This review is from: ASRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Fatal1ty 990FX Killer AM3+/AM3 AMD 990FX + AMD SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard
Pros:
-Great looking board, fits my red/black color theme
-It is sturdy, not as flimsy as other low end boards
-You can SLI/CrossfireX at dual x16
-It is still a bit early, but seems to be made of quality parts
-Killer LAN works well, not as great as I hoped but does the job, lets you do more to modify what programs use your bandwidth
-Has USB 3.0 onboard header
-F Stream Tuning let's you OC from your desktop
Cons:
-Sometimes it takes a few tries to get my PC to boot up, still tweaking the bios but no luck as of today
-Bios is very picky with RAM, check compatibility and hope the one you pick actually sets to correct speed. If not you will just have to fit it as close as you can. My 1600Mhz is set to 1900Mhz because the closest was that or 1599Mhz. A real pain, even though my RAM was in the compatible list.
-Keep away from the Instant Boot program, it does not work well, if you do not install it right it will give your PC the death loop..
Overall Review:
All in all it is a great motherboard. For all the extras you get and just the look alone, it is impossible to beat at this price. All electronic products with come with a chance of failure, that is why they have the RMA process. Just do your homework and everything should go smooth. I would buy again.
