Not A Very Reliable Choice Of A Motherboard For Your Dual Core Computer,
By
This review is from: ASRock 775i65G i865G Socket775 AGP DDR Motherboard with LAN/Sound (Personal Computers)
I bought the Revision 2 version of this motherboard that already has the bios 3.20 version flashed, that supports the Core 2 Duo 65 nm Conroe that runs at the bus speed of 1066 MHz. The processor that I purchased to use with this system is the 2.6 GHz, Pentium E 5300 which is a 45 nm Wolfdale. When I first fired up the computer, it only registered 1.2 GHz with no way of changing the speed in the bios setup. The problem with this was the processor is not supported with the existing bios. But at least it posts to allow for a bios update. In order to fully recognize this processor, a bios update is necessary to version 3.30 (dated December 1, 2009). Finally, Asrock offers it on its website. I have the link to this bios program on my website for anyone who wants to download it as well as to read my review about my my home built computer. Here is my computer review article. please copy and paste this URL to your browser. [...] Note: Since that wasn't allowed, try googling " peterdmar " instead. You can simply go to Asrock website to download this bios file if you wish.
Update August 16, 2009: After I modified my 430W Antec with the addition of the -5 V rail, the computer still does not post or boot with the better power supply. I've tested this on another computer and it works fine there. At this point, that wasn't the problem. The problem is that either this motherboard is very particular about power supplies or more likely it could be defective. the problem appears to be perhaps the Power Good control on the motherboard. Maybe the old cheaper power supply Power Good signal operates at a slightly higher voltage then the Antec one. Because of this, I'm stuck using the lesser power supply. Since I updated the bios, I voided the warranty and unable to return it. I may consider buying another identical one to replace it, or just simply use it as it is with this cheaper power supply. Update August 26, 2009: I've just purchased an identical motherboard and the result was the same. It will not post with the better Antec triple rail 430 W power supply. This definitely rules out a defective motherboard. It appears that I wasted my $30 for an extra motherboard. This motherboard is very picky on power supplies that it will operate. The power supply that I am presently using that works is the Sparkle Power Inc. model number FSP250-60ATV 250 W power supply. I've noticed on 3B Tech they have a bare-bones kit that uses that particular motherboard and the power supply options are the three Viotek models varying from from the 550 W to the 700 W models. Because of that, I assume those should work with this particular motherboard. At this point my best option if I should have problems with my present power supply, is to try one of those. Update August 27, 2009: I no longer recommend using this motherboard for this kind of upgrade. My second motherboard has failed, so I reinstall the first one and it functional again. The computer suffered the BSOD and then refuse to post or start up again. According to the failure code online, it appeared that the memory or RAM was the cause of the failure. So I disassemble everything from the failed motherboard and reassemble everything onto my first motherboard and then reinstall back into my case. Since everything works afterward, this seemed to indicate the motherboard was the culprit. It appeared possible that the memory controller on the Northbridge might have failed rather than the DDR RAM. I may considering (RMA) the bad motherboard back to the retailer to exchange for a good one. Since I paid $30 including shipping, I don't know how much it will cost for postage to return it. With the problems that I experienced, I don't think I would like to build another computer system using this motherboard in the future. I might as well just simply absorb the loss. This was a learning experience for me. I hope that the remaining motherboard will be reliable on the long run. Otherwise, after this upgrade the computer was extremely pleasant and enjoyable to use. Update December 13, 2009: With the new bios update from version 3.22 to version 3.30, the computer performance was improved somewhat. This is especially true when it comes to overclocking ability. The new bios allows more control on memory speed settings. I have my computer set for 200 MHz memory speed while the CPU speed is set to 250 MHz. With this setting, the CPU bus speed is at 250 MHz X 13 equaling 3.25 GHz while maintaining complete reliability. The memory speed is set at the default 200 MHz to maintain complete reliability. To do this, I had the memory set at 166 MHz instead of auto in the bios. By the time I overclock the CPU's bus speed to 250 MHz the memory would end up at 200 MHz which is back to the default non-overclocked speeds. Update February 9, 2010: Today I decided to put back the better quality Antec 430 W power supply that didn't work before with this motherboard. I assumed, that with the new bios update to version 3.3 it may work. I am happy to report that it does work fine after installation with this better power supply. The Antec Truepower Trio 430 W power supply is a much stable and more powerful one then the two inexpensive ones that I use on this system before. I guess it was problem with the bios all along the cause this pickiness when it comes to power supply. Also, I would like to add that the computer runs fine since the bios update to version 3.3. I was able to keep the overclocked setting at 3.25 GHz while maintaining complete stability with no BSOD or hanging. The way this computer is right now, the performance of this computer is almost equal to my other one which has the Core 2 Duo e8500 processor. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for the failed bios flash so please be sure to follow the instruction exactly.

Very good mobo for new processors and old components,

This review is from: ASRock 775i65G i865G Socket775 AGP DDR Motherboard with LAN/Sound (Personal Computers)
I installed a Pentium Dual E5200 processor on this mobo with ATI 3650 AGP graphics card. No problems so far. Package included i/o panel and a CD with drivers. Only drawback I notice is OS takes a little longer to boot up. I guess its because of UDMA 100. I would have rated 5 stars if it had UDMA 133

Works great for what it is.,
This review is from: ASRock 775i65G i865G Socket775 AGP DDR Motherboard with LAN/Sound (Personal Computers)
Alright, this board has gotten mixed reviews, to say the least, but I feel it is getting a worse rap than it deserves. If you are looking to build a fast system that allows you to use DDR RAM and an AGP Video Card, this is the board for you. I have owned this board for a year, and it has been fantastic. The catch is YOU MUST USE A PROCESSOR THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE BOARD! The other reviews on Amazon about this, are both from users that had 45nm Wolfdale CPUs (the e5XXX series). This board, as is clearly listed out on the AsRock website, is not compatible with these processors. They may work, but they will not work perfectly. I too was foolhardy enough to ignore the manufacturer, and initially tried to put an e5200 processor in mine. It worked okay, but like the other reviewers, I had trouble with slow boot times, and eventually, it would only boot about 1 out of 7 times I tried it. I remedied this, by purchasing 65nm Conroe CPU (an e2220 to be specific). One that is listed as being compatible on the AsRock website. Since then, I have had no problems with this board. So, as long as you follow the manufacturers advice and use compatible components, you can build yourself a cheap, fast, stable computer that will allow you to stretch the lifespan of your old DDR RAM and AGP video card.
Remember, don't be a hero, use a compatible processor, and be a happy customer. [...]
