Bunch of reviews online, and I bought one the other week to replace my ole Asus m4a79xtd Evo that I was passing on to another with it's 955BE, and stuck a 1090T on it with 16gig of Gskill, a 7850 and a Kuhler 620, 4gz with a multiplier bump was cake, been rock stable and everything works but I've found a few niggles.
Namely I'm not fond of how they handled the 4 wire and 3 wire fan headers, it's in an Antec 1100 and I have a sort of workaround fan setup, Asrock's monitoring/overclocking software blows about as much as one would expect and not a single one of the usual hardware monitoring programs manages to find every temp and fan on it.
Other than that I really can't complain so far.

Was just curious of others experience. I searched and didn't find much on the 9.

If it makes you feel any better, this is the board I want to purchase when / if I get a 990FX platform build. I don't own one currently, though.

Hey, that's something. :)

Note the USB3 drivers are crap and the fan management is iffy the way Asrock implemented it depending on ones fan setup.

Otherwise it seems pretty much fine.
