ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac Review


Even though I am a big fan of the UEFI (unified extensible firmware interface) BIOS, ASRock leaves me unimpressed.  Don’t get me wrong, everything you need is in there (and then some) from a functional perspective, but it just looks cold and like it fell out of an insert from a Special Edition TRON BD.  This is two in a row for me.  The ASUS Z97-AR was a little hard to look at, and this one is a bit too “Mr. Freeze” for me.

Unlike others, there is no simple mode for the novice.  Instead, you are thrust into a tweaker’s madness.

OC Tweaker can be a playground for those that are looking to have a little fun or a graveyard of endless BSDs for anyone that quick clicks.
