ASRock's incredibly affordable P55 mobo.

The P55 chipset is the most desirable platform for any enthusiast today; offering great overclockability, nice expansion options and a good price.

ASRock brings that price even lower than before with their P55M PRO, a P55-based mATX mobo rocking in at the bargain-basement price of only $145.

To get this low it skimps on a few features such as Packet Switch chips and some SATA ports, but a decent chunk of options you'd need are still here.

Crossfire or SLI is not something you'd want to run here due to limited bandwidth, but for the price it's definitely got some things going for it.

Head into the gallery of pics to see more of this mobo, and keep your eyes open for the full review in an upcoming Issue of Atomic.

RaRaDawg Sep 28, 2009 5:25 PM	Wow! That is pretty cheap.
MagnumXY Sep 28, 2009 6:57 PM	Definitely cheap, but at what cost? Asrock aren't exactly the best when it comes to performance.

khanbm Sep 28, 2009 6:59 PM	Looks pretty good. I am surprised that there is only one heatsink on the board though and it only has 4 expansion slots. Otherwise, it looks like pretty good deal. Don't know about reliability though. http://www.buildyourown-computer.com
osama_bin_athlon Sep 28, 2009 9:25 PM	you get what you pay for, I guess. I'd rather spend a few more dollars and get something decent.
bnew Sep 29, 2009 8:24 AM	khanbm, you can reasonably expect most 1156 socket motherboards to only have one main heatsink. Because of the way many functions are now performed by the CPU we have really moved away from the traditional north/south bridge configuration.
