ASRock 890GX Extreme4 Motherboard Review

For testing today we are going to use an AMD Athlon II X4 635 CPU and compare the results with the stock settings to the automatic 30% overclock.  This boosts the CPU frequency from 2.9GHZ to 3.48GHz which should result in a decent improvement in performance.
