Pros: Nice finish* Media keys work OOTB in Ubuntu Cheap Got this as a backup keyboard for a htpc/server build, and it works great. Had to get something i knew would work in BIOS if my wireless keyboard didnt. Nice responsive keys, didnt take long to get used to. Keys feel a litte closer together than what ive been used to but again you get used to it. As stated all the media keys run out of the box in Ubuntu 9.04.

Cons: *The little palmrest built into the keyboard had some discoloration on it when i got it. Not a deal breaker as its only a backup keyboard.

Overall Review: I can get to calculator faster now?

Pros: tend to not order third party afraid of being burned but if you're here you probably know how scarce 5700x3d cpus are. Was my last AM4 purchase before a full rebuild. Heres how it went- ordered the retail version late night, with numbers dwindling. next morning i promptly get a well written email explaining stock was depleted after my order went through. they offered me the oem version along with a cooler for a cheaper price, and i took them up on it. Prior to shipment from them, received another email with pictures of the cpu and pins, verifying nothing was bent or damaged. Package was easy to track through the system from HK all the way to the States, and it was updated often. Was received at the earliest date posted on the tracker, packaged in so much bubblewrap etc im quite convinced the cpu would have survived atmospheric re-entry. Had my bios already updated, swapped it in and it took off, no issues so far at all. Very good experience overall.

Overall Review: If you still need one of these jump on it! You wont be disappointed

Pros: Cheap. Good board for building from. Features. Good bios options. I bought this board for a midrange build and have been very pleased with it so far. Though ASRock was a new company to me the reviews for their products that were here were very good and this board has not disappointed. Running an AMD Kuma 7750 BE in this with 4 gigs of G.Skill 1066 and a 500gb WD Caviar Green. Everything installed and runs without a hitch. Great easy overclocking options in bios, and its easy to navigate.

Cons: Cant say much for a negative, the BIOS options could be better listed in the manual, but again just some running around in it and I figured everything out I needed.

Overall Review: I havent seen anyone mention this yet - No this board does not have hdmi out, but theres an option for hdmi audio out in the bois, this in conjunction with a dvi to hdmi adapter on the dvi port -supposedly- gives you hdmi video and audio out. I havent confirmed this, seems like a iffy setup but thought it was worth mentioning.

Pros: Price Speed Color of heatsinks - nice blue Looks good in windowed case Nice finish Heavy, doesnt feel cheap I bought this set for a nice mid-range setup, and it works fine. For some reason I could not set individual timings on my ASRock K10N78M w/ AMD Kuma 7750 BE - would not post at 1066 this way. Left the timings alone and set the 'memory clock' to 533 mhz 1066, and it posts and cleared memtest86 fine. Also motherboard has a 'Cool and Quiet' function - from what ive read here with different ram people have had to turn this off to get memory to boot at correct speeds, not the case here. It actually had to be on to get memory to work right. Granted this means the bios is scaling cpu and memory with it but i dont mind that as long as when the system needs it everything runs at top speed.

Cons: Zero instructions, this was the first set of ram I've installed that needed bios adjustments to run, and even some simple instructions would have been nice for novice builders.

Overall Review: Comes with a cool faux-metal G.Skill sticker. I slapped it on my case.

Pros: Nice Length Blue Metal retention clips Connected fine, does what its supposed to

Cons: I have a couple UV blue fans in my case as well but these cables really dont glow at all from them -
