i am not buying Z77 Chipset because i am not going to overclock my cpu. stock speed of 3550S 3.0GHz is enough for me :D

I bought total of 5 of these motherboards. 1 for personal computer and 4 for office machines.

The configuration was i3220 + Kingston 8G RAM + Kingston SSD + Corsair power supply + Cooler master cabinet and you get the gist.

My first choice was Asus motherboard. due to price difference I chose ASRock over Asus. My first concern was the durability or quality of motherboard. I wasn't concerned about chipset or other peripherals available on the board.

My first impression was it looked very...

this motherboard has all the features and is the best value for money u can get
i am using it with i5 3450 and corsair vangeance and it all runs like beast
if u want to overclock then this is not the mobo for u

its a power packed motherboard with all features just click the buy now button

i5 3450 3.1ghz
Asrock h77pro4 mobo

Im using this motherboard for 2 months for my i5 3570k and in my opinion it has everything fast boot time,fast sata,fast usb,fast lan and super fast speed for gaming in virtu mvp control so you can share your processor graphics for your graphic card.

and not just this, Everything is perfect like front usb 3.0 , 8 sata (4 sata3)(4 sata2)

but warning you have to check your cabinet size for this board cause this board is long.

anyway if you have to buy a mid range gaming board go for it.

Great value and works fine, but I'd like to point out the issues with mine.
The onboard sound quality is poor compared to... say, a Samsung note 2 or an LG optimus 2x cell phone or my old HP pavilion laptop, especially the lower end of the spectrum and highly resistant to software based bass boosting. But the sound probably is what can be expected at the price.
Also, with windows 8, USB 3.0 devices would work as USB 2.0 after every shut down; when fast startup is enabled; or hibernation until...

This board is total value for money considering various aspects.

Some salient points

1. Plenty of USB ports including USB 3.0
2. Two PCIe slots and neatly spaced out so it can take in large graphic cards.
3. 4 memory slots for future upgradation
4. Good sound output from the onboard Realtek chip

Using for a year. PC is rock solid :)

Excellent mobo,
beautiful bios n many more thing
do not think that its cheap. it does have good built quality,

drivers are good,

temp sensing, Voltage sensing really are cool things.
i combined it with i7 3770 3rd gen
In box does have everything needed.

so Buy it and it will surprise you beautifully!!!!!!
ASrock rocks

After using this board for six months, getting over with my laziness I finally post my verdict.

a) The board is well built and is fairly large enough to accommodate custom heat sink 4 chips of RAM.
b) I mounted the biggest card I could lay hands on this board and it fits in well.
c) The performance is awesome. It comes with quality sound card and other useful applications.

NB: Don't fancy using lucid software it somehow messed up my game graphics.

I received this motherboard a little bent,i was tensed initially i thought it was damaged ,but it worked well when i connected it ....users will have to be careful while installing Gpu or Ram ....the motherboard is quite delicate.....its worth the price though

One fine day , my computer just refused to start. After doing all sorts of checking, cross checking, it turned out the motherboard has gone phat!! I was so sad as this was a new motherboard and I didn't even use it for a month.

The motherboard is still lying with ASRock service center in Mumbai - I gave it on 16th December.

Make your own decision now. It's cheap yes, but you know why now. Bad product, pathetic service.
