Very happy

Pros: Best quality Am3 single 16x pcie motherboard I could find for under 100$. Everything worked after putting it together, it posted and booted first try. Everything feels and looks very high quality on this board! All the connections and ports you can ever need.
Cons: None I have found.
Overall Review: I did allot of research and this had everything I wanted.. I'm glad I went with this board and will buy asrock again. I used an Asrock board for an old school athlon 2500+, and its still running great after more then 5 years.
Best upgrade for older AM4 CPU gaming systems

Pros: -Best gaming performance available on AM4. - The 3D V-Cache helps smooth out FPS drops. -The Carbice thermal pad included works well and is a clean quick install. Temps should over time come down with use.
Cons: -Not worth upgrading to this CPU on a system that already has a Ryzen 5000 8+ core CPU. -5950x, 5900x, 5900xt, 5800xt, 5800x cost less, have higher clocks or more cores. They are a better choice for most situations. -All 3D V-Cache AM4 CPUs to run much hoter because of their design.
Overall Review: Buy this for an older AM4 system as a last upgrade. Don't waste time/money with the 5800X3D if you already have a never higher end AM4 CPU.
AMD finally got it right! Excellent stable card

Overall Review: Upgraded from an Intel B580. The performance improvement is what you would expect, all the games I play run at settings maxed out, in 3440x1440. I was apprehensive to buy a Radion GPU again because of my past experiences with a rx7600 randomly crashing in games. I couldn't stomach buying an Nvidia at their monopoly pricing This RX9070xt has been solid and not crashed once. Great job AMD!
Overall, an alright case... it looks nice

Pros: Open space and nice looking design USB 3 on top Slimmest case I could find to fit in a small area
Cons: The power supply I used didn't fit well, had to remove a rivet from the case to make it fit. Flimsy thin metal Front fans mount up strange
Overall Review: I like this case overall and am happy with the purchase. But if I did it again, I would spend more money and get one of higher quality.
Worked perfectly

Pros: Inexpensive, caught it on sale so even better price. Came packaged very well and couldn't tell it was not brand new.
Cons: Not a lot of storage ? Thats obvious though.
Overall Review: Would buy again
FAST!

Pros: Insane fast! 7.4 (7.9 is the highest) on windows experience index with ASRock 770 EXTREME3 AM3 motherboard (great motherboard btw).
Cons: - Uses allot of watts, but its quad core and 3.4GHz... Its gonna draw some power! - New amd cpus are coming out soon, but I didn't want to wait. I am very happy with this and don't regret buying it. If you get a good motherboard you can probably just upgrade the processor down the road anyway.
Overall Review: I bought this to replace a socket 939 opteron. Its such a huge increase in performance, I am shocked. I got the black edition because its multiplier unlocked. But honestly I have no need to overclock it right now. Maybe I will overclock in the future but have absolutely no need to atm.
