ASRock A780GXE/128M ATX AMD Motherboard

Cons: Would like to see support for more fans (not a big deal with this installation)

Pros: Good layout, everything is working.

Cons: Did not post, either DOA or doesn't like older AM2 Proc

Pros: Cheap board with alot of features.

Cons: I can't seem to used the "ganged" memory option. I get random odd behavior ranging from stuttery performance to outright crashes. This isn't important enough to me to worry about, just an FYI.

Pros: Current Asrock boards are nice. High quality, nice layout, feature-rich, and make for an easy system build. It's not as flexible with 1066 memory as I would have liked, but I found a happy medium. Over the six-odd months that I've used it, it's been fast and very solid.

Cons: no onboard leds, sli mode 8x instead of 16x. board does not recognize either of my sounds cards. creatives audigy 2 or the x-fi i have. This is a huge let down. i expected more from these guys. i usually buy ecs boards and have not one problem.

Pros: sli, premium capacitors, firewire port, 4 mem slots, esata ports. An AM3 supported board that runs on ddr2.

Cons: It doesn't have DDR3 capabilities, but for the price, I wouldn't expect it to.

Pros: This board is great value for money. It has awesome bios and possibilities for overclocking. Very durable board.

Cons: None

Pros: Works as advertised, perfectly

Cons: Came with a faulty video card, was simpler to buy a new one then wait weeks to deal with manufacturers warranty.

Pros: Rest as expected.

Cons: There was an error on the boot screen from the first time I booted and it's remained. I figured a BIOS update would fix it but can't find one on their site. None of the PCI slots work. Typewriter doesn't work in DOS screen when trying to start in safe mode, etc. Sometimes the bIOS won't let you use it. You can change the date and it resorts back to wrong date. Recently the volume screen for the onboard sound appears in the center of the screen when you first boot and never goes away even if the sound is disabled. I've written to ASrock using their site forms and all I get back is an acknowledgement.

Pros: Easy to install. Lots of times I don't get the little LED, HDD, speaker, wires connected right to the mobo and this was very clear.

Cons: Onboard Realtek audio is horrible. On my previous board i could adjust the Equalizer to where i wanted it. The only option now is to use one of their presets. They all sound Horrible. I am disgusted.

Pros: Good Motherboard, Easy set-up and Os installation went smooth.

Cons: Read the fine print, when using an AM2 processor the memory is single channel. You must have at least AM2+ and 1066 mem for dual channel. Also the Ethernet port sometimes would not come up on boot, had to remove the cable and plug back in. I changed the wake up on LAN setting to all off, I think that was what fixed it.Also stay completely away from the power save options, it will do strange things if you are defraging HD or any other automated program and it tries to power down.

Pros: Good deal for the $$ BUT READ THE CONS.Even though the video is onboard it still perfoms well because of the side port mem. Lots of options for overclock. All the drivers worked right out of the box.

Cons: none

Pros: this board is still kicking for me, have had it since early january, am running windows 7 on it and no problems at all what so ever, have built a second machine using this board and have had that for almost 3 months now. overall i am very satisfied with this board and i recommend that u buy it for this amazing price.

Cons: None.

Pros: Lots of options for OCing. Lots of ports for expansion. I have no complaints with this board. Everything worked out of the box.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Great budget motherboard. Tons of options in the bios for OC tweaking if this is your thing. Simple setup this motherboard should last me for awhile.

Cons: Not a huge fan of Realtek gigabit.

Pros: Solid board, good features. Running as a home server with CentOS Linux.Fast, and no setup glitches with an X2 545 Proc and 8gb G.Skill Memory.

Cons: There are a few issues: the PCIe 1x nearest to the CPU is blocked by the chipset heatsink, so you cannot put any cards in that are longer than the back of the PCIe slot. This cuts your PCIe ports down to the 2 16x slots left. With a PCIe video card, you now have one left. As other reviewers have said, the eSATA requires the use of one of the internal SATA ports.The BIOS has a lot of options to work with overclocking, but nothing like some of the previous boards I have owned. There is also much missing in the BIOS relating to your Hard Drives.The AMD Raid takes 5-20 seconds to start during boot.

Pros: Overall this is a good motherboard. Well built, AM3 support, 140W support.

Cons: The onboard LAN does not work.

Pros: Price is right for a mid level system.Connections are well marked.

Cons: NADA.. ZILCH..

Pros: Beefy board, fit into a REALLY OLD 2 foot high ATX case that had an old P166 board in it originally and all the mounting holes lined up like a glove.. Easy install of all components.. EIDE drive works fine, 640G SATA humming alont great. I put a 5050e 45 watt processor with stock HS/FAN in with the 4 gig 2-2G dual channel GSkill DDR-II memory and a cool running added in Gigabyte HD4350/512M it all runs cool and almost silent. Rock solid sound off onboard, the video with the onboard Radeon 3200 and the added 4350 working in tandem is surperb, though overkill for most things I do, and could really get by with the onboard for what I do 99% of the time, I can work with 3D modelling software under Linux. firewire! ESATA CONNECTION -> NICE!!

Cons: -The space between the two graphic card slots is too close to each other, putting in my Radeon 4850 already takes up a decent amount of space, doubt another card could fit for the crossfire. =(-Also No Free Shipping =(

Pros: -Boots incredibly fast.-Worked instantly with Windows 7.-Bios readily available from the Asrock Website, in case you want to be up-to-date.-The Mobo has a pretty design and simple to understand for setup.-eSata available.

Cons: Motherboard arrived DOA, I am fairly upset that despite good reviews that this board has had several DOAs according to previous reviews. I gave ASROCK a shot, but I ended up just like the other reviewers that got a DOA. It seems either New Egg has gotten a bad batch or Asrock has no quality control.

Pros: Lots of features

Cons: idk if its me being usta ASUS raid or if its my OS cdi would turn raid on... for all disk, should be just the ports you need raid withi figured the JBOD is to pass things thought the raid controller, still weirdi had 2 80 gig's that where in raid 0 on my last setup.boot to the vista disk ( its a corp disk, which is i think the issue )hdd screen i pick the driver ( from the cd, from a floppy copy, from a jumper, i even redownloaded and tried that copy of the driver )EVERY TIME, says no driver foundi say "B... GOOD SIR!"again might be my disk, so im not mad at the mobo,buuuutttt, the raid setup is goofie,should be turn raid on the ports you need raid on.

Pros: works, cheap, fastwith the CPU, GPU, RAM, it is a darn fast gaming comptuer
