ASRock A780GMH/128M AMD 780G mATX AM2+/AM3 DDR2 VGA HDMI HD Audio GBLAN Motherboard

Cons: I wish it was all PCI-E personally.. I haven't used old-school PCI in almost a full year now, and I really enjoy the speed and performance of my PCI-E soundcard. I just wish I could use other PCI-E devices as well. I also wish the SATA cables that came with the board were 90 degree angled cables to fit my slim tower, but they're $5 at my local computer shop so its no big deal.

Pros: Amazing customization of clock speeds, voltages, and multipliers on this board provide an amazing overclockers / tweakers experience. I personally run it at stock speeds. On board HDMI interfaces provide amazing quality video and sound from every OS from XP -> Win 7. I use this as a workstation board / media center PC when I'm done working and I feel that for a "cheapo" board its quality is truly unmatched. I high recommend ASRock for their amazing bundled software, great performance, and customization for the cost.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Great motherboard with a ton of features in the Bios. I decided to leave the NVIDIA Chipset and get an AMD 7 Chipset, and this board does not disappoint. I had it for a week and it is solid

Cons: My only problem is that I haven't been able to run my RAM at 1066 stable. Been failing either memtest or prime95 at those speeds. I've given up and just run it at 800 now and everything has been smooth.

Pros: Very easy to install. I like the color scheme and everything has worked as stated. Onboard video is a pleasant surprise, easily able to handle win7 and older games (battlefield 2, team fortress 2)

Cons: Not *really* a con, but the manual made it harder to install than it should have. The manual is supposed to come with an overhead picture of the motherboard so you can determine which port is where, but it's missing. If you go online to ASRock's website, you can get the full manual with the missing diagram.

Pros: A wealth of motherboard options in the bios. It has a massive amount of overclocking features. Works quite well.

Cons: DOA

Pros: Realitively Cheap

Cons: None

Pros: Nice board, good embedded graphics and a really great price/performance ratio.

Cons: After about 3 months of normal operation, I went to turn my computer on the other day and the monitor was receiving no video signal. Fans spin up and lights come on now when I power up but still no video signal. The monitor tested fine and I even tried installing a dedicated video card but still get no signal.

Pros: worked fine for a while

Cons: no really but have not used HDMI

Pros: good board easy setup, have used 3 of these and no failures. used for 3 quad units and all work well.

Cons: I know I'm being picky, but it only has 1 full PCI-E slot.

Pros: Great price. Small size while still packing it with plenty of options.

Cons: - Why I took off an egg: I got this for my friend's budget PC build. We installed windows 7 and it could not recognize the mobo when trying to install mobo drivers. Everything *worked* except for sound using the generic Win 7 drivers that windows finds. To install the sound drivers, we went to the device manager and manually forced it to install. This has so far been OK, but the front panel / back panel is somewhat inconsistent in terms of which port is actually working or not. This was with the DVD drivers AND the drivers off of ASRock's website.

Pros: - Good price- 4 dimms on a mATX board- ASRock is operated by ASUS which gives them more credit in my books.

Cons: None.

Pros: Unlocked all four cores (stable) on my Phenom II X2 550.Excellent value. (total features vs. price)

Cons: None, I'm happy

Pros: Didn't cost much. Overclocked my AMD dual core AM3 to 3.45 with the stock fan and it's rock stable with Win Xp Pro x64 and Gskill memory at 1066. lots of bios features.

Cons: No eSATA, no firewire, audio set up issues in Windows 7

Pros: Excellent Layout, great feature set, fantastic price, HDMI works like a charm!

Cons: The memory seems to be stuck at the FSBx2 speed, so at 250FSB my memory is showing 250x2 whether it's set in the bios to 400x2 or 533x2 under the memory settings.

Pros: Board has good features for the size. The audio works good after installing the via drivers (in Win 7 RC). It runs my Regor 240 (2.8GHz) at 3.5GHz stable.

Cons: Don't think it will handle 140watt cpu but the 955 was my golden ring untill AMD had to release the 965 @ 140watts, I want the best but that is just he way I am and not a con about this Mobo.

Pros: This is my first build, installed easy, simple bios, manual has a bit to be desired but there is always the world wide web. Fired up first time EZOC @ 3.36Ghz with Phenom II 720 X3 stable wont go any further then that but like I said this is my first time. Possibly under powered but handled my Phenom 9600BE X4 EZOCed to 2.5Ghz also. Very impressed with this board, granted my only comparison is my Gateway LX6200 Mobo with no oc options. Read other reviews about sound issues and found none with this board. Install disk doesn't work with windows7 you have to browse the cd for all the drivers. Not the fault of this manufacture though. Will buy ASRock again!

Cons: I cannot figure out how to get the memory to run at the 1066 is shows in the bios--when I run cpuID it shows the memory at 245MHZ (which is the FSB speed too) and not the 533/1066 it's set to in the bios. *the AMD overclock tool and SANDRA also show 245x2 for the memory.

Pros: Great price for the features. Like the mATX size w/ 4 dimm slots. and the ATI 3200 IGP which I'm told overclocks via the bios to 3300 specs.

Cons: None

Pros: Low price, lot's of features.

Cons: NONE!! Buy this board!

Pros: Easy set up right out of the box. Booted first time, every time! This thing has all the bells and whistles you could want for just about any build. I put the Phenom II 550 on it and it FLYS with 4gb of ram and Vista SP2. I haven't been able to slow it down with anything I do.

Cons: Came DOA. LAN lights up when plugged in but doesn't do anything else. Wont power on.

Pros: Better PCIE slot position than my last MB.

Cons: This board gave me headaches to boot up. It seem to only boot up after installing a bigger Power supply (had a 420, switched to a 650). Still would not boot --- so after 'rearranging' the board on the seating panel with copper mounts and screws - it finally booted up - 4 hours + to figure it out. Once booted, it would not boot up after overclocking with a dual core Athlon. I toned it down a little and it was fine after that. Its running fine now, and i hope it stays that way!!!

Pros: I am sure that this model AsRock board is pretty good. LOTS of overclocking options. The Manual was fine. Great Price. Plenty of CPU options and RAM selection speeds. I gave it 3 eggs only due to its cons.
