For testing today we are going to use an AMD Athlon II X4 635 CPU and compare the results with the stock settings to the automatic 30% overclock. This boosts the CPU frequency from 2.9GHZ to 3.48GHz which should result in a decent improvement in performance.

Seems like a good board again from asrock. they dont have a wonderful name, but their latest products look to be a higher standard than earlier ones.
Doesnt seem to have any major flaws. PCB design looks good.
solid buy, not an asus or MSI product, but they are getting there 🙂
ASrock deliver these at good price points.
no point reviewing these things, you cant buy them anywhere, only in america. waste of time.
Very nice board, seems very good buy
id never buy an asrock board. they are cheap make.
This seems to be a good all round product with support for everything like USB 3 and sata 6gbps. only issue I have with asrock is availabiltiy which means ive never been able to try one.
My friend had an asrock board and it was pretty good, he bought it cause of local pricing here. its very good.
what is memory support like, I read a thread a while ago about a reviewer who couldnt get his memory to work with the board until they updated the bios
seems good to me guys thanks 🙂 ill order one later
Its a long way to find one of these. whats the memory support like, DDR3 up to what?
