ASRock M3A780GXH/128M Motherboard Review

ASRock has released a series of boards based on AMD's AM3 socket and here today is one of their first AM3 motherboards, the M3A780GXH/128M. Coupling AMD's 780G chipset with integrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics and the SB710 southbridge, this $89.99 motherboard strives to cover lots of ground with its IGP configuration and three PCIe slots supporting CrossFireX.

Excellent review. This seems to be an excellent motherboard for the price, if you can live with that all-over-the-place BIOS. Is it microATX or ATX?
Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.2Ghz @ 1.16V (CPU-Z + LinX)
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H F14 BIOS
ASUS GTX 460 768MB @ 800/1950
Kingston HyperX DDR3 8GB @ DDR-1333
Corsair AX750
Crucial M4 128GB
Western Digital Black 1TB
Cooler Master Hyper 212+ EVO
BenQ E2420HD

I would assume ATX seeing that it has at least 3 PCI-Express slots. :lol:

ATX. ASRock has some AM2+ motherboards that are microATX, they could easily chop this up into a mATX format, keep the same price tag, and add a mosfet heatsink to make me happy. Was a great cheap board to use, it'll be replacing my AM2+ motherboard as I upgrade to strictly DDR3 inhouse. Now to review some cheap DDR3 :lol:
