ASRock S-Series G31M-GS MB Introduction

[crackkn]

I ordered this badboy

[tetracatredoblehp]

i install one yesterday

[cesarsony124]

This Mobo Is Nice, I Overclocked A Intel Pentium D From 2.40 GHz To 2.80 (I Tried To Make It At 3.00 GHz But After A While It Would Reboot) Great Motherboard If You Dont Want To Spend Over 50 Bucks

[Zolega89]

does this mobo have problems with the q9000 series?

[LittleJohnEnterprise]

I wanted to wiew the rewiew of the board ex unboxing not software

[LockerzInformant]

I have the same one

[WackoX1337]

Dude this videa cracks me up, i mean 'overcocking'

[loquendojorge01]

capullos ami no me da problema alguno y si se puede hacer oc pero no tan exagerado komo kieren hacer otros frikis. ai ke ser prudentes y no tan ansiosos.

es una buena MB. sobre todo para lo ke kieras usarlo. para juegos esta muy bien, pero un oc exesivo te la puedes cargar. si kieres aser oc komprate otra placa ke soporte un oc extremo.

[ozpc123]

lol i tried oc ing a q9300 quad but when i put it to manul the fsb is already at 333 and i can only go up to 340fsb, over that it will hang. Is there a voltage control option, i guess not cause i looked every where bios + oc tuner. if someone knows other wise . let me know ... thanks!

[thefearlesstiger]

after a year this mobo is garbage. Right now, my problem with it is that its giving to my CPU too much voltage @ stock speeds never overclocked (Pentium Dual Core E2180). It should be about 1.21 but its 1.3 now and I cant run anything without throttle. Furthermore, if I shutdown right now, I'll be lucky it POST.

If not for these problems, this is a real good mobo that saves power but not a true OC mobo.

[razwanzr1]

PC reboots wend i exchange frequency intel celeron e1500

[z0neLT]

This motherboard is pieco of shit. I used it for 6 months and it burnt a week ago by trying to overclock. I hope my gts 250 is not burnt with it.....

[Gunymp3]

Unlucky :) .I got it and don't have any problems with it.

[sanignaciocity]

Estas motherboard, NO son ni inteligentes, ni simples de usar, mucho menos estables, se apagan cuando les da la gana

[jemp12]

@sanignaciocity aja... Dicen que las cosas se parecen a su dueño...

[sanignaciocity]

@jemp12

es cierto, en especial cuando se las compra y despues no te sirven para nada

[jomtronic]

si usas fuentes piratas y no usas ups no digo se apagan se queman osea aprende a cuidar

[jerwinrocks]

i got the G31M-S R2.0 i never thought it would be this cool

[ultimatepowerpoint]

I'm not going to OC, but is this a good motherboard for normal use with a Pentium 4 HT at 3 GhZ and 2 GB RAM

( DDR 2 ) ?

[MrGilly56]

can someone give me some advice .. emailed as rockbut they told me to look in FAQ .. in device manager multi media audio controller has a yellow ? with an exlamation mark.. i cant finf the driver for this (G31M-GS MB ) and dont have the support cd with drivers and utilities ,, im without sound .. any help would be appricated ..

[WackoX1337]

Go to google and type ''asrock g31m-gs'' and select the first result..

Is that so hard?

[MrGilly56]

oi dick brain dont get smart .. i sorted my problem out and it was a problem with the motherboard. i did go to there site .i DO know how to use google by the way ... gota bit of a clever cunt in the house

aint we,,??? dick

brain

[metaspherz]

MrGilly56, if you still have the mobo audio problem, did you buy a pci soundcard? If not, might I suggest the $20 Diamond EX5.1. It's only 16-bit but it has terrific sound quality and it's soundblaster compatible. It has a 10 band EQ with lots of presets and special effects to fit any room. It also has audio editing software. EX and DTS formats. Good luck. You can always buy a better card of course but I've installed the Diamond card for many years for terrific sound quality.

[WackoX1337]

Yes it supports 8gb DDR2 6400 Ram, i've got this motherboard ^^

[hutley405]

my computers got a asrock g31m-gs motherboard and iv got a intel dual core cpu which is oc to 3ghz i have no idea if thats safe for the cpu im sorta ew but it seems to be ok (when i got on the the oc tuner the cpu overclocking meter is allmost at maximum) but my comp seems to be running good

[sudao81]

This motherboard can support 8gb of ram ??? because the most board's with Intel G31 supports only 4gb !!! someone help me

[underheater]

yes it is...in the manual say it

[sudao81]

thanks

[underheater]

youre welcome man!!!

bless!!

