Introduction

When I first heard of Asrock they were known for making very cheap motherboards that had questionable quality. Most people would not recommend them due to them being budget boards. Well, it has been quite a few years since that time and Asrock has been making a name for themselves ever since. They are no longer a budget board maker and put out some top notch hardware.

Asrock was kind enough to send their latest and greatest motherboard, the X79 Professional.
