Pros: Full Feature Motherboard

Cons: I am on my 2nd Motherboard. I encountered the same issue with the bios. After configuring the bios, save and exit. On reboot, nothing. Reset bios with jumpers, freezes on "entering setup" screen. I am CompTia certified and went through all the troubleshooting step which include removing all peripherals.

Overall Review: Setup: MSI A88XM Gamming Motherboard AMD 7870 GSkill 2133 Aries XFX R7 360 PNY SSD I very seldom write reviews. It seems as performance increases, so do issues with components. I have been a MSI fan for a long time. This may change that view. If you search the internet, there are a few people who have had the same issue. I guess if you do a lot of configuration in the bios, this issue may eventually occur.

Pros: 1. One of the few 775 motherboards available. 2. Use of DDR 3 Memory 3. Onboard video

Cons: 1. Motherboard Failure to properly identify CPU. 2. ASRock memory compatibility list for compatible 2x4 memory modules. 3. Motherboard is difficult to set up if you do not have some technical background.

Overall Review: 1. I have an old intel E4300 duo core cpu. The motherboard improperly detects it as a E6320. Being detected as such limits OCing. I had this cpu OC'd to 3.01 on my previous board. 2. Initially the MB did not boot with DDR3 modules I had purchased for this motherboard. As you may have read in some of the previous reviews, some purchasers said the MB was DOA, did not boot, etc. This MB is very particular as to the DDR 3 modules being used. If you plan to go this route, plan to purchase DDR 3 modules that use 1.5 volts. I had purchased 1.65 V modules initially when the board failed to boot. The ASRock site have little to no DDR3 2x4 modules listed as compatible. 3. BIOS settings are very limited. a. Voltage settings are nil to none b. CPU FSB is linked to memory c. BIOS must be reset when changing from DDR2 to DDR3 (don't forget the manual pin setting). Hope this is helpful for those looking for a replacement 775 MB.