[metaspherz]

OC problems? Blame yourself NOT ASRock!

I've built over 200 systems. 20 w/ASRock (32bit & 64bit XP & Vista--DDR2 & DDR3). Mostly with Q6600's, e8400's, e8600's, Q9450's & Q9550's w/ASRock mobos (mostly P45TurboTwins2000's for the 45nm's because it's the best bang for the buck). They easily OC smooth as silk & rock solid if done correctly. Newbs note: LEARN how to OC! GET the voltages correct & there's absolutely no problem. Run a stability utility too. Ultra cooling means higher stable GHz!

[MrGilly56]

OC problems? Blame yourself NOT ASRock?? they are fucking useless !!

[metaspherz]

My personal ASR mobo overclocks just fine. Stable and rock solid. What's your beef? I just built 25 ASR mobo PC's for several local businesses and didn't have a single problem. But all manufacturers have known problems now and then. No brand is without failures. 21 years of building PCs has taught me that truth. I stopped using MSI and Abit because of their issues, besides they are overpriced. ASR prices their boards just right.

[metaspherz]

It's NOT the mobo it's the dumbo!

[brokkenarrow3]

hi guys asrocks sucks!! believe me i waited a whole year to build a quadcore machine and bought a q6600+ asrock 4core-1600-glan.and i every time i overclock it the system crashes i tried both xp and vista but same result so in my opinion go 4 asus rather than asrock n besides the prices r the same.

[maxnanabas09]

im also experiencing it with my E4500+Conroe 1333-d667 asrock im planning to buy a better Gigabyte g31-es2l

[natspunk2004]

yah ASRock ROCKS!! this motherboard is excellent for budgeting gaming rig with unique technology and best capability i'm getting this Mobo next week with HD 4870 on it xD

[Cops12]

WARNING Don't buy this product. You can't overclock it. You can't change Vcore Voltage! So the idiots created an overclocking tool for a product that you can't overclock? Never buy asrock products. Cheating customers

[gman4141007]

i have that mother board very good

[silberlichtEU]

This is almost fraud! I bought this mainboard because I thought it's cheap and nice for overclocking. But what they don't mention is, that you can't even change the CPU VCore with this mainbaord (not in bios and not in the oc-tuner).

So you can of course change the fsb to have highly clocked cpus, but they're instable and if you start a programm which uses lots of cpu power, your system crashes.

[nemesiscreek]

Really good work, i have a Asrock of a low sector, and i never have problems with my overclock.

[drmac73]

congratulations for all who won and good luck for all in the coming events

[Intidark]

I think most q q an excellent product as those of ASROCK is a very important service and that ASROCK RMA is excellent, very fast and gives todoas RMA facility for a safe and smooth. 1 years ago I had an RMA with ASROCK and behaved excellent, very happy with the service they gave me, ASROCK GOOD ... That is why apart from the quality of their motherboard and all the technology I am sure that after-sales service is the best: D

[3xdan]

This mothebord and an E5200 are best-buy.

[cipiloi]

This motherboard is a winner for low-budget PC's or Office PC's, for somebody who will use it as office Pc you have everything you need right there, you can upgrade it if you want with a stand-alone video card and so you get a great home theater platform. All around good performance and upgradebility makes this a very good choice for a large number of possible configurations. If Intel keeps it's promise to deliver better drivers for onboard video you it will be even e better choice.

[drmac73]

with this board i think i can get alot from my a little bit components , and still save an extra amount for next to come Asrock surprises

[Baba1hit]

Wow yet again Im impressed over Asrock.... anny componey willing to post videos on you tube about there boards is petty cool.... Im defiantly going to look into them more

[youjovem]

outstanding overclock ability for a motherboard with an entry-model chipset! its certainly one of the best choices for an intel based HTPC, and IES and extra ESD features are just welcome because they just add some extra value and quality

[drmac73]

i can be sure after watching this video that when i get ASRock S-Series G31M-GS mobo i will get a smart, simple and stable monster solution that can be easily afforded and that will save me alot over time

[3xdan]

Yes, in deed Asrock have the best prices for the low sector and also for the midhrange sector, even though some mothebords of Asrock have the quality of high-end sector.

