Pros: This board is microATX and is a powerful overclocker. With a Thermalright HR-05 on the northbridge, the board tops out at 324MHz for me which is very high for a relatively cheap board. It includes all overclocking options ever needed and the board is very solid. Right now I have my X2 3600+ brisbane at 2.9GHz (306x9.5 1.33v). Very solid board, good features with a happy pricetag.

Cons: Still pretty new, so no updated BIOS' yet. Biostar Tech support is pretty lame and the respondents cannot spell for their lives. I asked about a faulty CPU temperature reading in the BIOS and they responded with a solution to set "optimized defaults"....right?

Overall Review: Great paired with a X2 3600+ Brisbane 65nm

Pros: Good for those who arnt interested in vcore changes.

Cons: Ok bought this motherboard about 6months ago and it was good. I stupidly rushed to buy this board and didnt read that Vcore changes couldnt be applied with a Sempron 2800+. Not what i wanted...didnt have enough money to change it. It did 200x7.5 on my sempy 2800+ to get 2.4GHz. RMA'd the board. The new board doenst do over 1.9GHz. What a joke. Wont be gettin this board again...

Pros: Booted up first time. Great looking board. No issues with Geil EVO Potenza RAM and running it with a R5 1600 and an MSI RX480 8GB. Been running for 24hrs now and seems strong.

Cons: Only one single USB2.0 header, however as long as you have a modern case with a USB3.0, it shouldn't be an issue.

Overall Review: This review for ASRock review rebate program -- but this did not influence my rating. In fact I am editing this review as I made a review before I knew about the rebate.

Pros: Using for HTPC for my 60" 1080p Vizio TV. Dual core is plenty and onboard video card streams 1080p 18GB MKV files without a problem. Killawatt shows 46w idle. Undervolted to 1.22v and it was showing 36w idle. Can't ask for more. Grabbed with a 10% coupon for $67

Cons: Wish more miniITX boards available for socket FM2

Pros: PERFECT fit in my HTPC. Does not hit any capacitors. Cooling is pretty good. I idle around 26c on my X2 3600+ and it is dead silent with its fan.

Cons: HORRIBLE mounting system for AM2. I was getting 45c idle until I moved the bracket down a notch to make it tighter. I had to also lap the thing because the base was not flat. It took all alot of strength and board bending to fit it on the tightest mount "setting". I was afraid of cracking my motherboard, but once I got it down it was idling MUCH better. If I could do it again, I'd probably go with another heatsink, but for my HTPC it works fine now.

Pros: This board is SOLID. Crossfire is great and Hybrid Crossfire is a great way to allow for completely smooth HD 1080p playback. I can play 1080p files fine, but when it comes to mkv it stutters and the GPU offloads the work onto the CPU. I bought a HD 4550 so it will run 100% smooth. Hybrid crossfire is perfect if you have no intention to play games, or very little and value your power consumption at the socket. BIOS is powerful and overclocks nicely

Cons: As above, stutters on 1080p MKV files. Needs hybrid crossfire (HD 3xxx series card) to run smooth on this type of HD video. Only allows for 700 Core overclock on the IGP which is a shame.

Overall Review: Not sure if something is wrong with the default IGP core....I have read that the 790GX should be 700MHz default, yet this comes at 500MHz default. Just a thought.
