Pros: Good overall budget board.

Cons: Started up board and got that wonderful burning electronics smell.... The audio circuitry is toast.... RMA'ing for replacement

Pros: Love this thing. Supports USB 3.0. 1xSATA3 @ 6.0Gb/s, 6 SATA3 connectors total. All for $60. I'm using this with an i3-2120T for a low power NAS build. So I'm taking advantage of the onboard video/network/sound. All of these work great on this MOBO.

Cons: After installing all the drivers on the provided CD there was still one "Unknown Driver" in windows. It turns out this is a driver for Intel Smart Connect Technology. You can find the installer for this here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20866 If you're running windows 7 and it complains about not having Admin rights go under user accounts and set UAC to never notify just for this install.

Overall Review: ASRock was a new name for me. I can say ASRock ROCKS! I will definitely be building with these guys again. Happy to see another vendor on the MOBO market. Well done with this one ASRock.

Pros: This motherboard is awesome! It has worked incredibly well for the two years I have been using it with my Core i5 2400 and GTX 550Ti. The UEFI Bios is a really cool feature, you get to use your mouse in the BIOS. I like how the board is black, it looks more sleek than a green or blue motherboard.

Cons: Spacing on motherboards PCI-E ports is causing me to buy a new case. I cant run an SLI or CrossFire setup because the second PCI-E slot is nearly butted up to the bottom of my Micro ATX case. This fault is more on me than ASRock. Wish it had 4 ram slots rather than 2. Again, I knew what I was buying and figured two was enough, and this is on me. So I didn't dock anything off the rating

Overall Review: I have the original version of this motherboard, not the 2.0. It had 4 USB 3.0 ports instead of two. That's the only difference I could find.

Pros: Seems solid. Drivers all work with win 7. Like the instant boot Tech and it works well in Win 7. Decent layout and good general options

Cons: Overclocking options somewhat limited but you can do some. This is not really an overclockers board but it does allow some. Onboard video IS junk. OS will not load using the onboard video. Had to install an old PCIe (2) card and change the bios setting to bypas onboard video just to load the OS. GRRRRRR. However after the OS is loaded and the drivers are loaded it will then work. Thats going around the knee to get to the ear if you ask me.

Pros: Setup is a breeze. And the bios on this mobo is great. Easy OC options.

Cons: Only reason this thing doesn't get 5 eggs is the location of the front audio port. It's directly above the PCI 3 slot, and thats a long way to run the wires, and it needs to weave around both the video card and CPU fan.

Pros: Awesome price, easy setup, very robust board. Setup of this basic build was a breeze because of how easy it was to get components in the board.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I purchased this board to setup a basic computer for my mother with a Core i3, 8 gb of DDR3, and this board to replace her aged Windows XP computer. I have never even considered ASRock since I usually use Gigabyte or Asus, but I am very impressed. I am purchasing another ASRock board for my build that should be here next week.

Pros: GREAT MB for the price. Easy setup, great documentation. I like the BIOS too!

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: Thanks everybody that wrote a review ahead of me. That's why I bought this one. Great replacement for a failed Dell Inspiron 620 MB.

Pros: Awesome motherboard!! asrock is the best updated the bios via internet to 1.60 flawlessly. I'm gonna buy another one for my wife's computer that I'm building her!!!

Cons: none
