pretty decent workhorse

Pros: This thing is nice! I'm going from a very aging AMD FM2+ X4 860K to this. Seems to handle everything I throw at it fine, but my workloads are pretty not too demanding average with some gaming "workouts" thrown in. So far I'm very happy.
Cons: No cons really - just wish the price were more manageable but compared to other choices it actually saved me a good sized bundle. Guess any CPU is a bit much for my wallet.
Overall Review: I chose the 65 watt version because frankly I was tired of heat issues. My old AMD FM2+ X4 860K was a workhorse but always worried it would fry it's way through the MOBO. This Ryzen with a Scythe Mugen cooler and a Noctua fan (NF-F12 iPPC - their industrial fans, not the consumer fans - 3000 RPM w/PWM) keep it pretty okay; usually doesn't go over 45 or so under loads. My workloads aren't too demanding but some gaming I do gets it warm. Also added three Cooler Master Jetflo fans, 2 on case front, one in back - a tad noisy but as I said just tired of heat issues. This CPU's been great so far for that.
good, easy setup and first run

Pros: Was easy to set up and get running. Using it with a Ryzen 7 2700 (65w), GSkill TridentZ RGB 16G for RAM (2933), Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ RX 590, and 75 w EVGA PSU. No glitches, fired right up. Still have my fingers crossed over that one, just jumpy from reviews where they don't fire up and etc. Anyway mine went easy for whatever reasons - anyone so afflicted, you most certainly have my sympathies, don't know what I would've done. Handling workloads very well, am happy with this MOBO.
Cons: Mainly none. There are some hookups I wish it had a couple more of here and there, but for the price, I can't complain. It's got a bunch as it is actually. The backplate is thin, I've had no problems with mine but it can get accidentally bent easily. Am glad they give you one though.
Overall Review: It's a really decent board for the price from what I've seen it do so far. My workloads usually aren't hugely demanding and this should work well for quite some time to come assuming no catastrophes encountered. I'm really liking it actually. This is my second ASRock board and they've both worked out great for me. Guess it depends on what you want and need (and can afford) certainly, but these have performed well, I'm very happy with this and my previous MOBO.
Good smooth quiet fan

Pros: -Works well, smooth and quiet
Cons: -none so far
Overall Review: I got this and the 92 mm model, both work great. My setup ran hot until I added a fan and cooler, so both fans got worked pretty hard, both ran great. Would purchase again.
good bargain

Pros: great price tons of drive space
Cons: none
Overall Review: This was a great bargain for 250 bucks. Works fine. It was bare bones, I added CD DVD burner (was read only, enough to get up and running) and graphics card. Upgraded it a year later with 250GB SSD and GTX 750Ti graphics card, bigger (600 watt) PSU, and maxed out the RAM (8 gigs). No pro or gamers rig but a good home system that's taken tons of constant all around use with no problems. I left the old hard drive in for added storage, use the SSD as primary drive. Then swapped the old HDD for an 80 gig Western Digital 10k RPM Velociraptor HDD that was lying around. Not a hot rig but it "gets me around town", good enough for a bits and pieces home machine. The upgrades were more to lighten the load, "chug through most stuff" rather than expecting it to fly like a hot rig. If approached, used as what it is, it's a great home use bargain PC. Very happy with purchase, have gotten tons of use out of it already.
yup works

Pros: worked fine with what I used it for
Cons: no complaints
Overall Review: Much easier than scrounging from stuff around the home quieter mount gasket and already cut to size. It's a general size, not perfect sized for every fan. Fit fine but if didn't, minor trimming would be expected and much easier than making one completely from scratch. It says "silicon", did they mean silicone ? Not sure. Fine by me whatever it is. I had a quiet fan it was just overkill, worked fine in a low vibration application.
easy to use

Pros: fit SSD drive, no sizing problems fits either desktop tower slots can hold 2 drives
Cons: none
Overall Review: Worked great for Samsung SS drive (850 EVO, 256 bit). Fit fine and I can add another SSD. No screws or bolts needed, just snapped in with mine. There are a lot of holes for different mounts if screws are needed. Mine has snap in mounts for the regular hard disk or SSD adaptor, so mine was a snap in setup anyway before I even got this adaptor. Fit fine in Dell OptiPlex 760 - no jamming or stuffing in or crowbar - like "adaptations" necessary. (regular common full size desktop tower) (760 says it's a minitower, it's same size as regular desktop tower).