[OngLing55]

Amazing

Sacrification

Runs

Out

Creative

Kingdom

there you go asrock!we have more and more advanced mother boards coming out from asrock and asrock is really bulding its kingdom man!im so proud of you...a sincere company will always have faithful supporters!

imagine my 12 year old boy keeps repeating the video again and again and as a result,asking me loads of questions...i had no choice but to watch with him repeatedly to answer all his questions.

good job and kudos asrock!

[drmac73]

when think of G31 chipset and see what Asrock is presenting on the G31M-GS mobo , i find it the right choice among multiple others ,so important features and plenty of it , at affordable price with the good reputation of Asrock support , it is the wise choice

[3xdan]

This MB with all it's features, with a good overcloking potential seems to be the best MB in low-budget sector motheboards.

[Birmzboy]

good video

[drmac73]

fsb support range from 533 to 1600 overclockers joy,easy overclocking for all through octuner, and esd with prolongation of ur components life duration, and 38%power saving through ies which means money saving for the next upgrade :), and on top it carries Asrock name which means reliability ,durability and support , a sweet board :)

[zhongweichu]

3、相对于一些小厂或者通路商的主板，它们无论研发和售后服务都­跟不上，一旦华擎的售后维修体系完善，消费者真正就实现了花一块­主板的钱，拥有了三年甚至更长的良好使用享受。

[zhongweichu]

这样有几个好处：1、当使用时间累积到一定程度时，节省的电费会­抵消部分或全部的主板购买费用，主板就相当于打折或降价甚至免费­了。2、节能的时候功耗也减少，发热量也减少，对延长电脑的使用­寿命有帮助，相当于只花一台电脑的钱，拥有了相当于两三台电脑的­寿命。

[zhongweichu]

既有超频功能，又有节能功能，研发内功非常深厚。对于广大用户来­说，超频功能用得不多，而节能功能却非常有用，正如视频中所说，­主板相当于免费了。

[MathayusMiklini]

I haven't heard about asrock till some time ago, and now that my old motherboard (lasted for 5+years )died, a friend told me to check out asrock stuff.

[drmac73]

the draw machine looked to america , europe and asia first time , would africa and latin america be lucky this time :)

[shredchris]

My new PC workstation is based around an Asrock Mobo, as was the previous one and the one before that... being faithful to a brand shows one thing : they deliver the goods !

[lavakille]

AsRock made one of the best board right here! It's good for gaming enthusiasts and also great for OC as well. I think on my next PC upgrade, I'll consider buying a AsRock board instead of a Asus or Gigabyte board. AsRock for the win!

[lambdadryver]

This MB, being a best-choice for OC,at the best price out there...deserves one word: "EXCELENT". Finally, ASRock did a MB that's perfect for a gaming-extreme-enthusiast, that has unmatched power saving abilities.

[celmz]

Looks good.

Actually, i'm using asrock for couple of years. No complains.

[direk666]

Great! Cant wait to have one of this. I have a internet cafe shop and all of my mobo's are made by ASROCK. Thats why Asrock is always my first choice they are innovative, cheap, and everything you want in a board is there. Great Job! Keep on the Good Work!

[drmac73]

Asrock think of all items and collect them in one board and present it to fans with simplicity , nice job

[cgfrutos]

Very Good! Asrock is the brand of my first motherboard and met all my expectations and I'm very consistent with the results

[strengthwizard]

Now a thnking about buying a new pc and i wanna build it up... so i think this series could be a good choice for office and home entertrainment i hope it's also cheap because i dont have too much money...

[Anactoraaron]

Not only is the 70% overclock impressive, but combine that with the IES and stability and that is one amazing system! Imagine this board with a 70% overclock and idling using less power than another board at stock CPU speeds!

[kwekmiester]

One of the best mobo manufacturers out there, don't be fooled by their cheap price. I had owned multiple Asrock mobo's and build systems using their mobos and I can say that Asrock mobo's are one of the most durable, solid and feature-rich motherboards as of now.

[viktorkoichew]

rivanvx, yes and the's why i really want this MB!!!

[rivanvx]

This 70% overclock is really impressive!

[mansaca]

Here i use asrock since models ge-pro and the last model 775vm800, pretty damn solid.

Sorry the bad english

[vidarvega]

Great motherboard. Nice to have so many features on the board, I really want that board to be my fifth computer. I need one to the living room :)

[drmac73]

what a board to upgrade from p4 into c2d at your pocket expenses with stable performance and happy electricity bills

[photosyn]

Just maybe with the Intelligent Energy Saver the little wife will let me leave the pc all the time..

