Q&A

The ASUS F2A55-M/CSM-R delivers quality, features and affordability for you to build a budget-friendly AMD APU based system. This motherboard is powered by AMD A55 (Hudson D2) chipset, and accommodates AMD FM2 APUs that integrate the powerful Radeon HD Series Graphics. This means you'll enjoy discrete-class graphics acceleration in your games and daily application, without the cost or power consumption of a discrete video card.

This motherboard is built with an array of ASUS features that make it stand out immediately. The DIGI+ VRM power control enables precise power delivery and better energy efficiency to the processor. Asus EPU utilizes a dedicated chip to detect PC loading and automatically optimized power consumption. ASUS TurboV allows you to overclock right in the OS, without exiting or rebooting the system, while the GPU Boost levels up the integrated GPU performance for smoother gameplay and video playback. ASUS Anti-Surge Protection ensures maximum safety for your system and components by detecting and cutting off overvoltage supply. This motherboard also boasts USB 3.0 for blistering data transfer at speed up to 5Gbps.

DIGI+ VRM for APU ASUS motherboards using the AMD A55 chipset employ precise digital voltage regulation for the APU, called DIGI+ VRM (Voltage Regulation Modules) digital power design. The APU voltage is adjusted via either carefully developed automated modes, or by using user-defined profiles. The effect is that DIGI+ VRM technology ensures greater energy efficiency and the most precise power delivery. Boosted by world-renowned ASUS quality, it creates an ideal computing platform for a diverse range of applications, from gaming to multimedia or office work and heavy multitasking. Engineered and tested to assure unmitigated performance, ASUS A55 boards with DIGI+ VRM remain efficient and accurate, for reliable application in every scenario.
EPU Tap into the world's first real-time PC power saving chip through a simple onboard switch or AI Suite II utility. Get total system-wide energy optimization by automatically detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power consumption. This also reduces fan noise and extends component longevity!
ASUS TurboV Feel the adrenaline rush of real-time OC-now a reality with the ASUS TurboV. This easy OC tool allows you to overclock without exiting or rebooting the OS; and its user-friendly interface makes overclocking just a few clicks away. Moreover, the ASUS OC profiles in TurboV provide the best O.C. settings in different scenarios.
GPU Boost GPU Boost accelerates the integrated GPU for extreme graphics performance. The user-friendly interface facilitates flexible frequency adjustments. It easily delivers stable system-level upgrades for every use.
USB 3.0 with USB 3.0 Boost Experience ultra-fast data transfer at 5Gbps with USB 3.0 – the latest connectivity standard. Built to connect easily with next-generation components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data 10x faster, and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 components. New ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) - the latest USB 3.0 standard. With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device's transmission speed is significantly increased up to 170%, adding to an already impressive fast USB 3.0 transfer speed. ASUS software automatically accelerates data speeds for compatible USB 3.0 peripherals without the need for any user interaction.
ASUS Anti-Surge Protection Anti-Surge Protection Design detects overvoltage conditions and prevents voltage surges from spreading in real time. It also actively cuts off the overvoltage supply to protect the system.

Kris S. 8/17/2015 9:53:04 AM Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Pretty good board This review is from: ASUS F2A55-M/CSM-R FM2 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS Pros: Works flawlessly Great performance when paired with an A10 APU. Cons: The layout makes using the SATA ports a little fiddly. Other Thoughts: I'm deducting one star because where the SATA ports sit on this board will be under the hard drives in a lot of cases. In my case I ended up having to move my two drives from my top two 3.5" bays to the bottom two, where they'll get less airflow, to have access to the ports. Otherwise this would be a 5 star board in my opinion. In reference to the other review, I'm not using RAID and so cannot comment on the problems that reviewer had. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
David P. 7/2/2015 5:41:57 AM Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5refurbished = don't This review is from: ASUS F2A55-M/CSM-R FM2 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS Pros: price Cons: Two problems surfaced. First problem was being unable to get into the on-board raid controller to configure it. So I gave up on that and just began installing the OS only to discover the second problem which was the the inability of the system to reset. When the installer tried to restart the system it would just hang. Interesting enough it did the same thing on a hard reset. This refurbished product was a complete waste of money and time. I've learned my lesson. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
