Best AM3+ mATX motherboard available

Pros: This is the best micro ATX AM3+ motherboard available. The options are slim, it's between this and the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3. I have both. This has SATA3 (6 GB/s) and the Gigabyte board does not. Both have same 4+1 VRMs, the ASRock are Digi though. It will support a slightly higher overclock, but not much. I wouldn't recommend anything more powerful than a FX-8350, the higher binned chips that are more than 125W TDP require too much power for these little boards. Really if you're trying to build a super powerhouse AMD build, you need to get a ATX sized board. The ASUS 970 Aura is the best bang for buck board on the market right now for AM3+ chips. But back to the pros of this board over the Gigabyte one: SATA3 (6 GB/s) One extra fan header Support for faster memory (I'm running 2133MHz, but keep in mind, with 4 sticks of memory the FX chip memory controller is limited to 1600MHz!!) UEFI Bios Slightly better software support Better overclocking 2x PCIe Express x16 slots (one is limited to 4x lanes)
Cons: This board is not very powerful and not meant for heavy overclocking. It is without a doubt the best mATX AM3+ board on the market, but that's because they're are really only two viable options, this board and the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
Overall Review: If AMD isn't going to drop some new flagship/non APU CPU's, I wish companies would make nice high end AM3+ mATX boards. This one is not that great, but still your best option if your case limits you to this size of motherboard.
Does not work

Pros: It arrived at my house on time.
Cons: It either works for a couple of minutes or doesn't work at all. I've tried 5 different USB cables that work fine with all my other charges and devices. Nothing works, I will plug in my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) and either it wont start charging, or it will charge for a few minutes and stop.
Overall Review: I might have been unlucky and got a bad unit.
Terrific Fans!

Pros: These are exceptional fans for radiators, CPU coolers, or even as a case fan. The PWM range is decent, it can be a little loud at full speed but its a deep noise as apposed to a high pitched whining noise. I typically run then around 1500RPMs on a couple of radiators in my custom waterloop.
Cons: The blue is beautiful but the white makes it hard to integrate into every build. My only con is I wish they made them in different colors, or at least with a black casing instead of white.
Overall Review: $20 is a little steep but for $10-$15 these are great fans. Silverstone makes good products. Check out their FN121 fans as well.
Great piece of hardware!

Pros: It works really well. My Windows 8.1 install had drivers for it already, so it was enough to get online and find the most recent driver update. Compact, doesn't take up a PCIe slot, and doesn't stick out of my PC like a USB adapter.
Cons: It is an OEM product so all you get is the card in a clamshell, but you know that going in. There are no drivers included but Windows had a working driver already.
Fast and reliable

Pros: The biggest pro on these drives is the pricing. The price can't be beat for the quality you get. I've had over a dozen Seagate drives now, all still operational with no issues. With two of these in RAID0 my read/write times rivaled a SSD. With 4TB of space for $170 and speeds of 400/350 MB/s you really can't beat that.
Cons: They come OEM so no screws or SATA cable. Not a big deal, your motherboard and case should come with everything you need.
Great cooler, small quirks though..

Pros: The performance on this cooler is decent with higher pressure fans. I use two Corsair SP120's in push and pull configuration and cooling was significantly better (-10C over delta ambient) than my Hyper T4 with the same fans.
Cons: The stock fan is underwhelming. The fan clips only work with regular box (square) style fans. They will not work with a Corsair, Cougar, or other more rounded body style fans.
