Pros: installed in a b**star n750a MB with DDR2-800 memory, was instantly detected and booted on first try. replaced a X2 4400. ran all the benches and WOW, a noticeable and big difference. if your wallet wont allow for a quad just get this, MUCH faster then the 6400 X2.

Cons: it diddnt come with a case badge, years ago all cpu's came with a big shiney plastic badge, now we get a glosy sticker....

Overall Review: clocked it to 3.16 out of the box, 232 X 13.5 runs awsome. using a big ole air cooler, 100% stable worth every penny!

Pros: looks nice.

Cons: i was happy with it for the first 2 weeks, now all the keys feel like they are lubed with sand. VERY sticky feeling and headed for the trash.

Overall Review: Works great, have it in a ASRock taichi X570 razor. Booted up after inserting 2 sticks and setting the xmp and then putting in other 2 sticks. Great benchmark scores.

Pros: straight forward setup. Ryzen 5600X ready out of the box, no bios update needed.everything just worked.

Cons: none as of yet.

Overall Review: this was my first all AMD build in over 15 years, and i do not regret it at all.

Pros: CRAZY fast, easy install.the samsung migration software worked flawlessly !

Cons: none

Overall Review: i would rec. this for anybody for C drive , its much faster than the 970 evo plus 250 gig it replaced.

Pros: sound is great plenty of usb ports the rgb software for the disco lights works just fine. all the software that came with the board has worked well so far, no problems as of yet. it is fairly easy to overclock. latest bios covers the Ryzen 3000 line.

Cons: if i had to find 1 quam about this motherboard i couldnt , but ASrock does have fairly feeble support, the ASrock community though has been very helpfull, hit the asrock forums for real help if you need it. I would buy another one without doubt. while it does date me a bit, i really wish motherboard makers would start including the old school bubble badges again, they were very classy

Overall Review: i have been using this motherboard since July of 2018, and it has yet to let me down. the sound works great, no pops as a few others have mentioned. Ram has worked great since boot#1, i have 16gigs of gskill flare memory in it running at 3200. running about 18 hours a day every day for a year, and all is well. as a side note, i have been using a non X 2600 for a year, and just updated the bios to 3.40 and installed a Ryzen 3600 and am having no problems with it so far.
