ASRock 880GM-LE FX AM3+ AMD 880G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It booted into a fresh copy of windows, seems to remain stable.

Cons: Sheeeesh..So my buddy asked me top build him a small computer for his 2gb 6950. So I got a micro atx case and this board considering it had positive reviews..well let's just say this board has been nothing but a pain and headache from day one!

This board does NOT support PCI E 2.0 like it is stated in the deatails. It only runs at 1.1 which is terrible and you can see the choke.
I have a 6300 with a CM tx3 paired clocked at 4.2 and this thing will bounce the multiplier randomly all over the place. Yes Turbo core is off and so is cool n quiet. The board just isn't too stable with day to day overclocks.
Onboard Lan was dead within 2 days, windows wouldn't even recognize it in device options sooo yeahh.

Overall I'm a little really sad that MATX boards for AMD are in shambles right now without the newer chipsets available at all. I'm staring at you 970 990fx!

Other Thoughts: I me

Pros: Price. Features. Quality. Color.

Cons: No HDMI, USB3 or SATA III. 8 GB max RAM. Small board.

Other Thoughts: It worked without fail. Gotta love that. Overclocked a Phenom 965 to 3.7 Ghz easily. Really glad to find a board with on-board video. The 4250 is fine for 1080 HD playback.

I'll be getting more of these boards later on. Great price on these things.

Paired with the system below.

CPU: Phenom II X4 965
Mobo: AsRock 880GM-LE FX
RAM: Gskill RipJaws 4GB (2x2GB)
GPU: Onboard HD 4250
PSU: Corsair CX430M
Case: Corsair 500R

Pros: -Very Small
-Great I/O options
-Supports 125w TDP CPU's
-Good BIOS
-Lots of SATA, but also IDE

Cons: -No USB 3.0

Other Thoughts: I replaced an ASUS M5A78L-M LX with this, and i may be dreaming, but the whole machine seems much snappier, windows was a little laggy with the ASUS and i couldn't get some of the I/O options to work.

Pros: Very Affordable
Durable

Cons: Only 8gb supported Ram. no USB 3.0

Pros: Cheap

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: The Northbridge runs a little hot, even after installing more fans

Pros: Not bad, this was my first build and I love the motherboard. But now That I have some tech knowledge, I would have shot for one with more ram upgrading ability's.
But for the price this board is great and has plenty of overclocking ability.

Cons: No hdmi(I knew this when getting it)
only 8gb Ram(Knew this as well).

That's it so far!

Pros: This Motherboard is an excellent bargain. Everything works well on it, and it unlocks cores on AMD processors as well. In the Bios, it only took two quick steps to unlock and overclock an AMD phenom II X2 550 to a four core Deneb B50 running stably at 3547 frequency. It runs smooth as silk and the onboard LAN races through the Net and surfs like crazy.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Thanks, NewEgg and ASRock. I have been building AMD - ASRock rigs for years that I bought from NewEgg, and they all have performed well.

Pros: Board ROCKs….period. I would buy it over and over. Everything went smooth, and simply labeled-plus owner’s manual actually helped!

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: Great product, very impressed

Pros: Give it 3 eggs ONLY because the board I bougth before this one was great. Had everything I wanted at a good price.

Cons: This board I received was ok for the first instal of windows and windows updated too. Then I turned it on the next morning.... No hard drive.. so I put in another hard drive. It did the same thing, so I put in another hard drive only to discover the probem got worse. So I went into the bios to double check the settings, which were right. Then it would see the hard drives in the bios then it just dissppears in the bios. So I changed thet new sata cables to another set, same problem. I went to the local store and bought a Biostar A780L3B. Used the same cpu, memory, hard drives, sata cords, video card, power supply and dvd drive. Worked great, no problems. hmm

Other Thoughts: Other customers I see have had the same similar problems with sata ports dropping. It's a gamble with this board it seems. I have bought MANY boards over the years with no problems from them, guess it was going to happen one day. I would have to say NEWEGG rocks!!! Customer service has ALWAYS been great!!! Its been past the 30 day to return it, dont really want to pay shipping for warranty on cheap boards, who knows if ill have to send it back again. By then I should just buy a new one. To the recylce center it goes. Considering a different manufacter of board. I have bought AsRock boards for years with no problems at all. But reviews are coming up a bit short for them lately. Time to switch.? It's always on option.
