    Question Overclocked bundles - Why no Asrock?

    I know Scan do sell Asrock mobos but they never seem to appear on Today Only and aren't even an option on the OC bundles, any reason why?

    I think the Extreme 4/6 and OC models would go well with some of the other components already chosen.

    PS As an aside, why not go the whole hog and offer a 'case' option (alongside PSU, GFX card and OS), it'd make shipping easier and safer too I'd have thought.

    Cool Re: Overclocked bundles - Why no Asrock?

    I know why! Because they don't want to sell me an upgrade bundle at all! Because I smell. Like Teen Spirit.

    Meh.

    The boards are not the best so we favour other brands, we can use Asrock if you really want one in an OC Bundle.

    Best Regards
