Gigabyte A75M-S2V mATX AMD FM1 A75 2PCI-E16 1PCI-E1 1PCI DDR3 HDMI DVI SATA3 USB 3.0 Motherboard
Cons:No IDE header, no floppy header, very little included in box.
Pros:Plenty of SATA connectors, good space between RAM and processor, no issues with stability. Comment:
For a low cost board for an APU processor, this board can do the rounds. It had no problems with stability or recognizing a AMD FM1 3650 APU with the initial BIOS. Options within the BIOS to adjust the video clock and memory size are easy to use. However, this is not a good board for legacy devices/users, as there isn't even a single IDE header, and no floppy header, instead there is something called a TPM header, which I'm not even entirely sure has a purpose. The box itself includes very few accessories: just 2 SATA cables. |
Good amount of options for a budget board. Kinda wish it had HDMI and PATA connections but no biggie. Lots of easy overclocking options, runs stable and quiet. If you're an OC'er, be prepared for the wrong voltages and temperatures to show up in windows programs. Says my cpu idles at 9 degrees. Not possible since ambient is 25. CPU voltage also reported .05 volts higher than set in bios. Using F6a bios, hoping the next one fixes these problems. Otherwise, great board.
