asrock is a pc parts manufacturer. used to see them a lot but in recent years not so much. I like their motherboards.

They're still one of the most prominent companies if you're shopping for a mainboard or graphics card. They even have Intel GPUs in their lineup.

They're pretty damn big now. My MB is Asrock, it's one of the best for the AM5 generation. Tons of users are running their boards with the 9800x3d.

A few years ago (when Intel's 12th gen got released) got an i7 11700kf + a Z590 mobo for $180 USD from a guy on Marketplace, and the motherboard is an AsRock Z590ac . The price was a steal but now it got me wondering if the previous owner didn't know the brand and that's why he got rid of it so cheap. Still works great and even runs Mac OS with clover.

ASRock, as per the lore passed down to me by a former coworker, started as a low cost, second line, for ASUS.

They would just throw crazy mobos together, often with new technologies and new types of components, to test the reaction of the markets. If a particular feature or design was well accepted, ASUS would improve it, repackage it and sell main brand boards with it.

Apparently, at some point, the brand became so popular it was spun-off and became a company on its own.

I have very good experience with their products.

You're welcome. And you nick name sounds both awsome and terrifying, all at the same time!
