We flashed the BIOS from a pre-release to version 1.0 on their website which fixed a few problems we had and we recommend you flash your board as well to the latest BIOS on their website. The BIOS was quite flexible for a board of it's type allowing us to adjust the CPU multiplier, voltages for the chipsets and processor, the HT bus, and much more. As mentioned earlier overclocking on the board was quite easy and we achieved a respectable overclock with it.

As with the 780 ASRock Wi-Fi was a snap and worked excellently. Simply screw on the module to the header, install drivers, and find your access point and you're off. As a bonus you can also use your computer as an access point if you want. Our connection was good and we never experienced any drop in performance. We do tend to like the idea of onboard Wi-Fi over 2 Gigabit ports but that is a personal preference. ASRock's software for their 802.11g card is quite easy to use.

Software included was ASRock's OC Tuner which worked well enough adjusting settings in the BIOS but we feel that using the BIOS usually yields better results and is more reliable. Their intelligent energy saver was also included which requires AMD's Cool 'n Quiet to be enabled.
 

Let's move onto performance.
