Administrators are able to schedule the starting and ending hours of internet access granted to other users. Normally, ISPs (Internet Service Provider) will charge for internet curfew service. The service controls “all” the PCs connected at home through network remotely but all the PCs in that network will be restricted to access the internet at pre-setup times. However, ASRock OMG is a free tool for controlling internet access of each single PC. Parents can easily control internet access through BIOS setup to protect their kids from using Internet at inappropriate time, and meanwhile, enjoy their own internet space.

1 out of 5 eggs BAD BOARD

Pros: It helped me realize never to buy an ASRock product again.

Cons: 2nd motherboard, 2nd set of problems!
1st - DOA (Not Newegg's fault...love you!)
2nd - Narrowed it down to the PCIe slot.

Other Thoughts: Don't bother with this cheap product. Stick with other brands that build quality product.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear ASRock Customer We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. ASRock mainboards are fully tested to assure that they're working before shipped. Unfortunately, due to nature of electronic product, it can happen. For the PCIE issue, please set the UEFI BIOS default. Test with another known good VGA card and power supply is providing enough power (please refer to VGA card's power requirement). Test on another PCIE slot. If you have any technical questions or warranty issues please contact our Tech Support at http://www.ASRock.com/support/tsd.asp. We can assist you shortly.

1 out of 5 eggs Dead in 7 mo.

Pros: None

Cons: It was nice when it worked, but now it doesn't. These boards are too cheap.

Other Thoughts: I'll think twice about buying any more ASrock products.

5 out of 5 eggs Not quite a year - Follow up

Pros: Price
Features
Looks
Warranty & Customer Service (look for review previously titled Not quite a year)

Cons: Possibly some boards (like mine) won't make a full year but the plus side is that I had no trouble getting it replaced (hence warranty & customer service listed in pros). These things happen.

Other Thoughts: Never had to call newegg in the end, since I received a response with an RMA form to fill in same day. Filled it in and sent back, RMA # issued shortly thereafter. I sent board back, arrived with ASRock May 13th, ASRock sent replacement out May 14th, received 22nd (would have been 21st but was not in to sign for it). ASRock also notified me of receipt of the motherboard, but the RMA dept turned it around so quick, that it was already with the shippers before I got the confirmation! Nice.

Was impressed with the customer support, was no nonsense having me check things unnecessarily, and was kept updated during the process. Simply filled in the online form and responded to the subsequent RMA email. Can't ask for more than that.

Replacement board I'm happy to report, works great, ASRock informed me that the replacement had been tested prior to shipment, and was carrying most recent BIOS.
Very happy with that, since the thing boots up much faster than before. BIOS screen is much quicker, and windows boots faster too (wasn't exactly slow, since using SSD anyway, but still noticeably quicker).

Hopefully this one will go the full distance until I'm ready to replace it. Either way, have no problems using ASRock boards for mine and other future builds.

5 out of 5 eggs Great board at a great price

Pros: I purchased this board when they had a bundle with this and Gskill ram 8gb ddr3 1600 free with it. Awesome budget board, UEFI is very easy to navigate. I was able to flash the bios prior to installing Windows within the UEFI screen. Excellent OC options and very easy to configure.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Recognizes most if not all RAM as DDR3 1333 at first until you manually set it to whatever speed your RAM is. Not a big deal just set it manually and it will run great.

2 out of 5 eggs Not quite a year

Pros: Price
Features
Looks (not that it matters to me)

Purchased 5/20/2012 and worked flawlessly from then until yesterday.

Cons: Didn't even make one year. Disappointingly yesterday, I pressed the power button and nothing at all. I could still turn the num lock LED on my keyboard on off, but after trying everything (testing power switch, testing PSU and all other connected components, CMOS clear) could not persuade it to fire up.
Very disappointed, have had many ASRock boards over the years, and always been impressed, the oldest one (an AM2 board) still in service in the living room machine which stays on 24/7.

Other Thoughts: Have sent support email through ASRock's website, which upon completion tells you to contact the vendor through which you purchased it. Will do that ( though I'm sure since it's outside of the 30day period since purchase, they will tell me to contact ASRock) and will update this once I've been through the replacement process.

This is a 5 Star board while working, knocked 3

Manufacturer Response:

Dear ASRock Customer We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Sorry to hear that the mainboard has malfunctioned after 11 months of use which’s due to nature of electronic product, it can happen. Please update the feedback for replacement mainboard is working fine.

4 out of 5 eggs Asrock Z77 Pro4

Pros: - Comes with a few nice features
- Decent BIOS and easy overclocking
- Hasn't bent/warped from my large NH-D14 heatsink

Cons: - RAM slots 1 and 2 are defective. Only #3 and #4 work. This makes it impossible to run my memory in Dual-Channel.

2 out of 5 eggs I suppose you get what you pay for

Pros: Cheap board with a lot of usb and sata.

Cons: This board was the center of all the problems with my build. The biggest issue being that one of the PCI-E slots is bad. It took my so long to catch that.... >.<

Manufacturer Response:

Dear ASRock Customer We sincerely apologize that you having difficulty with mainboard. For the PCIE slot issue, please reseat the VGA card to assure card is fully contact with the slot and VGA power connectors. Test with another known good VGA card. Set the PCIE link speed to Gen1 at BIOS, Advanced, North Bridge Configuration, PCIE link speed [Gen1].
