Pros: I am using this board since first week of June, 2009 ans so far don't have any issue. Did not get any issue even first time boot up. I will recommend this for all those who are looking a reliable board with lot of features (HDMI, IEEE1394 etc.) in a very reasonable price. Cons: I am unable to understand how come the designer(S) of this board didn't notice that North Bridge is in the way of PCI 1 slot. from Newegg.com I burned up the net looking for info on it and it won test, after test, after freakin test. It is hard to believe it is so inexpensive and so fast. Good stuff and I would buy it many time over!! Cons: I read that it doesn't like to intialize add-on video cards on the first try and that is true. from Newegg.com Pros: I got this board because I was getting a AMD Phenom II X3 720 for my new "budget" gaming rig. This board allowed me to unlock the 4th core without any problems. from Newegg.com Pros: Priceonboard videoextra 4x pci-e slot Cons: none Other Thoughts: The onboard video is very capable, you can even play older games on it. Just don't expect to be able to play any recently released first person shooters with it. I was getting around 20+ fps in Call of Duty 2 at 1440x900 after overclocking the onboard video a little.system:AMD x3 720 beASRock m3a790gxh4 gb (2x2) ocz ddr3 1600 platinump.s. to the guy who RMA'ed his board and it still didn't work. from Newegg.com Pros: The ACC worked on my X3 720 AM3 processor!!!! Week on my processor is 0906 ordered on 5/3/09. from Newegg.com RMAs were fast. Cons: I first got this board about two weeks ago. i plugged everything in and it turned on fine, but when i hooked it up to a monitor it didn't show anything. So I tried my friend's video card. from Newegg.com Pros: It came in a shiny box. Cons: It didn't work!!! When I turned it on, it started up but no matter what configuration I tried i could not get anything to come up on screen. I tried two different graphics cards, nothing. from Newegg.com Pros: I don't have that much computer knowledge, but I've always heard it's really simple building your own pc...basically just plugging in stuff, which is what I did with this mobo. I thought I would have to at least fiddle with the bios settings, but it automatically did everything for me. from Newegg.com Pros: AM3 CPU support (DDR3), easily runs OCZ reaper DDR3 @ 1600. PII X3 720 stock voltage with 4th core enabled runs at 3.4Ghz using the cr@ptastic stock AMD Cooler. 12 USB 2.0, Software Raid 0, 1, 5.. from Newegg.com Pros: See OT Cons: See OT Other Thoughts: It appears that Newegg put or Asrock gave them the wrong info for this board. The info they listed is for Asrock's AM2/AM2+ 790GX boards, this board is the M3A790GXH which does support DDR3 1600. from Newegg.com
