backing.
Also, your ASRock. com website needs a real overhaul / upgrade. That is also a good sign of the kind of caring a company puts out to their potential buyers.

Thanx TT for this podium.
Cheers

This is a trend I have been seeing lately in a lot of products across the board. I think it is because almost everything is made in China now, and it is all mostly junk.
