Product ReviewsASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, Socket AM3, AMD (90-MIBBV5-G0EAY00Z) Motherboard

Worried at first

Had a heck of a time getting this thing to be stable. Suspected everything of going bad/wrong. Finally, thought it was MB, especially after all the complaints I read about it. Turned out to be a combination of things...namely Samsung 840 EVO ssd, trim, Linux and bios settings. Bios settings are critical on this board/chipset (set memory settings manually). Have another MB with this chipset and it is still flaky at times. It is an Asrock and it will not OC and remain stable. This MB unlocks my processor easily and is very stable. Memory must be chipset specific. I nearly sent this back, but kept at it instead and am glad I did. It is in this comp I am writing this from. Have not OCed (no need) this board, but have unlocked my Phenom processor. It is quite fast and now seems to be rock solid. Suspends and wakes with no issues. Linux (12.04.5) performs trim fine and absolutely no issues now. Also running Windows on this machine (4OS, 4 HDDs) with no issues. I build comps and would buy this board again.Read full review...

ASUS M4A89GTD PROUSB3 Mobo, Good Quality, Easy To Install & Maintain.

I was tasked with building a new computer for my wife. Her requirements were a quad core AMD processor, Windows 7 - 64 bit operating system with at least 8 gig of memory and the ability to overclock if/when she needed to. She also wanted SATA III (6gig), USB 3 and firewire support.

I chose this board since I had worked with several other ASUS boards in the past and always found them to be very well built, reliable and very easy for the end user to overclock them when they wanted to. This particular board also met the other requirements of firewire, USB 3, SATA III and eSATA support. Having the AM3 socket was a plus also.

One of the most important requirements which I haven't mentioned yet, was it had to be CHEAP. At least as low cost as possible.

This ASUS board retails from anywhere between $125 and $200 (at least at the time I got it) depending on where you looked. Getting it for $71 was a steal.

By upgrading the processor, memory, drives, etc., her system (supported by the ASUS M4A89GTD PROUSB3) will keep up with her needs far into the future.

I have built a lot of computers, many using ASUS Motherboards and have had only one ASUS board that was DOA and one other that I could not get to post. In each instance, either ASUSTek or the seller replaced the boards without any hassle. Everyone has a lemon slip through once in a while, but my experience has been such that I find far fewer lemons with ASUS boards than any other manufacturer.

I would recommend this board for anyone who wants a reasonably priced system that is easily expandable with new products and technologies as their needs change.Read full review...

Still a good motherboard.

I've built 3 computers using these m/b's with an AMD Phenom 4 core CPU. No problems with any of them on startup. Latest bios update was easy thanks to ASUS. Completely satisfied.

Great product for the money!

I bought this as a replacement for one with a damaged CPU socket (intermittent start) for a 6-core AMD. Damaged to the CPU socket resulted from replacing the CPU cooler when removing it.
The replacement was received in a timely manner. All the proper parts were included and installation went well. It has been reliable and running every day 8-20 hours per day since installation. I especially like a mother board that does not have UEFI and the ability to turn off Express Gate. Those features are another extream security risk (not fully realized yet) forced on manufactures by Microsoft.Read full review...

Great product

Have old 2011 PC with this motherboard which failed unexpectedly. Ordered this new motherboard on November 8, received the motherboard on November 20, installed next day and booted up. Windows 7 and MS Office both wanted new activation codes which I was able to obtain.
My computer is now up and running as it was prior to the motherboard failure.
Thank you for your product and very timely delivery to Alberta, CanadaRead full review...

Great older motherboard

It was a replacement for exact board I used in the original build. Worked as new. Only had to add the CR 2032 battery, and good to go. Great speed with unlocked AMD 965 BE at 3.4 Ghz and turbo to 3.9 ghz.
