Firstly I am not a computer whizz who knows all the computer jargon, so bear this in mind with this review as I might not use technical terms for things!)
This is a great motherboard (so far anyway but I only had it running 2 days!)
I had an older AS-Rock motherboard but decided to upgrade to this as it had more up to date connections (USB 3.0, SATA 3.0 etc). I decided to go AS-Rock as I didnt have any problems with my previous AS-Rock Motherboard.
The Included CD includes a host of free AS-Rock applications to do things such as speed up your USB slots, boot your PC instantly.

Very good instruction manual telling you all the technical stuff, what is and isn't supported etc)

Only surprise I did get (but not a bad one/fault of design), is that this motherboard requires a PSU which has a 24pin 12 v ATX socket and a 8pin CPU 12 v socket rather than the 4 pin 12v socket I am used to from my previous motherboards. Motherboard still works using the 4 pin from my old PSU (with an Athlon II 3.0GHz quad core) but online forums strongly advise against doing this as it could cause your PC to crash if CPU demads too much power!

Motherboard comes with following connectivity:
2 x SATA 3, 6.0Gbps
6 x SATA 2 connectors
2 x USB 3.0
4 x USB 2.0
3 x USB Headers (for installing additional internal devices such as Card Readers/USB Sockets included on your PC Case etc)
1 x PCi Express Slot
2 x PCi Slots
4 x DDR 3 1866Mhz RAM Slots (supports DDR3 1866 (OC)/1600 (OC) /1333/1066/800).

theres also some other plugs (two short PCI something or others and and IDE connector (to relive the retro days of grey ribbons clogging up the inside of your PC Case!)

If you are looking for an affordable but good quality/good looking case to go with this, I recommend a Zalman Z9 Plus.

I have had this mainboard for two months and thought I would write a review. It has proven to be very easy to put together a updated machine (with an Althon II 640) using this as the basis, moving from XP to Win7 64. I really like the IES software which lowers the clock speed and with it the energy consumption which is really good when just browsing, watch TV or using office.

The only issue I have is that one of the PCI slots does not work so I have had to buy a PCIE card to replace my previous sound card, as I don't like the on board sound. However, this is a budget board and has all the connectors I need along with SATA3 and USB3 too (no crossfire as it's budget). It will be ideal for a few years and being AM3+ will allow easy CPU upgrades for the foreseeable future as AMD don't replace their sockets as frequently as Intel.

Overall quite pleased

I bought this product back in April expecting it to be good for the money, I've heard good things about AsRock in the past so decided to give them a try. One of the worst decisions I made. It died not to long after purchase and was unable to get a refund so I just got the product replaced thinking that the original one was just a faulty unit. I was wrong yet again when in August 2013 I had my second one fail on me. One recommendation. Don't buy this motherboard, Go for an Asus or Gigabyte board instead.
