Pros: Integrated 802.11ac. The atenna is magnetic. The board seems fairly well laid out, but honestly, many are standard these days.

Cons: I can't find much wrong here. My only gripe is that the drivers for the Intel 802.11ac chip needed to be updated for optimal performance.

Overall Review: Make sure to do a few things when building a new system with this board. 1) Update the wireless drivers. Go to intel's website and download them directly. 2) Turn off some sleep/power-down features that are on by default through Win7. This includes the USB port power down and the wifi power down. Both will not wake up quickly and I don't think this has anything to do with the board. It sure did give me some grief until I figured it out.

Pros: No pro. It arrived DOA and I tried 3 different drives. I switched to a Sabrent product and it worked perfectly fine on usb 2.0.

Cons: If you want to gamble whether you get a functional unit or not, be my guest. Mine was DOA and it was likely due to the power supply provided (is my guess). You'll be forced to pay the return shipping.

Pros: Hardware wise, this board is packed full of goodies... SATA (raid), eSATA (raid), SLI support, HD Audio, clear cmos switch, intermediate hdd led/pwr sw/rst sw connectors.

Cons: Hardware is nothing without drivers. I constantly had blue screens for various reasons. I was running a SATA raid setup and could not keep the machine on for more than 6 hours. I think there is an issue with the IOAPIC BIOS option, but after disabling the setting, it continues to show up enabled after every reboot. I swapped out the CMOS battery and still had problems. I would definitely stay away from this board if you are running your system in a raid configuration, and probably if you are even running windows XP.

Overall Review: It is sad that this board is associated with MSI. I don't think the hardware is necessarily faulty. I think the drivers from maybe both MSI and nVidia are just subpar. As others have said, I'm probably going to order a P45.

Pros: I was worried that the 2.1-2.3V required would be too much for my default voltage settings on my Gigabyte DS3. However, the board booted fine (F4 bios) and things have worked flawlessly since.

Cons: None.

Pros: This board booted up perfectly without any problems. It seemed absolutely stable and the driver installation was flawless. It has SATA and two IDE connectors, which is nice since most new motherboards have just one IDE connector. The labeling of the pwr, rst, hd led, speaker connections were also well done.

Cons: It would be nice if engineers would have allowed some sort of cooling profile for the auto-controlled fan speed. Though, the auto-temp controlled fan works pretty well, but required a BIOS update for some reason. I couldn't change any settings for the RAM timing.

Overall Review: I bought a MSI board before this, and it wouldn't post. This board has gotten great reviews, and I had a good experience installing and booting it up.

Comments: I had three Axxs motherboards (A7V333, A7V600, A7N8X-E) previous to the ASRock K7VT4A Pro. All three died for a number of reasons. I was tired of shelling out big bucks for subpar products. I installed this board, and it booted perfectly. The bios was relatively easy to navigate and I thought it provided enough features/customization. The board is nice because it has 6 USB 2.0 ready w/ more connectors on board. It is also skinny board and won't take up a ton of area. The only thing I might warn people of is that the board comes defaulted to 200 MHz FSB. So, you must switch the jumpers on the board if you have a 333 FSB Athlon (ie 3000+). Let's be honest, Socket A is ancient, and there is no reason to spend a lot of money on old "top-of-the-line" boards. This ASRock has really surprised me, and I'd buy an ASRock before Axxs any day of the week.
