Recall may not be the correct term. But I own a Asrock P67 extreme 6 and I missed the deadline to have it replaced. It is working fine with the exception that I cannot update the BIOS. I believe this is due to the recall. 3 questions:

1. Any suggestions to replace motherboard using current hardware listed below, that would give me gaming performance and overclockability? Specific models?

2. Any suggestions to work around and update BIOS so I can take advantage of the newer UEFI program?

3. What is the down side to owning this non updated (recalled) motherboard?

Asrock P67 Extreme 6
i5 2500K 3.3 g stock 4.8 g
16g gskill 1066
Nvidia 780 ti

Thank you. Sorry for my noob ness

I'm looking for a new motherboard myself atm, think im gana go with a ASUS Maximus V Formula.

Buy a new bios chip pre-programed (£6-15)

There's something wrong with it.... lol
