Great for media center/HTPC, wireless is terrible. 01/22/2016
This review is from: ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard
Pros:
Optical out is perfect for older home theater systems that do not support HDMI natively.
Connectors are in good locations for small cases.
Cons:
BIOS flashing is nerve wracking and requires removing an installed video card.
The included wireless Atheros chip is terrible. It can't connect to a standard wireless N access point.
Large coolers with big backplates will not work on this motherboard without modification.
Overall Review:
I would recommend swapping out the built in wireless card for one based on an Intel chipset.
