Out of the box, the setup was fairly simple. Had to remove some bloatware, no big deal. But after about 2 days it began giving blue screens about 3 times per hour. I troubleshooted the issue for days, with no actual answer in sight. I ended up reinstalling Windows 10 from USB. All was okay for a few hours - and then a NEW blue screen code started happening at random. More troubleshooting, asking questions on forums, no solution in sight. Ended up reinstalling Windows 10 AGAIN. This is now where Im at. Ive had a few blue screens happen here and there, but for the most part everything has finally been running smoothly. *knocks on wood* Also, the AsRock motherboard doesnt seem to exist anywhere. Not on the AsRock website, not on any 3rd party website, it just doesnt exist. So for anyone looking for driver/BIOS support for the motherboard is SOL. On to a lighter note, gaming performance is fantastic, and exceeded my original expectations. Grand Theft Auto 5 runs smooth as butter on Ultra settings, getting FPS upwards of 100-120 at any given time. Apex Legends similarly runs at max settings with 0 stuttering. This rig will comfortably run just about anything you throw at it. Very impressed with performance. Pros: Easy setup Great gaming performance General multitasking/everyday use is a breeze RGB is a nice touch if youre into that Cons: Problems (possibly with hardware) out of the box No motherboard/driver support from AsRock Iffy driver support from iBuyPowers website
