It's been running perfectly for over 3 months in my build. I even upgraded my CPU a month ago to an AMD FX-6300, and my performance is much better than the older AM3 quad-core I had in it originally. The only reason you see so many negative reviews are people who either don't know what they are doing, or are upset at what they purchased. I can tell you from my own personal experience, being in the computer business and a hobbyist for over 30 years that this motherboard and most of the Gigabyte boards are high quality and very reliable. Hope this helps you decide.

I have had this for a year now with sapphire radeon hd6670 and amd phenom ii x4 and no probs. Dose all the normal stuff and runs guild wars 2 really well.

Unfortunately I don't know. This particular mobo came DOA and I ended up going with an ASUS.

I've had absolutely no problems with this motherboard. I use it for streaming in 1080p for hours a day. Just make sure you install the drivers from the maker's website before use!For more video compression and audio editing, this thing is perfectly fine. Not exactly a powerhouse, but it doesn't stutter.

It is a good motherboard for gaming and streaming videos. I mostly do streaming, but it also depends on the processor (I use an AMD A10), with 8 Gb of RAM DDR3, and also a Radeon 6670. So, it is pretty decent performance, but I think I would look for more muscle to do intense gaming.

Yes, this memory ram Corasir is awesome in this motherboard. Is special for games because has a internal cooler for to refresh. Very good friend :)

Yes it will function with that motherboard. I can't tell you if it will function with your CPU, graphics card, or peripherals though unless I know what they are.

This is not accurate. I purchased this motherboard new from Newegg for around $220 late last year. Listing that price is definitely a mistake. I believe on other sites too the board is discontinued. It would be best to look into upgrading to the Z87 chipset and CPU than to consider spending on this board.

Although I got this motherboard a while ago, I still haven't finished assembly (the instructions are hard to follow). The motherboard can hold 4 RAM cards and one gpu and seems fairly organized. I have no idea about it's gaming capabilities but that is why I got it so I may be able to tell you soon!

Should be fine with your CPU - be careful with overclocking though, if you intend to do that. Otherwise, it's a fine motherboard and hasn't given me any issues.

Hi Watch Man, Can you restate your question so it can be answered properly? I have used the seller several times now and they don't sell what will not work as advertised or stated. If your motherboard and memory are designed for this CPU it will work very well indeed. There is only one level of increased performance 4 core Intel "socket 775 chip" and that one costs another $100. I am perfectly happy with this seller and the Intel 9550 CPU! Also since this seller is selling a refurbished chip your cost is about 1/4 of new; add that to the unconditional guarantee and you can't go wrong. I would never have been able to buy the 9550 new for $550! Hi Watch Man, Can you restate your question so it can be answered properly?

It works flawlessly. However motherboard design is little quirky still I love it.Also fx 4350 works without any problems on this mother board.

Will it work? Yes. Perfectly fine? No. Why will it work? Because of Asrock's page for that motherboard which says Supports FSB1333/1066/800/533 MHz CPUs Supports Dual Channel DDR3 1333(OC) . Now for the not so perfect. First lets cover OC. I don't know your level of experience so I I have to cover the basics too. OC stands for over-clock. The overclock of those memory modules is done in your BIOS(setup) when you first turn on the computer . You can navigate there with Delete(usually) or F2. They will otherwise run @ 1066MHz because the Amazon page says F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL. It's a simple variable change in your BIOS. Nothing challenging. Will you get the full 8GB? Absolutely not. A 32bit Win 7 can handle a maximum of about 3.5GB but when I used these babies in my beast of a computer, BEFORE I upgraded to a 64bit OS my computer could only utilize 2GB. Your experience will vary, 8GB for for almost $80??? I spent under $60. You can upgrade to a more modern 64bit OS and the computer will automatically use the rest of the ram but you may need to adjust your memory speeds again after you upgrade or install to a more appropriate version. There are only 2 DIMM slots so no worries with installation issues.

Yes it will work for sure. I would recommend this Motherboard i made one for my brother and it works very well.

It's not so much an issue with the CPU, I think what you meant to ask is will it work with your motherboard.

I had help with building our gaming PC and actually found a good motherboard for it on tiger direct. But as they say below make sure they are compatible. It all depends on what exactly you are looking for performance wise. My son is very happy with it.

Yes. Pretty much every motherboard built in the last 2 or 3 years does. This one works very well.

Mine works flawlessly!!! I have no complains at all. Good product for good price. Half of those 22 bad reviews are probably other sellers or guys who bought the wrong memory modules.

Denpends on the motherboard and the way you mount the heatsink and fans.. if your going for 16GB ram that is. If is just 8gb it should work without much of a problem

Though I have Never Personally used an MSI, im somewhat confident that as long as it is AM3+, it should work. though i would take the time to read the specs and reviews.
