AsRock & Biostar Motherboard Sellers in India

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

Here is the AsRock Z68 Extreme Gen 3Board Details which is available in Mumbai by Mediaman

Mediaman Group

Very Sad that I already purchased Asus P8Z68V-Pro.

Yes Look at This.

Mediaman Group

And they have lots of branches.........find a branch near you.

nice and mediaman has a branch in Kolkata

AFAIK ASRock now has Digicare has national support provider which means it should be a standard 3 year warranty (2 years on lower end motherboards). I haven't confirmed with Mediaman on the warranty, but I will try to get information when I have a free day.

^^ that's great and will wait for the news from you.

BTW, still asrock is showing on their website that Jupiter International Limited is their Authorized distributor here and the website has only one Asrock Z68 mobo listed ie Z68 Pro3 along with two H61 mobos

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

Contacted Frontech today, they said that ASRock boards have warranty from Digicare and it's for 2 years. They said some boards have 3 year warranty but they could not tell me which boards have it.

EDIT: Also contacted Mediaman but prices are a bit high, 8650/- for Pro3 Gen3, 9750 for Extreme3 Gen3 and 1000 off for non Gen3 versions. They confirmed 3-year warranty from Digicare for these boards.

Advice: Get it from Jupiter/Frontech. I think it's 3-years regardless of who you purchase from since warranty is dictated by Digicare and not by distributors.

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

Further edit: Mediaman told me that the Fatality boards will be incoming soon but couldn't tell me a price right now. Will be around 12-13K for the AMD 990FX Fatal1ty motherboard.

After confirming prices, I think the Extreme3 from Jupiter is a good deal. The Pro3 should cost roughly the same as Biostar TZ68K+ (buying from Jupiter/Frontech). Putting a direct comparison, you can see the following things:

1) TZ68K+ has 3 USB headers, Z68 Pro3 has 2.
2) TZ68K+ has 4 USB ports in rear I/O, Z68 Pro3 has 6 (both have 2 USB 3.0 ports)
3) No Printer header on Z68 Pro3
4) TZ68K+ only has 5.1 analog audio out, whereas Z68 Pro3 also has Microphone and Line In jacks
5) Z68 Pro3 has 4+2 power phases, TZ68K+ has 8 power phases.
6) Z68 Pro3 has bugs with its lan (see link below)
7) Z68 Pro3 cannot do Crossfire since it has only 1 PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and the rest are x1, Biostar TZ68K+ can do x16+x4 crossfire.

*hardocp.com/article/2011/12/07/asrock_z68_pro3_lga_1155_motherboard_review/3

(Maybe fixed in Gen3 version)

Keeping all this in mind, I would not recommend users go for the Pro3. However, the Extreme3 is a decent deal that should come for about 8100/- + taxes.

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

^^ thanks for the all the info on Asrock mobos warranty.

BTW, Biostar TZ68K+ is now selling at 6.8k and with 3 yrs. of confirmed warranty it's a great VFM z68 mobo compared to any other brands

6.8K? Where?

I guess it serves me right for jumping the gun and getting the TZ68A+ before this model was launched hehe

Yeah, Biostar is great VFM. I had simply not expected to find this level of quality and stability on a board priced so low.

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

even the Extreme3 Gen3 price is 7.6k+ only

BTW, the biostar TZ68+ is actually 6.7k+ - see the last two posts of this page

IMO, u should definitely go for Z77 coz the price difference between Z68 extreme 3 and Z77 extreme 4 is just 500 bucks an u r getting an updated version.

Though both chipset are compatible with Sandy Bridge & Ivy Bridge. U'll get PCI 3.0 and USB 3 with Z77 mobos and can use higher frequency RAM.

Some other brands as ASUS / GIGABYTE also offer Wi Fi with their Z77 Mobo.

You can go trough the following reviews for better opinion :

Send them a mail on SALES [sales@mediaman.co.in]. This is the e-mail mentioned on their website. I got a reply from this mail id.

Or you may also call them on their number 022-4344 1144 to discuss the payment terms.

I've not yet spoken to them regarding payment / shipping terms. I wanted to know the prices.

Once i speak, i'll let u know the details.

re: AsRock & Biostar Sellers in India

Note: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 is cheaper when bought from Jupiter (~8.1K all inclusive). Jupiter does not have any stock of Z77 series yet.

Ya, the price is for Asrock Z77 Extreme 4. Moreover, whatever initial reviews are there on internet, they all are positive for Z77 Extreme 4.

Asrock is always known for its quality of products vis-a-vis price offered. You get a suitably priced feature rich mainboard.
