Review on ASRock 970 PRO3 R2.0 ATX AMD AM3+ Motherboard with DDR3 1600 Support by Abhey Abhi ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nightmarish quality and complete inconsistency with the description.

The first Mat board died after 1 year of operation, taking a video card with it to the other world! (Textolite was swollen in the area of ​​​​РI-E, then short circuit). During the year of use with it there were the following problems: one). The impossibility of overclocking the processor (after each reboot, overclocking was reset to 0. 2) Hong Konganent BSODs on any firmware, except native (1.4). Tried both 1.5 and 1.6 and 1.8 3) It happened that the computer did not turn off in any way, only with a plug from the outlet. 4) Sometimes it didn’t turn on at all (the valves are spinning, the hard drive is in operation and nothing (even the BIOS can’t be entered) - I had to constantly open the case and reset the BIOS to factory settings with a jumper - They sent a new motherboard under warranty on 07/26/2022 and on 05/13/2022 it burned out again (during operation, the computer simply turned off and started starting from the 10th time, and after the start, the inevitable BSOD). The quality is "excellent". The AMD FX 8320 processor worked at low frequencies of 3000 Hz with a voltage of 1.1V (it was specially reduced in order to keep the motherboard longer (standard values ​​​​4000 Hz and a voltage of 1.5V), the north bridge was constantly blown and did not overheat more than 40 degrees). One thanks that this time the motherboard decided to die alone =)
