Anyone have the ASrock p67 Fatality Performance edition?

The one with the single PCI x16 slot. I'm curious about how it performs in the real world, not just with these synthetic benchmark reviews. I'm considering upgrading my aging machine and this board is reasonably priced and includes IDE ports which while not a big deal to most is a feature I like to have. I only have one or two SATA HDD's in my entire home.

Does the board overclock well? That's a big thing to me. Also please don't point out that it only has one x16 slot, I don't care. I'm never going to SLI or Xfire.
 
from reviews ive read it seems to be a fine board and does o/clock well..id use it in a heartbeat for a modest 1155 system...2500k and your all set....you dont need much of a board to run these SB cpu's...voltage regulation looks good with 10 regulators.....
sold out at newegg, must tell you something...
 
ASRock makes a good board, construction wise, and it is full of features. Mine will one-click overclock the 2600K to 4.8Ghz. I've had two ASRock boards, an older Athlon 64 board, and it was well made too.

Since you are asking for opinions: The only caution I can give you is concerning the USB controller / firmware / drivers on my Extreme4 Z68 (yes you asked about the Fatality, so use this for what its worth). Test the USB ports with all of your devices (thumb drives, externals, cameras) as soon as your rig is built and make sure you've installed all latest BIOS and USB drivers from the site. The CDs in the box are outdated. I'm having issues with the USB controller on the board and I'm not the first. Some get resolution when they update, but some don't. The symptom is, with some USB devices, the device takes a long time to recognize, or won't recognize at all. ASRock support is spotty about response, in my experience. With that in consideration only, I cannot recommend ASRock and suggest ASUS or Intel instead. If they clear the issue up tomorrow with an update, then I'd say it is an unbeatable board for the price.
