Have you noticed that most new AM3+ boards are on the 970 chipset and have usb3.1 m.2 nvme support.... that chipset will run out of bandwidth but why use that? Because it's cheap...
Yea i know, but i think carbon wrap tends to look way worse than actual carbon fiber. It doesn't really look like carbon fiber but like a checkered grayscale pattern because the depth is missing.
Im with most when asking why build or buy this AM3 MOBO? Well ill tell you why i am buying this board. My gigabyte GA 970a mobo got toasted by a bad Hue+ controller. I will be building a Zen system but i also need a new board untill such time. LOVE the RGB header and m.2 support!
