Overall Review: If you are buying a K series CPU, you already plan to spend the extra for it, cause you know what it can do. Seriously, why buy a K series CPU and not OC it... l2cpu
Adapter

Pros: Works as described.
Cons: none.
Overall Review: L2R people, for real. Minus the DOA product some are getting, the others just dont know what to buy and act hastely to buy something. Dont leave a negative review because of your own ignorance, thats just bad taste.

MSI 790FX-GD70

Pros: Easy for your average Joe to get out of the box and start putting it together. I have not had any of the issue's other people are having, thing's are really smooth and flawless. Put a Phenom II x3 720 BE on this, came stock with bios version 1.4 , no trouble recognizing the CPU , slapped in a pair of Patriot Gamer Series ram ( 4GB ) AMD compliant ram, still worked. It auto clocked the memory to the right clock and speed and 1T timing.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: OC'd through the Bios , took it from 2.8ghz to 3.4ghz, major easy. ( Did not use OC Dial, can not comment on that ) Do not use M-Flash, every person looking at this board and MSI should know not to use this, if you simply go to the User to User MSI Forums, you can read up on thing's easily. Simple google search for the forums - type in * MSI User to User Forums , or just MSI Forums * ( Read and know before you buy ) Blue and Black with Pipe's, its uber.
