First DOA, Second Died. Got less than a few weeks use on #2, dies. Similar reviews from other sites. I never overclocked the unit. I am an IT nerd and know what I am doing. This is not a case of user error. Working on warranty claim now.

|Just ordered a second ASRock 870 Extreme Board,
First time with ASRock motherboards and am extremely satisfied. First off loaded it up with a Phenom II X6 1100T, 16GB 1333 DDR3 memory, HD4670 Radeon graphics with 1GB DDR3, 1 TB hard drive and Windows 7 Ultimate. They all work great together. This computer now passmarks at 7099.5 without OC. Its a very fast computer with zero to .866 seconds wait time on heavy graphics software.
And one of the best features besides speed and graphics is the sleep mode. This motherboard can be put to sleep and everything shuts down all but the blinking blue led. Double click the mouse and it fires right back up. This beats shutting the computer off at night and then having to reboot in the morning. A great feature. Well pleased and highly recommend this purchase. A great motherboard for the money. Building my wife a new computer now and have ordered another ASRock 870 Extreme 3! They are excellent!

|Good MB for anyone who wants an AM3 board.,
Great features like CrossFireX, 4 DDR3 1866mhz RAM slots , USB3 and SATA 6g. Booted up on the first try with a Phenom II x4 955 and a 4gb RAM stick, been working since. The box looks a bit gaudy, and when opened you will find the motherboard in a standard anti-static bag… stapled shut. Not impressed there. The software included is great, though the OC tuner sometimes won’t recognize a fan (not an issue- you just can’t tweak the speed.) The only other issue is the IO plate doesn’t fit over the back so well, it seems to bow out a bit. Again, not really an issue. This has all the makings of a much much higher priced board. I will buy ASRock again.
