Thanks. Any idea of how the whole thing works, i.e., do I go to their office and pay them and they give me the mobo or do they send the mobo to my place and then I pay the guy or anything else?

Again, slightly overpriced. ~8K would have been killer price for Extreme4.

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

^^ I agree with dfcols71., 8k is too less for Extreme 4., as it consist of more sata ports, more USB 3.0 & ofcourse the Z77 chipset + a MAINSTREAM board.

@ d6bmg >> AND ASRock boards are already at killer prices

@ SunE >> You can't assume every other board price to be same as US Dollars., they'r may be some exceptions like you found and several other factors are responsible to decide the price for INDIA and good mainstream boards would never be going to sell in here in reference to dollars.

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

Boards which have a good chance of selling (low-end/lower mid-range/mATX) will sell at prices that are equivalent to their american prices because they can move more units, thus maintaining the profit target for the quarter.

For higher end boards, the chance of a sale is less and thus the profit has to be jacked up to meet expectations.

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

^^ Hahaha yes I completely agree with you. But dfcols71 asked for any motherboard and I gave him an exceptional case which is what he asked for. Also 8k is not too less for Extreme 4, it's perfect Anyways I can spend up to 9k for it soif it's available at that price then it's good else will have to go for Gigabyte.

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

[topgear]

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

[dfcols71]

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

so what are your suggesting is
better to avoid asus mb ?
by the way i thought pegatron only makes mb for note books
and apples pressure may have compelled them to pull out from asus

Call their head office at Mumbai. Only they'll be able to tell you the exact price. The regional office guys are not that informed.

IMO, Extreme 6 might be around 12K.

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

Asus' ending of relations with Pegatron may cause an increase in prices. Pegatron was/is a priority buyer of motherboard components (VRM chokes, capacitors, various chips) and thus got those at a discount.

I'm not sure if ECS and others can do the same thing. ECS can definitely pack in the manufacturing quality but the capacitor/choke quality may take a hit for lower end motherboards.

On the other hand, this is bad for Pegatron/ASRock as well because Asus owns ASMedia (SATA3/USB3.0 controller designer) and also has priority for audio chips from VIA, which means ASRock will not have priority access to these chips anymore, forcing them to search for alternatives.

Still, Pegatron and Asus will remain related through subsidiaries/partners like APAQ and ASMedia, I guess.

z68 extreme3 gen3 for 7.5k vs z77 extreme4 for 9.5k which would be better for an i5 2500k?
