ASUS F1A75-V Pro

Zitat: Pro: + Quality BIOS + Well-laid-out + Chock-full of USB 3.0 and (e)SATA Con: - No FireWire support - No explicit GPU overclocking AMD provides a heck of a lot of integration with its A-series APU processors, as it couples CPU cores, a memory-controller, and graphics on to one chip. Going further, AMD provides a controller chip with built-in USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps high-speed connectivity. One can make a case for any A-series motherboard to be simple in design; AMD has done most of the hard work. ASUS, however, believes there´s a market for premium APU-based motherboards, and the F1A75-V PRO is a case in point. Presented in a full-ATX form factor and improved by the inclusion of additional USB 3.0 SATA/eSATA support, along with a quality UEFI BIOS and an array of video outputs, this is an AMD A6/A8 platform with almost all the bells and whistles tacked on. Being critical, we´d like to see FireWire specified as standard, and understanding the premium nature of the board, being able to independently overclock the GPU core would be preferable. Here´s the skinny, folks. A £65 microATX-sized FM1 board will do for most readers - you´ll have USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps as standard. The reviewed ASUS F1A75-V PRO costs £20 more, and whether it´s worth it will depend on how keen you are to have ASUS-added features. Solid, feature-rich and well-laid-out, we reckon the F1A75-V PRO will make a good home to a premium-quality PC based around AMD´s A6/A8 APU technology.
