I generally consider myself to be well aware of all the differences in hardware, or as much as one can, and, tend to stay up on issues. Yet I just can't seem to put my finger on the AsRock X79 hate that I see, which seems entirely unjustified. Maybe I am missing something, anyone care to explain?
It seems as though the moment you ask about X79 people immediately say "Asus, everything else is crap!". Now, I haven't had an X79 product before, but all the AsRock boards I have had with other chipset/sockets have been fantastic. From those experiences I just can't see AsRock completely dropping the ball on X79. Yet there is a very distinct hate towards AsRock in the segment, is it so strong simply because AsRock is actually a good bit of competition for Asus?
Do tell.
