ASUS F1A55-M LX PLUS R2.0 FM1 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Built a system with this motherboard with no issues, 8 gigs of G-Skill Sniper ram, AMD A8-3850 Llano 2.9GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Processor, and 2TB Seagate 6.0 Hard drive, Windows 8.

Cons: A little close when installing in a ATX micro case, but it works.

Other Thoughts: Great value with the end of the year sales.

Pros: None yet

Cons: Having major issues with the Ethernet Adapter Drivers. Can't even get on line. My IT guy at work put it together for me, so I know it was done correctly. Not much online support for this mobo. Even tried connecting printer to the Ethernet Port to set up printer. Was not seen.

Other Thoughts: This mobo may be too new to update anything. Using AMD A6, 8GB Kingston 1333, Samsung 250 SSD and Haupagge 1250 TV Tuner. Thinking about going back to Foxconn. Former was a Foxconn Cinema II Deluxe, AMD Athlon II X4, 8GB GSkill Ripjaw 1333 1TB Seagate.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

We're sorry to hear about the onboard LAN issue you had with the motherboard. Please check that the Realtek LAN Controller in UEFI > Advanced Mode > Advanced > Onboard Devices Configuration is Enabled, that the LED status indicators on the rear I/O are blinking or steady (steady orange means that it's linked and blinking orange means active data transfer). Is the adapter detected in Device Manager? Can you tell me what drivers were installed for the ethernet adapter? For Win7 32bit & Win7 64bit, version V7.61.612.2012 (http://www.asus.com/Motherboard/F1A55M_LX_PLUS_R20/#support_Download) should be used. If you're still having trouble and would like to continue support, please contact me at cl-benson@asus.com (reference #C1037-7725 in the email subject line) and I'll be happy to assist you. Thank you.

Regards,
