Well just got done upgrading to this puppy. Will post some pics.

I added a few pics of my Eyefinity setup as I haven't posted any pics since I got it set up over the holidays.

Pretty happy with the new ASRock mobo, right out of the box was able to get my FX-8150 to run at 4.5 Ghz and run 4x4GB 1866 at its reated speed instead of the 1600 I was limited to on the 970 Extreme 3.

Looks pretty good.

Thanks "G" I wasn't an AMD fan until a few months ago. I guess the imperfections and crappiness of AMD are more fun to tinker with than Intels perfection.

This was a very depressing moment in history!!!

My first gaming computer was an AMD so they hold a special place for me. I've always thought they were more fun to tinker with, I still like to tinker with my Opteron 170.

Haha overclocking really is that easy when you're only looking for a 10% or lower overclock.

AMD holds a special place to me too. Using the lead trick to unlock the multi on a Duron was THE coolest thing for me way back in the day. My mind was so blown I had a chub for weeks. The problem for me is I can't see wasting money when it could go somewhere else in an Intel rig.
