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

I considered the board not working at first, until I realized that all 4 memory sticks had fallen off for me. The board itself is more than normal. I will add, after almost a week of use: the mother is sooo hot, very hot, the USB ports overheat, sometimes the bluetooth paired with the headphones crashes. The north bridge is just boiling and the smell of textolite is still present. All in all, I don't think it will last long.

I have been using it for 6 months now. I bought it for a budget build on the FX-8300 + GTX 960. No problems were found for six months (pah-pah-pah).

The only thing that works on this "mother" is the power-on contacts. Reboot and holding down the button does not show itself. I can’t tell you anything else, because this board doesn’t even start the BIOS.

It hasn’t been repaired in work for 3 years, the last bios didn’t bug, the back plate was really lost with the old case, I don’t advise it for an ordinary user, for an experienced user it will go for a budget assembly Got pros: Price, usb 3.0 and sata 3 connectors, 4 memory slots, 7.1 sound, installing any cooling around the socket does not interfere with anything Its cons: The bios is a little crooked, with fx8320 overclocking to 4500 MHz, I had to pretty much suffer the voltage up to 1.465v…

A great budget AM3+ socket motherboard with USB 3.0 support from a trusted manufacturer at a low price. Actually, if overclocking is not needed, then I see no reason not to take :) ate: There was a problem - USB is cut down if the WiFi adapter is connected to USB 2.0, although it is intended for it, I use it with USB 3.0 I also bought headphones, I wanted to set up headphones to work with speakers at the same time, but on this dumb sound card it is impossible to make simultaneous sound…

When I bought it, I didn’t understand the hardware yet and therefore completely trusted the seller, who actually assembled the computer for me from the fx6300, this mother and hd7800. I didn’t expect anything good from her, but I didn’t find anything bad either, she served faithfully for almost 4 years and there were no hints of a breakdown. Overall very happy with it

I work sys. admin for 11 years, I took this motherboard in a working car, under the AMD X8 FX-8320 3500MHz processor. Satisfied, did not lose. Good is when nothing bad is noticeable. Works great, no complaints. Just in case, I self-made installed a small cooler on the northbridge radiator. Well, cheap plastic has not yet pleased; at the very first installation of the video card, the part fixing it in the slot shamelessly broke (I guarantee that it was not the fault of crooked hands). Otherwise,

I took it under the FX-8350 turned out to be wrong, the power system does not hold the load and the processor starts trolling. But for systems with less hot stoves, everything is fine. Take it, you won't regret it. For 8350, I took MSI 970 GAMING for a month, normal flight =) Has some pros An excellent mother in principle . Everything is good and convenient with her without any complaints at all, even the bios in English, as many write to her "-", is understandable and simple, and who is…

OVERCLOCKING: overclocked my processor very easily. BUT GROWTH ONLY IN NUMBERS FOR SOMETHING! Or I don't see it. Before putting it in, I read that it gets very hot. I have nothing like this When the room is hot and after many hours of gaming the maximum temperature of the board is 48 degrees. Got pros: price, excellent bios, great potential for further upgrades. Got cons: board bends a lot. If the hands are not clumsy, then it is impossible to break something. no IDE connector. (I have a lot of

Pretty good mat. fee, unless of course you are lucky, and the marriage did not arrive. I have been using this baby for 4 years now, I am happy with the product.

The price for such a mother is normal, budget. I am satisfied with the purchase. Got pros: Good support for FX-8 core processors, there is an economy mode. Glukov did not notice in the work. Possible manual control: processor frequency, PCE-16 bus, fans (noise reduction) using the utility supplied with the motherboard (drivers). There are also tools available for overclocking the processor, etc., without getting into the BIOS. I saw a product more expensive, but of worse quality. Has cons: You…

A good motherboard, especially after sitting on the biostar TA-990fxe, of course, the auto-tuning of the cooler is not enough, but if you figure it out and set it up once, then everything is ok. Bios looks dumb, I don't know what people are talking about, but not directly critical of course. Its pros: Well customizable BIOS, good audio chip and internet chip, good cooling, there are cooling control programs. Works great with w10, well, that is. I'm talking about drivers. The design is not…

The system was assembled 4 years ago. On the motherboard is: fx-8320 processor 4 sticks of HyperX 8 GB RAM at 1866 graphics card GTX 750Ti 2 gig power supply FST - 500 watts toshiba hard drive 2 terabyte 7200 rpm spindle buffer 64 meters hard drive SSD from intel 240 gigs For my tasks - simple games, creating simple videos - more than enough. Some pros: 4 DDR3 slots of 8 gigs of strips can be inserted and get a total of 32 gigs keeps fx-8320 at standard frequencies without problems many USB…

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…

I saw comments where they say that the fx-6300 has BSODs and the fact that the north bridge is very hot - I have no problems with this, on the old version of the bios "1.40" and on the newest "1.80" fx-6300 works stably and the north bridge is strong does not heat up. Pros below: "High Density Glass Fabric PCB" construction and Dehumidifier - condensate is now not too bad. From the moment the computer was assembled, BSOD appeared only due to crooked drivers for the video card. RAM up to 2100…

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this MB works unstable with the FX-6300 processor from instance to instance. I'm not the only one having these problems. Even at stock frequencies, bsods are possible in absolutely any situation, it does not depend on the load on the CPU. Dancing with a tambourine and turbo boost did not give any result. Accordingly, the board does not hold any overclocking. The solution is to lower the frequency of the north bridge by 1 position. For such…

I’ve been using the board for half a year now paired with an FX4300 processor, in the process of work, USB WiFi modem dumps were noticed, suggesting that the problem could be in the power supply, I studied the power supply system of the USB ports with a multimeter, as it turned out they were all powered (!) From a weak standby source BP. I redid the usb 2 power supply by soldering the fuse, and using a soldered wire, I applied 5 volts directly from the power supply to the port, the modem…

I switched from phenom 975 be to fx8350 and immediately got out the main minus of the board - problems with power supply in the form of 4 + 1. if earlier this was enough, now with fx 8350 I get constant bsod due to lack of voltage for the processor even at the nominal frequency. Well, you should not forget about the hot north bridge. So if the processor is not top-end, enough is enough.
