This review is from: ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros:
The bios is cool tons of options.... tons of connections if only the board worked... asrock shouldve recalled all these boards ... look into another brand
Cons:
The worst board i have ever owned period! This board is bipolar and needs help and im not alone i wish i would have done my research on this board a good amount of people have had the same issue no post screen does not restart properly and freezes up whenever i do actually manage to get to the desktop and no its not any of my parts i have checked every single part. I wanted to get this board to upgrade from my ECS m3 micro atx that had a busted ram slot... had to go back to this old board which works flawlessly aside from the ram slot i wont be buying asrock again i tried to get help from the site and everything about the board sends me to a bad gateway page..tried everything including updating bios still no change not even worth the RMA i dont want another piece of junk
