Introduction to the Asrock P55 Extreme
The introduction of the Lynnfield processor from Intel brought a boat-load of motherboards based on the Intel P55 chipset. The first motherboard we tested was the Gigabyte EP55-UD6. It's a great motherboard with a lot to offer in the form of overclocking and ram slots. Not to be out done by anyone, we soon after received the Asrock P55 Extreme.
Asrock is known for making low cost motherboards using older chip sets and adding new and up-to-date features to them. Times have changed and Asrock is no longer known for these types of motherboards.
