This review is from: MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros:
I've had this motherboard as my main PC for about 5 years now, running a Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition. Only problem I had was when first setting it up and found out it needs a good 500+ Watt power supply and ever since then, it's been solid as a rock. Currently dual booting Windows 10 and Slackware 14.1 and have two AMD 6950's in CrossfireX and still handles all I throw at it.
Cons:
You can't get by with using a wimpy power supply with this motherboard.
Overall Review:
I just need to get a Phenom II X6 1090T or greater now.
