Obviously every motherboard comes with it's problems the problems may have been more aware as it's a popular board. But in all fairness I cannot give you a balanced answer as I have not experienced the Asrock 'in action' as it were, having just bought the non pro version of that Asus board myself. In most cases it seems that the price differencehave swayed most people, so my personal conclusion is that the Asus is the one to go with.
