- Giveaways
At long last I've got the announcement for the two winners of our Radeon HD 5770 giveaway: ALoserIsYou and tester42. You should both have an email from me, respond so I can get your prizes out to you :)
The giveaways are far from over, let's give away a motherboard shall we? And not just any motherboard, an AMD motherboard with the 890GX chipset. ASRock was kind enough to send its 890GX Extreme3 for our anniversary giveaways:
To enter the contest simply respond to this post with a comment (please only respond once). Good luck!
Now the rules. This contest is unfortunately only available to US residents in one of the 50 states. I realize that AnandTech is an international site and I do highly value all of our readers, unfortunately extending the contest rules outside of the US is a bit more than we're able to reliably handle today. That's not to say that we won't at some point in the future, we just have little experience doing such things and don't want to get burned early on.
Secondly, you are only allowed to enter once.
Entries will be accepted from 11:30 AM EDT on September 29, 2010 through 11:30 AM EDT on September 30, 2010. Winner will be selected by October 1, 2010.
Good luck everyone :)

I would love a new board!JPForums - Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - link
I've been wondering about the quality of ASRock for a while now, but never took the plunge.However, this board would be and easy drop in replacement to one of two boards I currently own.
I'd be all for giving them a shot under the circumstances.

This would be a nice upgrade for me.StevoLincolnite - Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - link
I've got this exact same board, when I first got it, it was Dead on Arrival, got a replacement and it's been fine for a few months.Biggest strength about Asrock is the price, which is why I keep buying them.
I do have an old Asrock A780GMH board that I have had for a few years which has ran flawlessly as-well.

I've had several of their motherboards starting with the 939Dual-VSTA and they have all been rock solid.They also seem to truly think out of the box when it comes to the design of some of their boards
