    A great little motherboard

    Power in a small package I was looking for an upgrade for a nice aging HP pavilion a720n 32bit end life desktop. Well this Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard seemed to be the fit for this pc sporting a 3.0 usb What no fire wire ah well never used anyhow. Has a am 3 PLUS! Socket excepting most AMD multi core processors am3 family for sure DDR 3 Ram. This board a 500 watt PSU laying around some spare ram and an extra AMD Quad core CPU. Put this thing together and presto a Supercharged Sleeper . Away it ran no problem .What do you know works perfect! Who knows maybe it plays Possum for some folks but not for me ran right out the box if I had to chase it I don't think I could catch it . Its fast enough. Great upgrade for that well loved older pc or even a new build . Asus is still a big hit ...

  • Excellent performance

    PROS: This motherboard is full of features and abilities. It gives the PC enthusiasts the ability to Over Clock an unlocked processor, like the AMD FX-4300 3.8 GHz Quad-core processor, safely. No Jumper configuration needed. The motherboard has the ability to control the Speed of the Processor from 1.5 GHz for the light loads to 4 GHz for the heavy loads and adjusts the FSB and RAM accordingly. BIOS is simple to use and configure the hardware. CONS: ASUS no longer supports the motherboard as of 2014. The motherboard supports Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. However, the software (ie. AI Suite) supplied with the motherboard does not work on Windows 8 and above. There haven't been any problems with the drivers working on Windows.

  • Terrific Business Use Motherboard

    Terrific general business use motherboard. the i3 4 CPU chip is terrific and fast enough for me for general web viewing, and is NOT a gaming CPU chip! I coupled this motherboard with a fast SSD system disk containing Win 10 and love it. I suspect I'll get a decade or so of dependable use out of it. I am a happy camper with this MB. :-)

  • Good gaming setup!

    The combo provided worked excellent! The FX 8320e is fast enough to run any game I need to including Fallout 4. 4gb of ram won't get the job done, but the motherboard has 4 memory slots and adding the 8gb I already had from my old system boosted this setup to just what I needed. I couldn't buy a comparable system as cheaply as I could build one with this combo pack, and it's all brand new. Add some more ram and a high end video card to this setup and it will do pretty much anything you need it to.

  • Budget Hackintosh

    If you can live with Sata2 (3GB/sec) storage, no m.2 and maybe no Handoff & Continuity (w/o specialty WiFi in the x1 slot) this is a really nice Mac Pro equivalent. Not a good fit for AAA games. But a GT 710 2gb graphics card powers 2K and dual monitored at 1k each. Nice!
