Fastest board for AMD chips for its day, its AM3 era tech, peaked around 2015 off memory.
Absolutely awesome board for its day. Ive built more Pcs than I have hair on my head, and no Im not bald ! Most of the timei ts Sabertooth for this era, but these ROG boards are just that bit better. Great motherboard for diagnostic's. It will tell you everything, good and bad about your PC. Very easy to instal and use, if you simply want THE best of this era for an AMD chip, the ROG is the ONLY board to buy, the Sabertooths are just as fast CPU to RAM but there is just so much more to ROG boards. You can not know how good they really are until you try one for yourself.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
