Pros: This my second little asrock and I have no problem till now I use it with amd Athlon 860k and with a pny gtx 970 4g ddr5 256 bit and it works well with no problems

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good price
USB 3.0
4 Sata ports
Bios easy to update
Great board with ok O/C function

Cons: If you have a Big video card it will block the PCI slot
Fan headers only support 4 pin control,3pin can't control (no biggy)

Other Thoughts: I have bought 3 of these motherboards for customer builds.They work great,just make sure you update the bios.Make sure you research before buying.(Asrock webpage).Great budget board ASROCK!!!

Pros: - Not only did it upgrade its firmware without an OS installed it also created usb media for the LAN drivers to make the OS install a breeze.
- Paired this with an AMD 860k, 8Gbs of RAM, and a GTX 760...it picked up everything the first time no fuss, no muss, no hassle.

Cons: - It seemed odd to me that it didn't have a true front panel USB 3.0 header since it already has a 3.0 controller and 2 rear USB 3.0 ports, but I still feel like I got more than I paid for.

Other Thoughts: I've used ASUS, MSI, Supermicro, and Gigabyte motherboards before, but this was my first ASRock build. I will be looking to them in the future. With all the features of this budget board I am very interested to see what their highend motherboards have to offer.

Pros: Works perfectly out of the box with my Athlon 860k 3.7ghz CPU (Kaveri)
PCI 3.0 GFX card compatible and plenty of USB connectors
Bios settings are descriptive and easy to work with. Sound effects in bios are stylish without being overkill.
Drivers for system, Ethernet and Sound installed cleanly and easily.
Good sound quality, no static,humming or buzzing or popping during loads like my last FM2+ board.
Powers up and returns from sleep and power savings modes correctly.

Cons: No complaints really. Max 32 gig ram capacity might bother some?
Honestly though, the board ram capacity is practical without being overkill.
No HDMI connector might annoy those using an APU or building a media box.
Does have DVI out connectors, which is practical for PC and media uses.

Other Thoughts: First time buying an ASRock board and I'm very impressed.
The board is running very stable with a PCI 3.0 gfx card and Athlon x4 860k CPU at default speed.
Bios navigation is really nice and there are options for setting CPU voltage manually.
I don't overclock but having display info and options for setting voltage is nice.

Pros: price - usb 3.0

Cons: zero

Other Thoughts: for the user with "issues"

processor chooses memory clock speed... mismatch these along with the board and you will have issues.
nothing to do with the board, and everything to do with your parts and research.

Rule of thumb, don't exceed 1600 on an FM2 if you aren't going to look at the details.

Pros: - It was Cheap
- everything I needed for a low-profile build
- Onboard VGA/DVI pairs good with an AMD APU.

Cons: - Failed DIMM slot after 3 months (closest to CPU)

Other Thoughts: I am trying to get Asrock to replace it at the moment.

Pros: small, a little to small but still good. has everything I need.

Cons: vga on the board was dead but I connected it to graphics card and all is well.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued ASRock Customer,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Please check if using CPU has integrated video.
If using Athlon series CPU, its required discrete video card due to that CPU has not built-in integrate video.

Pros: Customer service will politely reply and the value of that response is noted.

Cons: In the Other section I posted my original review.

The person signed as: ASRock Support did not address the one issue that I needed to be addressed (Flexible USB 2.0 header for front panel is a no go). He did, however, advise me to contact his department again. To compensate ASRock for that lack of customer support I have revised my rating from 2 stars to 1 star.

Other Thoughts: Pros:

Mostly works.
Cons:

Flexible USB 2.0 header for front panel is a no go. Poor selection of drivers on Asrock website. No individual drivers for USB , just AMD all in one. No bios update file on website, update must be performed online from within bios.
Other Thoughts:

Install LAN driver from disk. Update bios from within uefi interface. Then install other drivers. They will reinstall from Microsoft when you update bios unless you update bios before you install the drivers.
ASRock Response:Dear Raymond,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
The USB controller is built-in with AMD chipset. So the driver for USB is also provided by AMD as well.

For the BIOS update, it can be done either in the BIOS or download from link below.

Pros: Price is good. Allows use of both FM2 and FM2+ processors.

Cons: Bought two of these boards for customer upgrades and both had memory issues. First one had 2x G.skill 4gb 1600 and glitched and locked up 3 or 4 time a day. Through trial and error finally put 2x 8gb Corsair Vengeance 1866 and the instability went away (ran G.skill memory in another system and tested and ran fine). Second system had 2x 2gb Crucial 1600 after 2 weeks it just stopped booting. Would boot with one stick in either slot but not both at the same time. Put one stick of the above 4gb G.skill in the system and it has been running about two months now without problem. I tell you all of this because this cost me 2 or 3 trips out to each customers house and replacing other components to figure this out. It appears this board is finicky about running in a dual memory configuration. FYI bought both sets of memory as a two stick matched set.

Other Thoughts: The motherboard is tiny and that can be good or bad depending on your intended use.

Pros: I got this motherboard to build a very basic home PC. I wasn't expecting anything fancy and this fulfilled my needs just fine. The BIOS/EFI is easy and to-the-point, and this supports all the features I really need it to.

Cons: * EFI runs a little slow, as though the CPU is maxed out. I would rather they drop the special effects in order for it to be more responsive.
* Can't control fan speeds of non-PWM fans
* USB 3.0 header is fake. Though I didn't need this and it is clearly advertised that it is strictly USB 2.0, I don't understand why ASRock couldn't just make it an actual USB 3.0 header. How expensive could it be, considering the board already has 2x 3.0 ports?
* Not sure why the 4th expansion slot was dropped, but I don't need it anyway.
* HDMI or DP would've been nice. Again, shouldn't really be that expensive to add.

Other Thoughts: The cons coincidentally didn't really affect me personally and therefore didn't dock an egg because of it, but I deem them as problems that should be easily addressed and could be annoying or misleading to others.
