I don't see any hate, just a mature exchange of experiences and opinions. And it is true that Gigabyte boards tend to offer higher quality parts for their price vs the competitors (not just ASRock).

The extreme4 (the asrock board at my price point) is shorter than regular ATX. It's missing 3 standoffs on the right side, leaving it hanging there with no support.

Well mine is about 1.5 hours away, but its pretty much a straight shot on the highway, so it isn't too bad. This will be my first visit there. Even after factoring in gas I'm still saving money.

The Z77 Extreme 4 isn't normal size ATX, its not as wide. That with the combo of the PCB color and their mosfets were a big turn off for me.

No hate on ASRock here at all! <-- Big fan! Super fast post time, very solid BIOSes, very intuitive. Haven't had any problems at all with multiple builds and OSs, and I've used Extreme4 and Z77E-ITX.

One of my favorite CPU coolers, where'd you find one though? I though they were discontinued.
