Asrock X470 Master SLI

I used this mobo in my first PC build from scratch. All worked pretty well. Easy BIOs update via asrock.com website. The mechanical drawing of the motherboard in the manual is a bit tiny and has some hard to see letters (grey on white)- so find your reading glasses before you start ;), further I needed a bit to figure out which slots would be the best for two 16 GB ddr4 ram modules, maybe asrock should give some examples in the manual. Overall an awesome mobo with tons of features.

I've been building Pc's since I was a child in the 90's. This is a terrible peice of hardware. I bought this as it stipulated ryzen zen 2 compatible, and it is. Barely, memory rated at 3600Mhz runs at 2133mhz and fails to boot at any faster. (I've tried three vendors). The screws don't fit any of my cases properly, also came with no screws (not an issue but still worthy of mention). Never used asrock kit before. Never again. Much better boards for the money. Avoid

Fantastic motherboard. Very good debug, as I had to use it due to faulty ram sticks

Great buy

The short version - great value, features, performance and outstanding stability.I got this motherboard from a high street shop as part of a PC upgrade. I was looking to replace my creaking 8 year old PC with either a new off the shelf PC, or new components for an upgrade, with reuse of case, power supply, video card & Blu-ray drive. I chose the spec of the PC I wanted from a large nationwide electrical retailer, but did not want to pay the £1249 they wanted. I went into a local PC shop with that spec and said what I wanted. He put together an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 32GB RAM and this motherboard for about 30% of the cost of the new PC. I got an SSD drive and an M2 drive from Amazon and the resultant computer has been excellent. It is certainly fast and pushes games around well, but the aspect I have been most impressed with, is the stability. 6 weeks of heavy use and no slow-downs, no crashes, nothing - just perfect performance. I had never used Asrock before, always favouring Asus previously, but the shop keeper told me they are all made with the same components these days and he uses this board because he never gets returns with it and they are very stable. It does come with utilities to overclock it, but I have not needed to do this, as it plays all the games I have at full settings on the default bios settings.

product is defective, will be contacting them shortly. After installation pc stays in boot loop due to dodgy (bios chip?).

Pretty solid motherboard for an mid/entry level build. Only problem is that I ran into a ton of issues with memory compatibility when first installing the board. Could not set ram to its advertised speed--luckily a bios update came along and fixed that for a short time. Now the board will not recognize anymore than 8gb of ddr4 regardless of dimm slot or brand of memory (tried with gskill trident, corsair lp, dominator plat, and some generic server ddr4 dimms). Board is dead for me after only a few months which is a shame considering the lack of stock on every e-tailer currently if you need a replacement.

It runs very stable and very well. The amount of features is outstanding. My only complaint is this: for everything that it comes with, and for what you pay for it.... why does it not come with basic hardware like motherboard screws and standoffs? It comes with SATA cables and SLI bridge (or is it called NVLINK bridge now?), wi-fi antennas, and I forgot what else. But no basic hardware?

Das Board wird mit den aktuellen Bios Updates geliefert, sodass hier sogar bereits ein Ryzen 3000 Ready Aufkleber vorhanden war.Die Leistung ist, in Anbetracht des relativ geringen Preises, perfekt und sogar ausreichend für einen aktuellen Ryzen 9 3950x was die Spannungsversorgung angeht.Die SpaWa sind sehr hochwertig und auch die verbauten Mosfets entsprechen voll meinen Ansprüchen.Für Hobby-Enthusiasten ist das Board also ausreichend dimensioniert.Für den Gelegenheitsanwender würde sicher auch ein günstigeres Board ausreichen, sofern man keinen Ryzen 9 damt betreiben will oder das letzte bisschen Leistung per OC rausholen möchte.

Bien

Très content de la carte. Rien à dire, le BIOS est configurable dans tous les sens. Très bon achat. Notez que si vous voulez y joindre un SSD Samsung 970 PRO en M2, il est nécessaire de l'insérer dans le second slot M2 (celui qui ne correspond pas au cache/cooler en métal).
