Hi, Chris: Mine is an Asrock Z77Pro4 mobo. This machine is vintage 2013. My requirements at the time included 3 PCI slots, and a mobo with that many wasn't easy to find. Nowadays I only use two! <sigh> I'm going to be more careful with the next mobo. I'm not going to assume just because they have UEFI, they've done a good implementation. But then, I should also upgrade my firmware, as it's stock as shipped, and quite out of date. In most respects it's been a good board. It was Bill Acker's favorite build machine.
