My Planned Ivy Bridge build

[samisnake]

you have to flash a patched bios on the asrock too http://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt/47397-msi-asrock-foxconn-1155-patched-bios-thread.html
if thats why you dont like asus anymore.
all non-gigabyte boards need either a patched bios, or patched appleintelcpupowermanagement kext.

flashing a patched bios is exactly the same as updating a stock bios. itll be documented in the manual if thats what you have issue with.

the problem with that ASRock Z77 Extreme4 is that as the lan isnt supported, the appstore and icloud wont work (they need ethernet to be present, even if it isnt being used).
an option with that board would be to get a pcie lan card.

As of Last year New Egg didnt deal with aussies, my ex was in america and I ordered some Raid 5 Hot swap drive cages and as I was using a aussie credit card they refused my order. I am guessing this will still be the case as it wasnt that long ago.

No Worries if you are willing to buy from new egg then why not just order the motherboard from amazon they are good with delivery most of the time and I think the prices arent that far off from new egg anyways.
