Many people who have media systems will be familiar with the Matroska (.mkv) file format which is often used for high definition video.  In this test we will be using VLC Media Player to play a 1080P MKV file of Tron Legacy (ripped from our BluRay disc) while recording CPU usage.

Again, some fantastic results from the system averaging just 6 percent CPU time.

  1. WOw that is a heck of a board. I think this will be on my list next month.

  2. Arent they a part of ASUS? I dont know why people wouldnt expect them to be great if they are.

    Nice looking product.

  3. great boards from ASROCK. I bought their AMD board last month and its been flawless. good overclocking bios too.

  4. Looks great, but fatal1ty in the bios as a picture? Id want to spend as little time in there as often.

    They should do a cameron diaz version 🙂

  5. I like these boards, I hope to buy one when I am paid, but I might go for asus as I had an asus board before and it was great. asrock are generally a bit better value.

  6. Excellent im sold. Price isnt too bad considering

  7. I like the layout, and the bios is great. Can you remove the fatality image in the bios? That would drive me nuts

  8. Asus dont make these boards. As far as i know they are seperate companies now
