ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 UPDATE: Now $120 AC+FS@SuperBiiz

[ItsAlive]

This seems to be a fairly hot price for this board. I have ordered alot from Superbiiz and have never had a problem with any of my items. I also have been using Asrock boards for awhile now and they seem to be great quality.

$5 off $25: DOVE

Enjoy!

Excuse my noobness. This is sandy bridge right? Sandy bridge is supposed to be the fastest right? On one site I looked at (to comparison shop) it said this;
"To run the PCI Express 3.0 slots in Gen 3 speed, please must install the Ivy Bridge CPU which supports PCI Express 3.0. If you install the Sandy Bridge CPU, the PCI Express 3.0 slots will run only at Gen2 speed."
What is Ivy bridge? Is that last gen?

Wait....doing some shopping...how is this a deal?
I can find it everywhere for near that price;

Ivybridge hasn't been released yet, but this board should support it for a drop in upgrade over Sandybridge.

Your link to the newegg board is $132.86 after you include shipping. Also I'm unsure if SuperBiiz charges tax or not but I know Newegg does for some places.

Nice price! This board is a good deal at Newegg's price of $133. It's a GREAT deal at $115!

In addition to Ivy Bridge support, this board also has PCI-e x16 3.0 slots. It seems to be the most future-proof board out there right now.

Edit: 1% cashback at FW and ebates.

Last I checked, $114.99 < $132.86. For a board that's already a bargain at the $133 price, saving an extra $17 and change seems like a pretty hot deal to me!

ok, i've been on the fence about this board for too long. I'm in.

Doh I ordered this from Newegg yesturday! wish I had seen the Superbiz deal!. Oh well 2500k, 8 GB of Ram and this board. Hopefully I'll get it Friday, if not Monday won't be to bad!

Doh, they also have the 2500k for $5 cheaper, and the 2600k for $7 cheaper than Newegg! I've used these guys for RAM before and they have always been great. Wish I thought of it again!

Same here. Now it's time to see if NCIX will match Microcenter's price on the 2500k.

I'm in too. And NCIX will match Microcenter's price on the 2600k so I don't know why they wouldn't on the 2500k too.

I was wondering this also, but on NCIX it says 8 - 10 days until it ships. I'd almost pay the extra $20 to have it in 3 days from Newegg.

EDIT: Scratch that they updated their website it says 1 - 2 days to ship now. They must have been waiting on a shipment or something.

Until you try to return something to SuperBiz. Then, the extra price paid at Newegg begins to look like a bargain.

I've had one RMA there (a PSU that was DOA) and I had no problems with it. They sent me a shipping label and got the new one sent as soon as the dead unit arrived. Anyway, looking at their resellerratings, they are rated pretty highly and the few low rated reviews I saw when I browsed some of the reviews, were responded to in a reasonable manner.

Doesn't matter too much to me since I'm not in the process of upgrading my PC, but if I was, I'd "risk it" to save the extra ~$20.

If you look at the other thread, NCIX is not pricematching but they offering a $189 counter offer

Based on the comments at newegg the build quality of the board sounds iffy.
