Question 1

Does this come with built in wifi conector, so I can connect to a router wirelessly?

Accepted Answer

This one doesn't come with a built-in wifi connector. You can either use a USB Network adapter (there are plenty available here on Newegg) or connect it to a router via ethernet cable.

Question 2

Does this board have built in wireless?

Accepted Answer

No, this board does not have wireless capability integrated into it. But you can add a wireless card or usb to your computer relerively cheap, just look up " wireless card" on Newegg.

Question 3

would this work with amd phenom x6?

Accepted Answer

No. The Phenom x6 is an AM3 platform processor. You cannot buy a motherboard with a Missed-matched socket type. But AM3+ boards will work with most, if not all, AM3 CPUs.

Question 4

Do you need to have dual channel ram or will one 8 gb 1600 mhz ddr3 stick work?

Accepted Answer

First I would advise going to Asrock's support site and downloading the manual. In there you will see your answer under memory. That being said, yes you can use a single memory stick of DDR3 240-pin memory. You will achieve a bit higher memory performance using 2 matched 4GB sticks in dual channel mode. If you are just building it for general use like email and surfing it will not be a noticeable difference. It will not have a noticeable boot time difference, or opening typical files like docs and pictures. If you already have a single stick, I'd use it. If you are buying new, I'd go for 2 sticks in dual channel mode (unless you are on a very tight budget and can get a astonishingly good deal on a single 8GB stick.

Question 5

hi, is this a good board for gaming and if not any recomondations around the same price,
will this work well with my build? 
 Cpu- Athalon x4 760k
 Cooler: Cooler mast hyper tx3
 gpu: R7 260X
 Ram: Crucial Ballistics sport 1x8 gb
 Storage: WD caviar blue 1tb 3.5"
 PSU: Corsair builder 500wat
 Case: Theraltake urban s31

Accepted Answer

Yes it will, and it supports crossfire to some extent. I will suggest switching to 2x4gb ram though. Otherwise your ram is running at half speed.

Question 6

does this Support my 1600mhz ram or will I have to buy new ram?

Accepted Answer

says it does in the specs.  has to be dual channel ddr3.

Question 7

Is crossfire compatible on this board with an AMD FM2 A6 5400k processor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. But I would look for another board because it has a 3.0 x16 and a 2.0 x16 at 4x. It is a good board, but I personally would look for something a little different depending upon what your uses are.

Question 8

How many watts is this motherboard , and what are the dimensions?

Accepted Answer

this is a micro atx they give no specs on exact size...these boards typically run between 6.75 to 9.5 inches in a square configuration ....cpu support is rated at 95 watts for fm2+

Question 9

So do i have to get under 2300 ddr3 or 2400 or more?

Accepted Answer

you can get as high of clock speed ram as you're willing to purchase, if you get a higher clock speed than your mobo can handle, it will just throttle it back to its top supported speed.

If you go with ram that operates at a lower clock speed than your board, it will simply operate at the maximum supported clock speed of the ram.

tl;dr you'll see performance up to the capabilities of the weakest link (mobo or ram)
