Conclusion:
Overall we're very impressed with ASRock's K10N780SLIX3-WiFi
and they seem to be taking more and more steps towards putting out
very high-end motherboards but also trying to maintain value. This
does though put it in a somewhat odd position of at times competing
against Asus and the K10N780SLIX3-WiFi does very much that with
excellent onboard features, a cutting edge chipset, and a very good
overclocker. While we'd still recommend an Asus 780a for slightly
better overclocking it is close and the ASRock has it's own unique
features such as onboard Wi-Fi. That said the BIOS could still use
some work but the reductions it makes to reduce price such as doing
away with integrated video and using audio onboard the motherboard
rather than a seperate add on card are ones that I'm sure many users
can definitely live with. The picture is a little blurred though as
currently the motherboard is not available for sale so it's hard to
gauge exactly how much a value it is. If it can come in under $200
and especially $180 then ASRock will have a real winner on it's
hands. For now we can say this is another step up for ASRock in
quality.
Score: 92%
