I was looking at the Asrock motherboard manual and its BIOS settings. They are basically the same except for some layout differences to my Biostar. They have the same chipset so I would presume similar performance.
I did not know that Asrock is part of ASUS. That suprised me. ASUS boards I have found to be tempermental. Sure, you can get some speed out of them, but they do not seem too stable once you get out of the stock settings. I have some of their older stuff here and they worded well as long as you did not press them hard. Asrock on the other hand seeem to enjoy being hammered.
Mind you, I am not knocking Asus. My last build was an Asus a7v400-MX and it worked well for YEARS. I kept upgrading it till it was basically max'd out. Now it is the kids machine and I expect to get a decade of use out of it. It just keeps on going.
MSI now.. well, I have learned to hate thier stuff. Never had anything but trouble out of them.
