ASRock Socket AM3/AMD 785G/Hybrid CrossFireX/A&V&GbE/MATX Motherboard A785GM-LE

Been using this for 3 months as a backup for recording gameplay. I threw in a phenom 2 X4 8 gigs of ram and a gtx 470 this can steam gameplay at 720p 60fps if you beef it up enough. I also did a fewrenders on it and for the price i must say this moba is pretty good.

Too bad they don't sell good motherboard for AM2+ cpus anymore. So we are stuck with these lower standard quality motherboards. I've had a few bad experience with recent ASRock motherboards so they are not the best, but that's why they are cheaper. I bought it because they are cheaper and mostly because for some reason they have the better slot setup that I need it for at time of buying. Other boards didn't have the right slots and/or the right setup I need.Pros: It has a good standard amount of usb ports in the back, etc. It still support old IDE for those who still use old stuff. Everything good about it can be seen in the pictures so not much to say. It functions normally with Win 7.Cons: Built-in graphic is not the best. Can't even play Street Fighter 4 with good enough frame rates at low resolution of 800x600. Its only good if you have this built for standard internet surfing. But thats what a PCI-E is for. I put in my old 8800 GTX and its all good.Overall this is a decent motherboard if you just want to use old cpu and hardware with. You can upgrade it to newer product so its pretty good. They dont sell many decent old motherboard like this anymore so this one is pretty good. But price is high so think about it before you buy it. It might just be better to buy all newer hardwares instead of old ones.

This board was well worth the (approx.) $50 I paid for it. It arrived on time in near excellent condition. I had it up and running in about an hour, and was able to use almost everything that was attached to my old motherboard, except for 4 Gb. of memory. It also runs about 100 degrees cooler than my old board under heavy load.

Although relatively an old model motherboard, I needed this kind of specifications in order to add some more years of use to my AMD Athlon 64 processor, Kingston 4gb DDR2 ram modules, and 1gb ddr2 pci-e video card. Suffice to say that I am truly satisfied with the overall performance of this Asrock A785GM-LE motherboard.

I had purchased 2 chips on ebay thinking they would fit my old board. They didnt, and they were just taking up space until i found this board. It solved the issue i had, and i bought another to go with the other chip, or as a backup if need be.

By current standards it's not amazing, but it works, and does what I needed, which was to use an old AM2+ CPU I had laying around to run a home media server.