[gbruyn]

I've used ASROCK motherboards for a couple of years now. I even recondmend them to friends who are looking to upgrade their systems. For the money, you cannot beat their value and performance!

[3xdan]

Asrock have done solid and cheap performance for low entry segment of market. But with al these features: FSB 1600, FSB 533, Supports Smart BIOS, ASRock OC Tuner, Intelligent Energy Saver, Extra ESD Protection this MB,G31M-GS appears to be the best choice at it's price range.

[Hattiro]

Very nice for an G31 :)

[swapnilhra]

hey..

i was using ASrock from last 2 years..

and it is fine..

enjoying..it is for gre8 performance of games..

i played many games on Asrock MB with minimum systym requirements..

it is gre8 experience....

[atiqueshaheenbaber]

Asrock is worlds best mainboards of computers because i am currently using your mainboard and it is working very well.Here in city karachi electricity is not working properly but your mainboard working i am using since last 3 years many times happen suddenly electric off since last 3 years some times voltage get up n down but it is still working.High quality mainboard. well my mainboard is P4I4 now your all new mainboards are more in high quality like i saw in video of series G31M

[joribe01]

Now that's innovation from AsRock, how else would they surpass Intel's own specs?

Simple OC and ESD protection make it ideal for the fiddler, like me...

[willyeckerslike]

All my motherboards have been ASRock brand. I am always amazed at how they can make their mobos cheaper than other brands whilst not skipping on features.

[drmac73]

A good surprise from Asrock who always think of the low budget users with the high standards requirment and dreams , which in turns help technology promotion and better world for all

[drlarsen77]

Wow, this is amazing! My friend asked me to help him build a new computer and this is the motherboard I will be using in it.

[kamikazetrance]

Excellent opportunity for fans of the OC with little money ... eh is the best we saw in price / performance ... pc ideal for office. asrock, innovation of the future in computers today

[vrust1988]

Having that sort of overclock ability on a board with decent integrated video is definately interesting. Especially for users who do not demand performance but use an OS like vista with vista aero or would like an inexpensive htpc this is definitely on the right track.

[3xdan]

Unfortunately i don't now the price of this MB but from what i can see this MB is the cheap good overcloking MB,unique in his series with FSB 1600 and other great features like :Supports Smart BIOS, ASRock OC Tuner, Intelligent Energy Saver, Extra ESD Protection

So this MB has features like a high end MB, even though that is a low budget one.

So this MB it vill be the best choice at it's price !

[yaker08]

I need that one,because i want to chang the MB.

wowo!

[ChickenParm152]

awesome mobo great stability

[omsdelhi]

ASRock G31M-GS MB is High FSB to use,power saver,easy to overclock & use. ASRock G31M-GS MB is a full MM support it have onboard video & 5.1 CH HD Audio you have more fun. In addition,this is cheaper than other MB if you can get more from ASRock G31M-GS MB. Why you pay more for other brands? Which are not upto the mark? I am also using ASRock 775Dual-915GL MB its also great ASRock MB than other brands available in market. I am looking for new PC within month with ASRock MB, which is WiFi enable.

[milanxp]

Excellent MoBo!!! I would like to have one, just now when I use aplications like visual studio 8 and other same apps. I would like to promove this mobos in mexico, because this company is not common in Mexico.

[lavakille]

OMG!! After reading more on this board on the internet, I love it! I bet this board can hit 4GHZ on my E8400 easily with all those overclocking features!! NICE BOARD!

[lavakille]

Very nice motherboard!

[sale666]

if i just had the money to buy one :D hahah :D id be gaming right now :P...

[takacsk]

Just a nice little motherboard, also for Linux

[drmac73]

yes right, smart ,simple & stable

[frankcastle123]

Just a great performer mainboard yet affordable. It seems like my next buy, no doubt a smart one.

[ChoiKoWooRam]

Wow! ASRock S-Series G31M-GS MB is very interesting!

[tms217]

WOW!, its great to have the OC capability but still be able to utilize low voltage for when its not needed. Good work..

[drmac73]

nice thinking of all tastes , way to go asrock

[chim081]

awesome video, i'm buying this board!

[Bioshock66698]

sehr gute arbeit asrock weiter so

[anubis1491]

ASRocK triumphing with everything.

