    Good Board for the money
    review by:Stuart Bayne rating:
    customer rating
    operating system:Windows Vista

    I have now purchesed this Motherboard to update my old System to:

    Processor: AMD Athlon II X3 440 (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/191955)
    Motherboard: ASRock M3A770DE (This board obviosly)
    RAM: 4GB Crucial Ram (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159919)
    Graphics: Nvidia GTS250 (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/160711)

    and it unlocked the 4th core on the processor with the minimal fuss (installed AMD Overdrive included in Driver CD and went to Preferance -> Advanced Mode / Proformance Control -> Advanced Clock Calabration to Auto and rebooted to a Phenom II X4 Precessor with L3 Cache) and sofar has done evrything i have asked of it.

    Had this a while now :)
    review by:Anonymous rating:

    operating system:Windows 7

    Had this Mobo a while now and really like it. Built my first system in about an hour and it booted first time. Never had any issues. Dirvers are easy to install on both XP and 7. :) I believe you can use the new Phenom ii X6 but some BIOS flashing is required. I only have 2GB of ram atm, but it can fit 16GB which is more than enough. The board looks great, and some of the slots and CPU heatsink clamps are UV Reactive which is a nice surprise in a UV lit case. :)

    Excellent board
    review by:Kenny rating:
    customer rating
    operating system:Windows 7

    This is a great board for the money, got one quite recently from ebuyer. Installed it no problems, and its running great, very solid and stable with Windows 7. The only snag I found with it is the Northbirdge heatsink is too bulky and I can't fit a pci-express network card in the top slot, so I had to use one of the PCI slots. I'm not into using SLI/Crossfire so I just have the one card, but there isn't much distance between the two PCI-e slots so might be a tight fight for two cards.

    But apart from that this board is rock solid and great value for an AMD Socket AM3 board. Well worth buying.

    Excellent motherboard
    review by:Nam Nguyen rating:
    customer rating
    operating system:Windows 7

    I was really happy with this motherboard and initially cautious since I lived with a brand freak for ages who absolutely hated anything to do with ASROCK. How brand prejudice can cost some people some times.

    Well this board was a joy to set up with, the transistor placements were excellent so installing all my components were certainly less stress free compared to a monster motherboard I bought from Asus (which is an excellent board too) and for the features you get with this board and for the price, well it was too good an opportunity to miss.

    The reviews for this board from well sourced hardware reviewers have been positive about this product so i certainly felt reassured and using it for a budget, the setup was error free and the system is running perfectly.

    Overall, i am more than happy with this board.
