ASRock X58 Mainboard Review |
|
Unlike many well-known computer brands that started back in the past century, ASRock was founded not that long ago – back in May of 2002. Despite this relatively short period of time, the company quickly became recognized worldwide. At first, ASRock mainboards attracted attention due to extravagant combinations of seemingly incompatible CPUs, chipsets and various technologies. Then the company won the hearts of certain user groups due to their high-quality budget and mainstream solutions. However, in late 2007 we learned that the company was going to enter the expensive mainboard market. This information proved absolutely true: ASRock started offering solutions based on high-end chipsets, such as Intel X38/X48 Express that couldn’t be cheap by definition. At that time we didn’t have a chance to check out these new solutions, so we are going to correct this omission today, by reviewing one of the newest ASRock mainboards proudly bearing an impressive name of X58 SuperComputer. The name suggests that the board is based on the newest Intel X58 Express chipset and supports Intel Core i7 processors. However, let’s not reveal all the details here. We are going to start as always with the package and accessories.
