Get the power you crave with ASRock's A790GX ATX motherboard. Ready to support the latest AMD AM2 and AM2+ socket multi-core Phenom processors up to 140W, it features onboard AMD 790GX and SB750 chipsets and utilizes Hyper-Transport 3.0 technology to increase data flow. Its ASRock DuraCap feature more than doubles the life expectancy of the board and you won't have to worry about obsolescence as it's AM3 CPU-ready. Pack in the power with 16GB of Dual Channel DDR2 1066 memory.
The integrated AMD Radeon HD3200 graphics supports DirectX 10 and Pixel Shader 4.0 and the graphic capabilities can be expanded with two PCI Express 2.0 x16 cards using ATI CrossFire or Hybrid CrossFireX with full support for Blu-Ray playback and 1080p DVI and HDMI output. The Realtek ALC890 audio chipset delivers 8 channels of HD audio through six audio ports.
Connect up to six SATA devices at 3Gb/s for high-speed data transfers as well as the option for multiple RAID configurations. The external SATA connection allows the same throughput for external devices. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet LAN allows bottleneck-free connections to other network devices at broadband speeds and a half-dozen USB 2.0 ports along with a pair of FireWire connections allow for nearly unlimited possibilities in connecting peripheral devices.
Pros: Top overclocking board , well made and looks to be rock solid stable. Runs the phenom II 940 BE at 3.78 Ghz with 2.45 Ghz North bridge stable as can be. Chip set runs very cool and very efficient. Not one problem setting it up and posted flawless right off the bat.
Cons: DID not come with phenom II bios pre installed. It will require a bios flash at start up for any phenom II use. It came with bios 1.2 pre installed and bios 1.3 and 1.4 are for phenom II support.
Other Thoughts: For the price this board is amazing, I can clock the phenom II 940 BE near 4 Ghz mark. To stay inside AMD,s recommended voltage specs it is highly recommended you stay inside the 3.7 to 3.8 Ghz mark and keep vcore under 1.5 volt range. The North bridge will clock to 2.8 Ghz but it is recommended you not pass the 2.4 Ghz 1.285 volt range for long term.

Pros: Over clocks my 9950BE to 3.1 easily with stock cooler. Vista user experience index 4.5 with onboard video. Thats the best I've seen onboard video rate.
Cons: I had to download and install a bios update from ASrock home page to get my G.Skill DDR2-1066 to run at 1066 speed. Once I figured that out it was smooth sailing.
Other Thoughts: If you plan on using the eSATA port, make sure you install your operating system with raid/AHCI drivers. The ASRock bios update utility is available for DOS, and for Vista.

Pros: ok this is my second one that i have worked with and let me tell u i really like these boards.790gx chipset and am3 ready.the last one i ordered wasnt am3 ready but that was last year i flashed the bios on that one..this one came am3 ready.temps are great over clocking is easy.the amd oc tool is a great help without having to reboot ur system every time u want to lower ur clock speed after gaming.just up the multiplier a few bumps and test as u go.no need to tocuh the voltages unless u want to up it higher but id be careful if u dont know what ur doing with that.just stick with upping the multiplier.the temp gage with the oc application works well i compared it to speedfan and they nearly match if not match all the time.installation was easy as always.would recommend to anyone be it beginner builder or advanced builder.ive used all boards from msi,asus,gigabyte,asrock,biostar,to ecs and this one is def one of my favs so far.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: excuse the runons and poor syntax,its a tech review.

Pros: HDMI port, not that I use it anyways. Automatically shuts off in bios if you have it set to run on a PCI-E card so you can save that extra ram space. OC too far? If you press esc at boot up it and hold it, it will return the bios to default state so you don't have open your case, move your massive 10lb video cards out of the way, take a plier and move that jumper pin to reset and back. I was able to OC my 2.7 phenom II X3 to 3.5 ghz with a V8 cooler master. Also supports unlocking that 4th core, but it becomes very unstable hence don't unlock it unless its made to be a quad core. I've tried and ran windows 2000 all the way to 7 Ultimate and it runs like a champ. You don't even have to install drivers from CD for windows 7. Extremely well built board, made from ASUS 2nd division. Not some cheap board like PC-Chips.
Cons: Bios does not recognize 1066 ram you have to manually set it yourself in the bios. If you have multiple HDD like me, 8 to be exact it takes a while during boot up to search and find the master HDD which I have already set it up in bios but for some reason it keeps scanning them.
Other Thoughts: Its too bad that this board can only support up to 1066 DDR2 ram and nothing beyond that otherwise this board would have rocked if it supported 1600 DDR3.
