Pros: - Only X570 board available in this form factor - Had all the ports and expansion I needed out of the box - Lots of fan headers, which have some good configuration options - Nice simple design, understated - I would definitely recommend this board

Cons: - The manual was a bit hard to read, especially about the fan headers and their functions - Board was shipped with 1.40 BIOS, which I updated to 1.60. Not really a minus as the old BIOS worked with the series 3000 chip

Overall Review: I built a system for myself after waiting weeks for the board to come into stock and be shipped to Australia. Main specs Corsair Air 240 case Corsair RM850X power supply ASRock X570M Pro 4 motherboard AMD 3700X processor Corsair 100X AIO cooler 2 additional Corsair 120mm pro series fans (non rgb) 2 sets (2x8) of Gskill Flare X 3200 CL14 dimms (black) Samsung 970 EVO NVME 500gb (boot drive) Samsung 860 QVO 2TB SSD (games drive) 2 x Seagate 4TB 3.5" drives for media storage Currently using a spare 1080 of some model, but will be getting a Powercolor 5700XT Red Devil as soon as I can get my hands on one. The system POSTed first time, and has been working faultlessly so far.

Pros: Well laid out but missing some pretty basic stuff.

Cons: How could you make a motherboard with only 2 Sata ports. It is a micro ATX form factor so its not like there isn't enough room for the sockets on it. There are plenty of ITX board with 4-6 sata ports

Overall Review: I am hoping to build a test bench computer for testing hardware and doing disk recovery operations. My initial look at this board was encouraging and it has some legacy ports such as parallel and serial that might be useful to some people. However I can't imagine that I am going to be happy with only two sata ports. This board might be good for something like a Point-of-sale terminal but not for a home theatre setup. I understand that its a cheap board but....

Pros: ITX form factor 6 x Sata III (6 gig) ports Reputable manufacturer Support for ESX 16 gigs of ECC RAM support as long as you stick to the QVL

Cons: A little expensive ** Newegg won't ship it to Australia ** ** Why is there restrictions on shipping to Australia **

Overall Review: I just ordered this board through another large online retailer as newegg won't ship this product to Australia for some reason. None of the ASROCK Rack range of servers boards are sold in Australia yet. I currently training in VMware and the latest microsfot server and exchange products. I wanted to build a small server that I could use to be able to load these products offline from the corporate network. The first boxes I was looking at were the HP Micro Server N54L Gen7 and the Xeon 1220 based Gen8. The pricing and bundle available for these servers in Australia is not as good as the USA either. Also once you start adding RAM, a raid 5 HP P222 board etc they really aren't that cheap even in the US. There is quite a price difference between the Celeron based G8 boxes and the Xeon models too, far more in fact than the chip is worth. I see that many people are throwing the celeron away and buying a Xeon E3 1265L to upgrade it. It's a pity that this isn't the standard Xeon chip in the build. The 1220L is only a dual core, so is really a waste of money. I am thinking of building my server in a Bitfenix Phenom case with 6 x 2TB hard drive, and booting off a USB thumb drive. Or maybe a small SSD and have 5x2TB drives in RAID 5. The Xeon E3-1231V3 chip looks like it has a good performance/price point and I will use a small water cooler like a Corsair H60 to keep it cool and quiet.

Pros: @Wenle Z. Sounds like a great system you have built Wenle. How about sharing a build list with us. The case looks pretty unique with all the drive bays and sas/sata compatibility. There is noting else on the market I have seen even close to its features in a small form factor. The closest I have used in a Bitfenix Phenom/Prodigy ITX case with 6 3.5" bays

Cons: Some people are complaining about a lack of ATX power supply compatibility, but you can get some nice SFX power units (read silverstone) that will suit the case perfectly. I can't see any build going into this case needing more than 450 watts unless you are building a gaming rig....and there are many better case options for that.

Overall Review: I'd love to see some more knowledgeable people post some good built lists for getting 8 or more drives running from an ITX motherboard. I have seen a few postings on other newegg items talking about building a NAS in this box but all lack in detail.

Pros: Another cheap and good quality AM1 platform board

Cons: I'd like to buy the version where they solder all the parts on. It is missing two sata ports and an IDE port. Most people won't need the IDE port but why not solder on two more sata headers?

Overall Review: What is it with micro atx AM1 boards? All of them seems to have less features that the ITX ones on the market. It doesn't make sense does it.

Pros: Strong Well constructed

Cons: Virtually no airflow Only 2x90mm fans included. No room for any other cooling fans or All-in-one radiators.

Overall Review: Compared to cases made my companies like Dell, SuperMicro, HP, IBM this case has no cooling capability whatsoever. There is no way I am going to build my system with a $2000 Xeon E5 in this case. Maybe a low powered media server with a lot of hard drives. With a case as big a 4RU high, it could be a lot better. Go back to the drawing board and try again.
