USB 3.0 native
AM3+ support
Fixed AHCI on AMD's new 900 series SB
Plays well with a junk PSU

Stigma that ASRock is a lower-end rebrand of ASUS boards.
# of Power Phases
Using it to power a 720 BE. Cores unlocked just the same as my old board, a GA-MA790x-UD4P. Seems to be a bit more stable, but could just be psycological. ACHI is pretty nice, now that I can actually use it. Plays well with a somewhat underpowered PSU, as it allows for voltage monitoring/clock reduction. I'd rather have my CPU dip in voltage and clock ~500 MHz (down from the 3.5GHz OC), than freeze up entirely due to a shoddy PSU. Nice innovation
I'm turning 75 this year and I hope this is my last build, apart from maybe throwing in an AM3+ CPU in the future. AMD has a nice system going to support so many chips on one board. I tried my old 6400+ BE in it and that worked too! Maybe throw in a 8150 FX or similar after prices drop, but I'd like to see if Piledriver will have a revision that will fit in this socket too!
This is a second review to this board as I have had quite some time to use the functions. I paired this with an FX-8120 - 125w. At stock settings, I have no problems whatsoever with this board. Its stable, efficient for the most part, and has excellent features... unless your overclocking....
The problem I have run into with this board.. VDROOP at excessive levels. I have my CPU at 1.5v in bios, and realistic voltages are at 1.416v (under load) Which is still unstable for the overclock at 4.4ghz.
Temps are at 39c, and the VRMS are blazing hot. I have put fans on the VRMS to help control the heat issue, but the 4+1 phase just won't cut the mustard. If you want to OC, then please look at a different board with a 6+2 phase or higher.
With that aside, there have been very few problems I have encountered with this motherboard, and it is sturdy, the capacitors are holding up, and it is a great board for the features it holds. Would recommend this board for anyone wanting a stable board with very little fuss. It just works.
Just wanted to update since the first review I gave in 2011.
