ASRock Z77 OC Formula Motherboard

Although they eventually ended up recommending the ASRock Z77 OC Formula motherboard, the crew at techPowerUP had more than a few things they didn't like about this board either. Here's a quote: This board is really good, but, in the end, it is just not my personal cup of tea. It is not for new users unless they want to jump into system tweaking right away, and if so, they best be prepared for a quick and short education. Yet, at the same time, it's pretty forgiving when you do get things wrong. It is great, but it sacrifices too much to be able to excel at anything other than that which appeals to the real die-hard enthusiast.
