Good match for the AMD 955 Black

The overclocking features of the Phenom II x4 955 BE are a good match for this board. I do seem to have more hiccups and crashes in Win7 than my old rig, but that could just be timing. Win8Ent has had zero problems. A joy.

Had problems booting up this board

I purchased a new power supply,new memory and new chip for this board but it would not boot up. I have started many motherboards over the past years but I had problems with this one. The LED-D1 would not come on showing that there was a VGA Error. I changed to another Video board but still no boot up. I am reserving my opinion about the board until this can be resolved.

HORRIBLE BOARD

This board did not work the day i took it out of the box. I tried 2 different sets of memory 2 different video cards. It was dead out of the box. I call tech support, FYI BIOSTAR has the worse tech support EVER!, low quality board low quality customer care for their customers. Biostar can learn a lot from these guys in customer care.

Good board for price

My mistake, board will not work without memory added, I only had DDR2 at house so board beeped at me until I put in DDR3 memory. Easy set up manual clear and much better then others I built. For the price one of the best boards I have worked with in the 5 years of building them.

Awesome MoBo

I got this for a computer build. I used a Dual Core 3.1 GHz CPU with it and with the BIOS settings it easily overclocked to 3.5 GHz. It fit perfectly in the Mid-Tower case that I bought. The only downside for me is that the four pin power connection is on the top of the board but my PSU mounts on the bottom. I didn't take any stars off for that because that's the way most of them are. As for what one of the other reviewers said, there are 2 PCI-E x16 ports on this board, not just one.
