I've been looking at all P55 boards and i noticed that the ASRock range is considerably cheaper that the rest. Especially the range topping P55 Deluxe model which costs about £135. Looking at the specs here , nothing else comes close at that price even up to the boards costing £160+. Am I missing something?

It even comes with an sata 3 6Gb/s card

Also how come OcUK don't stock any asrock boards?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with it - it's probably the same motherboard as the top of the range ASUS, maybe with slightly cheaper capacitors and a slimmed down chipset cooling solution (probably not though), and mainly just down to ASRock happy to be Skoda to ASUS's Audi.

I have the delux as I though it was a great spec for the price. Ive got my new PC booted but am waiting for my 5850 and H50 before I can fully test it and o/c.

It looks nice too and seems high quality. Capacitors are apparently good ones according to the spec.
