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:
•Quality Components
•Included WiFi can be swapped to an mSata SSD if desired.
•Included WiFi works well
•Has room around the socket for a larger CPU cooler than the Gigabyte board.
Cons:
•Shipped with BIOS revision 1.40. Version 1.50 is required to run a Kaveri APU which I am intending to do. Had to shell out an extra $55 to buy a Richland chip to update BIOS. Latest BIOS version is 2.10
•Chips on the back of the board. Not really a con for me but could be for some. I am using an H60 so I don't need a backplate.
Overall Review:
So far this motherboard has worked beyond my expectations and I look forward to what the Kaveri chip can do once it arrives.
