This review is from: MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 FM2 AMD A85X (Hudson D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros:
Used this board in a build last tax season, and I am extremely happy with the purchase. Everything about setting it up was easy EXCEPT for updating drivers for windows 8. But this was a windows 8 problem, not the board's fault.
Very simple overclocking (manually at least, i'm not a fan of one touch overclocking via oc genie or similar concepts) Got my A10-5800k up to 4.2ghz right out of the box, easy setup of my 2133mhz G.Skill ram, and dual graphics was as easy as a click of the mouse.
Cons:
None that i've found yet.
Overall Review:
I was originally running the a10-5800k apu with a 6670 discreet card for dual graphics, and it worked well enough. Since then I have gone the way of a more powerful single discreet card, but if you're on a budget this will definitely get you by for gaming, as long as you understand you can't max your settings.
