This review is from: ASRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Fatal1ty 990FX Killer AM3+/AM3 AMD 990FX + AMD SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard
Pros:
countless options, killer NIC Ethernet and digital optical audio port, countless usb and 3.0 ports, 2x pci-e x16 slots as advertised, ufei bios. overclocking is easy.
Cons:
sometimes wont boot and u have to kill switch the psu and boot up, then it says failed boot at prompt but counts down longer as detected failed boot and starts up normally. I had this with a 2 card setup a 7870 and a r9 270x and honestly saw no difference from my ta970 biostar pci-e 16x/4x slots, 970 to a 990fx chipset was nothing gained only for overclocking. but still a nice board. saw no performance gains over an $80 mobo other than oc compatibility, and longevity in life possibly.
