Do ASRock offer motherboards with good quality in general ?
Is "ASRock" the new brand of Elitegroup?
ASRock is the value brand and subsidiary of ASUS. However, ASRock has
used ECS designs in the past for its value motherboards. In fact, so
has ASUS from time to time (and just about everyone else in the
market). e.g. several of ABIT's value segment boards are ECS rebrands.
Nothing wrong with ECS motherboards, at least in their overall design.
Generally speaking, the areas where ECS is weak are areas that the
branding company has an opportunity to improve upon, such as BIOS
support/refinement and component selection (e.g. better capacitors).
ASRock has a good BIOS team that most likely starts with an ECS
reference BIOS then assumes all future development, rather than just
passing along the ECS BIOS with ASRock branding.
ASRock's own board designs offer some unique features and are very good
performers for the money, often holding their own against enthusiast
class boards costing twice as much. In my experience, ASRock boards
have no more and no less troubles than ASUS, MSI, DFI, Gigabyte, or any
other motherboard company. I've never had to submit a request for tech
support, but I hear ASRock's support is more responsive than most
others.
