1. Would this MOBO work with the i7 4790 and GTX 970? 2. How many fans can i use with this motherboard? Hopefully 4 if not any good Fan splitters?

Yeah, I am currently using this MOBO with my i7 4790k. It should work with the GTX 970, that's what I'm planning to upgrade to. Check out pcpartpicker.com, you select all your computer parts and it tells you if there are compatibility issues. I believe there are only 3 fan headers so you'd have to use a splitter, and I'm not so sure of any good ones. Sorry! Hope this helps.

Yes it would far as graphics card make sure you have high enough watts for power supply

I have that mobo. It works. Just change the clock speed to 1866 in the bios and this s*** will be blazing fast.

You should be able to fit 2 cards - I have the GTX770 in mine and have room to add a 2nd card. As for the Processor I run that particular processor on my board and love it. I am new to overclocking so I am still playing with it, but I love it. With that processor I highly reccomend a good CPU cooler as the stock cooler for that processor works, but sounds like a jet engine (even on 'idle') while doing so. I have the Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler in mine - if you get that cooler you will need to put the backplate on BEFORE putting the board in your tower. Good luck and happy gaming. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me and I will answer you as soon as I can

It appears to be an AMD, AM3+ socket motherboard and should handle this super fast processor just fine. I'm running mine on a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 motherboard and love it. Not only is it faster but it's speed comes with cooler running temps and lower power usage than older processors.

If you closely examine the motherboard photos, you will note it has 2 system fan headers. Being that it is mATX in size, you will be limited. If you want to have multiple fans running on your system, I would suggest you go with an ATX sized board, like this one: Gigabyte AMD FM2 A85X ATX Motherboard with Triple-Monitor support and Windows 8 Ready DDR3 1800 AMD - FM2 Motherboards GA-F2A85X-UP4It has at least 4 system fan headers on it.

it look like that cpu will work on this mobo even tho it not in the cpu support list&gt;&gt;&gt;http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme4/index.us.asp?cat=CPU &gt;&gt;there is this model cpu&gt;&gt;(HDT55TWFK6DGR &lt;&lt; cpu is rated at 95W TDP) (This cpu is rated 125 TDP &gt;&gt;HDT55TFBK6DGR 125W TDP, the reason your cpu is not in this list is because asrock didn't test it at the time this list was made any ways now on to the ram,memory support list&gt;&gt;http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme4/index.us.asp?cat=Memory, i dont see that memory module in the list either but that most likely it will work as well, because there is module with 4 gig on that list i have built 3 asrock computers and most of the cpu and memory that im' using is not on there support list either, if you need me to send you build spec on mine i will, short spec for my mobo AMD FX-8320 Eight-Core Processor @4200.15 MHz (17.5 * 240.01 MHz) mobo= ASRock 990FX Killer memory= G.Skill 24576 MB @1920 DDR3 Dual Channel GPU= EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (1378 MHz) 4095 MB (3542 MHz) OS= Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit CPU cooler noctua 140mm fan 6 tube http://valid.canardpc.com/3ki9vl &lt;&lt;&lt; this will show my build spec from cpuid web site

I can only comment on the Asus...The Gigabyte does have the tri fan setup and supposedly quiet and runs cool. For me I have a large plexiglass window and asthetics are important and didn't like the lattice on the side and the Asus worked with my current theme. The Asus over clocks to 1300mhz and 8000mhz on the vram raising the voltage up to 1.21v. Runs not over 81*C. Not sure what the Gigabyte card does. Although I did have to RMA the Asus card twice for no display and was not an easy process. I now have the Asus GTX 770 4GB.

Yes you can put a 2 fans in the top if your motherboard allows for it. My RAM almost touches one of the fans and the other fan spot is blocked by my CPU heatsink. There is also a spot for a fan in the back that blows directly on to the CPU. As far as the front goes, I'm almost positive you can put one behind the front panel but I've never tried to do that.

I agree with Caleb E. pcpartpicker will help you a ton when building a system. It shows no problems at all... and by the way.. I love this motherboard...

Do you have a pci express x16 2.0, 2.1, or 3.0 and a powersuply of more then 400w with either a 6 pin connector or 2 molex connectors? If so, then yes. ------------------ Under further reaserch of the bored you(hopfully) don't yet have I have to say is EXTREAM OVER KILL. that board runs 200 ish here on amazon and you only need all the stuff it has if your trying to run a server while edditing videos/ rendering them. this is a mid-range card an the motherboard you speak of is the low of the high. sooo you would be better of with the gigabyte 270x or up or a duel set up with this card. If you don't know about what I speak (since you don't appear to know much about compatibility ) I would suggest a cheaper first rig, and also something newer. getting a good bored is important but aim for a newer one. reaserch research a d research. and more research. YouTube helps a lot. I hope this impute was helpful, good luck with the build!

I have installed 3 different ATX motherboards in mine but had no problems at all doing so. I've installed an ASRock Fatal1ty Z67 Professional Gen3, an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 and, just last weekend, a Asus Maximus VII Hero. I had absolutely no issue installing any of these motherboards and I can assure you that you'll have no problem installing the GA-99FXA-UD3 in it. This chassis can easily fit standard ATX size motherboards. I don't think its rated for Extended ATX (EATX) motherboards though so stay away from those. The motherboard you've mentioned is a standard ATX so it will be fine. The only issue I had with this chassis is the power supply area gets a little tight when you have a massive power supply. I installed a Rosewill RBR1000-M 1000W power supply and although it does fit, I can't easily add or remove any of the modular power cables without pulling it out a few inches. If you go with a 700W or smaller power supply, you shouldn't have any issue at all unless its an oddly large one for that amount of watts.

I have the PC behind my monitor. I honestly can't tell you if we have 2 or 3. Anyone out there in Amazon land have quick access to the cover to count the fans? Sorry. So far no problems and cpu runs cool. I do take all precautions to always keep items away from top and side airvents.

The Motherboard supports two CPU Fans and three System Fans. This motherboard runs very well.

As long as it is AM3+ socket, u will be able to use it. And for what I know, the GA-970A-DS3P motherboard is socket AM3+. But I recommend buying a better motherboard, though.

This fan (as with most) come with the two pin Molex connector .... which connects directly to your motherboard. Most motherboards have at least two of these (one for the processor fan, and the other for a case fan). Not sure how many you plan to connect, but it seems to me that those two are sufficient. Of course, the fan will work with any 12v DC power (direction depending on which way you connect the two wires). How many do you plan to connect, and are you already using the TWO provided 12v connectors on your motherboard?

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.

Three that are included work plenty fine when I play league of legends for hours. Depends on the build too. If you're going for an expensive or overclocking I'd get more fans. Plenty nice for my a10 5800k with no extra graphics.
