Pros: I've had a 290 Tri-X for almost a year now and it's run everything I've thrown at it without hardly breaking sweat. I've rarely ever seen any of the games I play dip under 20FPS on the most demanding scenes, and I'll note that I run Eyefinity with three 21.5 inch monitors @ 5760x1080. Most every game, new or slightly older runs at this resolution without a problem. Cons aside, I don't believe you'll regret getting this card unless your significant other gets jealous about awesome hardware!

Cons: My only con is that the heatsink and fanshroud over shoot the graphics board itself by almost an inch, so it takes up a lot of space. It's also hard to find a compatible waterblock to replace this size queen of a card.

Pros: So right out of the box and into the case plugged in and fired up, this board works perfectly with a FX 9590. Handles fan management for the Liquid cooling system that came with the 9590 decent enough with some tweaking in the bios.

The AMD RADEON 1866 memory I got along with my order works flawlessy with this board as well thanks to the AMD profile support.

See Cons for issues!

Cons: One of the USB 3.0 Connections was broke and several pins were bent, only noticed this as I was moving some power supply cables around when switching PSU's. I don't use the case 3.0 plugs because the last asrock board I had froze up anytime I tried to use them. So this isn't a loss but a damaged product out of the box is.. annoying considering the price of this board.

Like my last ASRock board there is a very annoying screeching/buzzing noise coming off the board somewhere when I move my mouse around, or even while the computer is idle. I thought it might have been a power supply issue, and it turns out it wasn't, as I changed out a 850w Gold Plus certified PSU for a more powerful 1000W Gold Plus PSU, to no effect. It's intolerable without headphones on, and it gets twice as loud if I turn power management in windows to Performance. Very annoyed by this since upgrading my other components my computer got significantly quieter, except not thanks to the motherboard.

I went with Asrock because I liked the 890FX I had prior to this as it performed well. I will be RMAing this and switching to ASUS or Gigabyte. Hopefully they have quieter boards!
