Great Budget AM3+ Board
Pros: Excellent 4+1 VRM, Good BIOS
Cons: None for the price point
Great fully featured board.
Running FX-4100 in mine at the moment, 4.6Ghz 1.465v 24/7 stable.
The UEFI BIOS is easy to navigate and use, and handles VRM over-current / over-heat gracefully.
Had a hard time getting an overclock that would boot every time, but this may be due to my unlocked GTX465. It gave me similar issues with another, older, board.
I don't have an x6 or higher end FX to test in it, but I suspect that it would be able to achieve decent overclocks on either. Maybe not record breaking, but it seems to be miles ahead of most other products in this price bracket. The VRM is heatsinked, where the GA-970A-D3 has bare mosfets.
