This review is from: ASRock A88M-G/3.1 FM2+ / FM2 A88X (Bolton D4) Micro ATX Motherboard
Pros:
Works great wit the New X4 845 CPU and R7 260x. I'm also using GSkill 2133 memory with no problem.
I'm using the SPDIF out and 5.1 surround support. with no problems. AMD Crimson drivers install wihout problems.
Cons:
The problem I ran into was when I tried to Crossfire 2 graphics cards. The drivers install and Crossfire was supported but the fan on the main card was completely blocked by the second graphics card. The 2 PCIe slots are too close together and this resulted in no airflow on main card.
If PCIE3 is occupied, M2_1 will be disabled.
No Display Port on motherboard. Need Display Port to enable Free Sync on supported APU.
Overall Review:
I ordered this board to Crossfire so I have to return the board.
