ASRock 890FX Deluxe4 Motherboard
Conclusions
Contents
The new ASRock 890FX Deluxe4 is basically an 890FX Deluxe3 with a different USB configuration. Both have four USB 3.0 ports, but on the newer model two of these ports are available on a 3.5” front panel adapter. The Deluxe4 also has two additional USB 2.0 ports. The audio codec was also changed from the VIA VT2020 to the Realtek ALC892, but we have no comments here, since both manufacturers don’t post technical specification about these codecs on their website.
The price difference between the two is of USD 10, and it is up to you to pay a little more to get the frontal USB 3.0 ports.
These two motherboards from ASRock are the most inexpensive socket AM3 motherboards based on the AMD 890FX chipset, and incredibly they provide more features than more expensive models, like eight SATA-600 ports and four USB 3.0 ports.
If you want a mainstream socket AM3 motherboard with the latest technologies and, at the same time, want to save money, these two motherboards from ASRock are your best options right now.
