little work but big payoff
Pros: after i got it up and running it has been smooth sailing since (see cons) I have only bought evga in the past for motherboards. I was pleasantly surprised of the quality of this MB. Socket issues???? 2600 k @ 4.8 on air (no problems) 570 evga 120G ocz revo drive (pci express) 8 gig corsair xms3 (9-9-9-24 @ 1600)
Cons: after 2 days of trouble shooting i found the problem. 2 bent socket pins? I always check pins before cpu installs. This was no different. After trouble shooting everything I pulled the cpu. @ 2 touching pins!!!??? It was giving me a 45 error code. I was about to give up. After some very delicate surgery all is good! Do not know how common this is, but this is my 30+ cpu install and never had a problem with it?
Overall Review: With no experience with ASROCK I was very hesitant. If you feel the same way DO NOT HESITATE!! This is your MB!
Good for my needs
Pros: 50 mbps wired (reasonable) 20 -30 mbps wireless transfer speeds (ok) have 2 wireless and 1 wired pc's on my home network happy with this as a backup device for my home pc's The easiest setup of any network device I have ever used and was viewable by all 3 pc's after setup Very happy with price after promo code!
Cons: could have faster transfer speeds but we always want faster, right? Have not took much time to maximize anything.
great for the wife
Pros: very pleased with the overall quality for the price. the wife wanted a pink case and chose this one. looks nice for pink. plenty of room for me. all mounts were firm.
Cons: side panel a little flimsy, but not that big of a deal.
