Do not buy asrock intel motherboards for FreeBSD

He's not wrong. ASrock is just bad in general, it's not just FreeBSD you should avoid it on..

They have THE most fucky, broken firmware you could ever ask for, whether it is the EUFI or the various controllers, it is pretty messed up either way..

Their only redeeming quality is they (used) to be good cheap boards for OCing (if you used windows)

I will not spam about it here but I have scores of old stories of asrock board weirdness that to this day just boggles my mind

Chromebooks use Coreboot, BTW. I wish everyone did. A lot of these problems would go away.

My little anecdote for the pile: I have an Asrock motherboard that refuses to boot in BIOS mode. It fails to post if I dare to even enable the CSM (Compatibility Support Module).

those lga 1155/1156 boards always had terrible support for that kind of stuff. Had to update the bios on my fathers' just to get it to boot disks using GPT (Winbloze 10 wouldn't have it any other way)
