Pros: this is a solid board. it has more fetures then i thought. i havnt had an issue with this board once since ive had it. all i can say is ive been an AMD fan so this board sticks up to what its built for

Cons: what?!! cons?!! you got to be kidding... ok just one. i love it... wait not a con

Overall Review: if you plan on doing some overclocking fast and soon keep i mind tat not all games support OC fetures yet and may lagg on you from this feture.

Pros: lots of space...

Cons: something about these drives just not lasting very long.

Overall Review: I've gotten two of these now for being a game dev and needing a lot of storage. but just these drives in general just don't last as long. I've gotten two of these within a year of each other and both have filed before the end of the year. second one didn't even last a day before having write errors and failing to install a game. i really cannot say if it is an issue with what i do or not, but my second one is past warrantee period since i had it laying around as a spare drive that i would have added to my rig if i needed it. brand new and it failed

Pros: powerfull enough to run everything at max settings with 60+ FPS (like others mentioned) temps hit 70 steady and never went over. held in OC mode at 75 pushing 80 FPS in most games. no need to say more

Cons: what is a con?

Overall Review: this thing will draw 500 watts under full load in OC mode just to warn you. and the weight is 4 pounds so you may want to get it mounted and bolted down before doing anything else with it. other then that this thing can run very well in a nicely vented case with more air flow then most cases give. (90mm case fans not recomended)

Pros: ive bought ASRock boards in the past and have been surprised by there ability and power. this was a good addition to my build

Cons: wait..what...cons?... well, i guess i do have a small issue. the DIMM slots should be moved a little out more to fit some big coolers like the xigmatech gaia. im literraly bending my DIMM slot to fit it on the CPU

Overall Review: im not sure if ASR knows this or if they planned it this way, but the last two boards i had, i noticed a small, verry interesting feture on the northbridge. the heatsink has a centripetal airflow. i thought this was cool considering the fact that it has a shell over it

Pros: hadn't had any problems since i wrote this back in spetember

Cons: none

Overall Review: im running a teamspeak server on my computer so as you can imagine my computer never sleeps. i shut it down to do some cleaning so far and that was it. this power supply hasn't quite or failed in the 7 months its been running.

Pros: i've been using this in all my builds and never had an issue. idle temps with an A10 are at 27-31c.

Cons: spatula does not work for such a high grade compound. its too weak. now i see why they say not to use it

Overall Review: after reading a few reviews on here i nearly lost my jaw. soaking thermal compound in water reduces its structure makeing it less able to conduct heat, thermal compound is made to be a thick past because of the elements in it. liquefying it separates the elements making it more like soup (the heavier particles float). the best method that works with such things is to apply a small pea size and apply your heatsink to the cpu/gpu.
