Pros: great psu especially for the price does run a little hot at first but does cool itself down fairly quickly. can actually be used as either a 20+4 psu or a 24 its mainboard connection plug has the last four pins set up so that you can choose to use them if you need to but if not it can easily be pushed to the side

Cons: none that i really noticed other than the size of the grate covering the fan... just big enough to let a small screw in it and mess it up

Overall Review: did fail but definately was not due to a manufacturer defect was working on the computer it was in and lost a screw... guess where it ended up.... wish the grate was just a little tighter for the fan

Pros: worked... for a day ran a hp pavillion elite with 8gigs of ram and a nvidia gt240 for maybe 24 hours ordered on 08/28/2009 got it about a week later

Cons: worked for a day then it failed catastrophically rma'd it to newegg they sent it back saying that i had to send it to the manufacturer... so i did... their support people seemed quite nice when i talked to them... shipped the psu off 09/5/2009... still havent heard or seen anything about it ever since.... all i can say is that im quite dissapointed with xclio..

Overall Review: i want either a replacement or my money back... i dont know what to do anymore the warranty is long gone i have no psu and im short $60+whatever the "extended warranty" cost me

Pros: psu definitely does its job and considering it came heavily damaged but still functions is just a sign of how well corsair builds their psu's

Cons: box got hit so hard before it was packaged\shipped (shipping box=perfect) that the psu inside warped about an 8th inch on the top. dissappointing enough to score a perfectly functioning product much lower that it truly deserves

Overall Review: has lasted 3+years without a hiccup. rating updated to fit

Pros: i have bought 3 of these in the past because to put it nicely they do what they are supposed to. i happened to come back across these when snooping for something to finish off a build. one of those heat-sinks are actually with me today still chugging away. first review done 12/15/2011

Cons: out of 3 of these one had an occasional fan noise when started up. minor detail since it wasnt one of the original fans but rather a cheap one just to be on the other side as to run a push pull config. took the oddball fan and its still going strong

Overall Review: as for cpu temps im idling around 31*c or 82*f while writing this review (amd phenom 2 960t unlocked to 6core) after about 30 minutes of running 6 copies of cpu burn in its running at a whopping 40*c or 103*f room temp is 68*f you can convert the room temp if you feel it necesary, long story short TLDR: cheap, reliable, works well.

Pros: reliability, quality and awesomeness all seem to come to mind. overclocks a 960t zosma cpu without a problem (from 3ghz stock to 4.2ghz on air) came with ramdisk support which is always nice for video editing without having long quicksave times. always nice to be able to have my 8 core server sitting next to this board tied together thru the secondary lan so i can store all of my media on the server and use that for heavy rendering then switch to this board/system to keep working. dual lan is my savior. gigabit ethernet controller works very well for what i use it for

Cons: dual lan teaming function is sketchy at best. but dont care i typically only have about 8-15ms ping anyways. have to buy a second to replace my aging 8core server...

Overall Review: been about a year since i originally purchased this mobo and at the same time i acquired a asus crosshair v for a buddy of mine both running amd 960t cpus 16gb of geil 1600mhz ram seagate 1.5tb hdd's an amd radeon 6870 and a corsair tx850m psu. to this day the asrock beats the asus hands down in reliability and performance im on my second install of windows 7 while my friend has to reinstall almost monthly due to driver and random failures caused by the crosshair. in 3dmark05 the asrock somehow scores about 1500 points higher than its sibling system (both running amd's fusion utility to help compensate for different users)... never was a fan of either brand personally i prefered gigabyte at the time of purchase but i wanted to try something new. still glad i tried asrock.

Pros: used this a while back to flash my am3+ mobo for my bulldozer last december but was impressed by this chip and now its about to go into an "old school" gaming build. overclocks well and takes some serious abuse from someone with a bit too much free time/money on their hands

Cons: not free and wont break the 10ghz barrier lol... yeah no cons at all

Overall Review: tacos rule and so does this cpu
