I got a full refund from newegg and went with a asus maximus extreme z. No issues on the board at all. Asrock just dropped the ball on this one and like others i just got a bad board it seems. And i just didn't feel like playing rma and board swap to keep trying.
@ Arise; Thanks for the updated info. Just seems i got a bad board, so i went with another brand this go around. Thanks
@ The pci-express 3.0 comment; really by the time you need it you will be updating your motherboard honestly. It isn't like you are going to need it with your current gen video cards. It is a nice feature to have but not needed right now.
@ Windows 8 comment; I'm not sure what you mean by this. Windows 8 will care less if you have a pci-express 3.0 or lower when you install it. Thanks
