Has any one got one of these boards yet? I'm interested in how they are performing and what memory and speed are you using with them. LMK.

ASRock X99 OC Formula or ASRock X99 Professional feedback?

Are you benching? Get the OCF. Not, get the Pro.
EDIT: Wow. The Pro is $20 more than the OCF... get the OCF if those are your only choices. But note you can get away with a much less expensive motherboard for general uses and moderate (ambient) overclocking. For example, I have heard good things about the MSI X99S SLI Plus...

I have one, will not have any results for at least week though.
New BIOS just came out so will be taking a look at that tomorrow, but am limping
My rods are stripped out and no one has 4mm in stock, so hoping I can get some by Friday , if not I will miss out on the weekend
pretty make shift for now, found an old air cooler I have zip tied it down so I can install OS's and software so it is ready to go as soon as I get the rods
Once I am up and running though will be glad to give you some retail insight , Sorry no magic stix or ES chips

Killer LAN is actually cheaper to install on a board than Intel
I preffere Intel LAN personally

Me too. What I don't know is the difference between Intel I218V and Qualcomm Atheros AR8171

Seems like Intel has a bit less overhead,
both seem just as fast though

Thanks guys for your feedback, I hope to hear more from the W Doctor on his exploits. I noticed the two boards are very similar in layout not much different. I haven't owned an ASrock board yet so maybe giving it a shot as bang for the buck really looks good.

Never owned an AsRock, too. After the Asus disaster, I'm giving a shot to this mobo. It should arrive Thursday....

Which one did you go with, they have a full line
Think you will like it regaudless of your choice. AsRock has been really putting out some top notch stuff over the last few gens
I think they will continue to do so on their way to being one of the premiere board makers out there.

2 more days oh the agony of waiting. I wish I could see your face as you open the box for the first time. Oh the smell of a new MOBO, AWESOME! Let us know how the build goes.

If the first mobo didn't bring the CPU with it to hell, I should have something by the end of the weekend. Unfortunately now I'm busy with my job/studies, so I won't have time to test it properly.
