Pros: Today was my first build using this motherboard. Success! I wouldn't have chosen nothing else to go into my case. Comes with drivers on a disc which will be loaded after you install the OS first. 5 sata ports are plenty enough (you only need two really). Im using a quad core amd processor which fly's through task.

Cons: None. I see negative reviews on here that are very nip-picky. Processor heat sink fan was rough to install. You really had to press hard to lock it down. But dont hesitate to buy it

Overall Review: It has an on board lcd display for diagnostics which really means nothing to me but it may come in handy down the road

Pros: Awesome bios, plenty of USB 3.0 ports and sata ports. Great layout design.

Cons: Ethernet adapter issues.

Overall Review: Bought this board 2 years ago. Great motherboard for my i5-4690K processor. But the most annoying drawback that the ethernet adapter failed. it had issues in the beginning but was able to work around them. Somtimes i had to totally disconnect power to the tower itself and ground out the static to get the adapter to work again. Weirdest thing i ever came across but it solved the problem. Then when a new security update came out on windows 10, i had to re-adjust registry files to get the adapter working again which makes it extra strange. This finally yesterday morning i fire up my tower and there is a big red X on the network icon saying "your ethernet adapter has failed. contact your hardware manufacture." WOW. Fortunately i have a wireless dongle to get me through but i will be looking for a new motherboard to replace it. Just not this same exact one. Sorry ASRock but a simple component like that shouldn't have failed in two years.

Pros: It holds data. I mean what else is a hard drive supposed to do? Easy to setup up in windows 7. Drivers install automatically but just remember to assign and format it before use or it won't see it or usable. (Computer management, Disk management in Admin tools)

Cons: No cons, worked on arrival. If required make sure you have screws for your tower to mount the drive, it doesn't come with any.

Overall Review: After i assigned the new hard drive i had approximately 1.9 TB's of usable storage. This drive was purchased as extra storage to hold my gameplay footage. As a test i transferred 7 videos at a total of 7.8 GB of data from my primary drive to the new drive. took 1 minute approximately. My motherboard sata ports are rated for 6 Gb/s as a gauge. Then i was able to easily erase it with no trouble. I also had a promotional $5 coupon so the grand total is $80. Stop reading what i wrote on my review and buy it!

Pros: When recording the game play is lag less. It uses pass through technology which helps you with game performance while recording to a flash drive or directly to computer. This little device processes the video on the fly which keeps the heat off the computer. The software you can download from hauppauge has an option to link your youtube account and upload video without opening a browser. It also has quick edit buttons if you need to trim up the video. You can record with a flash drive on the fly up to 32 GB. I also saw somewhere in a hauppauge faq that you can record off of netflix and such but you have to use an analog signal (component cables) because HDMI uses HDCP.

Cons: The game capture software that you can download for free is kind of generic at best. I use it for the time being until i can find something better. I had a little issue with the microphone jack. I had to really push it into the slot fairly hard just to get it to pick up. Maybe that might have been my equipment but i thought it was kind of weird.

Overall Review: When you record on a flash drive it records the file as an MP4 which partitions every 2GB (20 Mins) which you cannot edit with the software. Something to keep in mind. The box gets a little warm but you have to remember that it does the processing on the spot so its understandable. If you want to be a youtube walkthrough sensation like theRadBrad or Ghostrobo, this is where to start. And i believe this latest firmware update allowed for PS4 and Xbox One recording as well.

Pros: Huge case for plenty of air flow. Comes with two fans and the fans have hardwired speed controls which kinda makes no sense to me considering most motherboard BIOS will let you control the speed anyway. Case sides came off easy and supplies plenty of hardware.

Cons: when i got this in the mail i heard some loose hardware jingling all over the place. (no it wasnt santa clause) the 50 million thumb screws it came with busted open from the plastic bag they were in. i had to carefully go through all the nook and crannies to pick each one out. The reset button on the front of the case is kinda cheap and you need something thin and long to press it with unless you got super skinny fingers.

Overall Review: 2 USB's in the front, microphone and headphone jack in the front as well. power and HDD LED blue lights as well. I like the mesh front covering. looks industrial.

Pros: This card is pretty boss. I am a sworn nvidia customer till the day i die (or grown up). I play l4d, fallout 3 and new vegas most of the time and this card blows through without a single hiccup.

Cons: Make sure you read the dimensions so it can fit your case.

Overall Review: I barely hear the fan. The motherboard i use reads 40-42C degrees during normal gaming operations which is nominal averave for my rig so it stays cools. Heat pipes look cool. Drivers are included on a cd. About these rebates....people seem to have problems cashing and sending them in. YOU NEED TO READ THE INSTRUCTION TO THE VERY LAST DETAIL. If it tells you to cut the address out and tape it to the envelope, then do it. Trust me thats gotta be 99% of the problem because somebody didnt read the instructions all the way. They dont send checks either, then send a debit card. Good card though i love it