With this new Motherboard S-Series G31M-GS MB ASRocK it was facilitating the configuration of overclocking.

ASROCK WITH EVERYTHING!!!

[xaloy]

Hallo.

Ich hab zur Zeit selbe ein ASRock Board. Ich bin voll zufrieden. Absoluter Preis/Leistungs Sieger find ich.

Gruß

XaloY

[Valantis2]

I really liked what i heard last.

This MB can be free of money because of the money you save from electricity.(I like this ecological mood).

It's a very good "toy" for those who are amateurs in Overclocking because ASRock S-Series G31M-GS minimized danger of killing your MB.

In my opinion it's a good MB for extreme use, since you can safely overclock up to 70%.

[silentlinkin7]

ASRock OC Tuner for overclocking in Windows and Intelligent Energy Saver to conserve power.

and Extra ESD (for better protection of devices)

[AtlantisDJ]

Motherboard is brilliant, The best feature i love is the IES, just imagine the money you could be saving! just brilliant! Asrock just rocks! 5 stars

[jacko77jacko]

Finally! Power saving and total control of CUP power in my hand. It's since 2002 i was tweaking my system to have the same result using unstable freeware tools around internet! Now it's possibile with ease.Thnks ASrock

[RanielOnn]

IMHO Overclocking feature is the main tool, `cause ASRock bet any of concurents.

And the best thing for what I like this company and it`s products for tools they make. Easy overclocking is the best way to make our life fast and interesting.

[ScunnyUK]

Very Nice overclocking options for a G31 chipset board :)

This would make the ideal backbone for a small form factor HTPC,how much will they retail at?

Cheers

Scunny!

[emma123]

Probably the best matx board for overclocking.(and the less expensive)

I used G31 from Gigabyte and I couldn't overclock too much the C2D E2180. (2700-2800mhz)

Moreover, this board has also IES and that handy protection (ESD).

Great job AsROCK!!!!!!!

[khanjeetata]

superb

1600FSB SUPPORT on a g31 thats great.

with simple to use OC TUNER ,ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE DAMAGE PROTECTION AND POWER SAVING IES TECHNOLOGY IT OUTCLASSES OTHER BRANDS

ASROCK - NAME SAYS IT ALL...

[drmac73]

stable, powerful overclocking , practical whether for those who want to keep some old parts or want to total upgrade and with the same nice price ,asrock knows how to drag attention !

[DJBLAS75]

Asrock make good motherboard with the best chipset ( intel G31 ), The overcloking is very easy and safe.I think is a very good solution for make a powerful Mini-PC. I have a K7S41 micro ATX and i think it's a good choice for upgrade my mini-Pc. The large inovation is the support of FSB1600 in Overcloking. The G31 is fully optimized !!

[DJBLAS75]

I have Asrock K7s41 Rock stable, i like asrock for the stability and the low cost.

Cheap and Stable !

[janadal86]

Good thing asrock made this board support FSB533. So ppl with an older CPU can upgrade their motherboards.

[3xdan]

This motheboard is wonderful, probably i will buy to use in student campus, it's very small, you don't need to use a big case, and with an E2140@3GHZ and a 9600GT will rock with performance !

[JOSERVT]

OVERCOMING A ARSOCK IS SAME IF there is no doubt that EXELENTE IS ALWAYS FIND AN INNOVATIVE COMPANY THAT We are surprised by the day.

[wolve1979]

ASRock G31M-GS MB is High fsb to use and power saving and easy to overclock. I think ASRock G31M-GS MB is easy to use for novice or expert if you want more efficiency fou you cpu. ASRock G31M-GS MB is a full multimedia support it have integrated video and 5.1 CH HD Audio you can play fun and fun. ASRock G31M-GS MB is cheaper more than G31 Chipset MB but you can get more G31 MB. Why you pays more ?

[Queryk001]

BTW. what do you think about my motherboard

ASRock AliveXfire-eSATA2 R3.0

[Queryk001]

niceee!

[Kumalo82]

Nice Board with G31 Chipset, i think this is a realy competitor vs AMD fusion project, G31 is the first that can run very good Vista Aero only with the integrated video. We can add the Asroc board that have a nice overclocking and we can have the one of the best platform for the office or for the HTPC, silent with a good CPU like E2160 in review, overcloccable for other work or for the game.

Very Good All-in-one solution!

Byez

[tobybrueck]

Good overclocking potential for a G31 board!

BTW:

First
