ASUS F1A75-M FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Has every feature you could possibly expect... no board has every feature you want!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Crucial MEM 2Gx2|CRUC CT2KIT25664BA1339 DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Motherboard ASUS F1A75-M A75 FM1 CPU AMD A8-3850 2.9G 4M FM1 WD Raptor WD360GD SATA 36.7GB Hard Disk Cooler Master Elite 460 RS-460-PSAR-J3 460W ATX12V V2.31 Power Supply Win7 (64bit) Performance Information: Processor 7.3 Memory (ram) 5.9 Graphics 5.6 Gaming Graphics 6.5 Primary Hard Disk 5.3

Pros: I put in 16 gig of RAM, 6870 XFX GPU, the A8 APU and am having a fun time playing games on my new Win7 Pro computer. The BOIS is very nice and user friendly better than most.

Cons: The BIOS default setting are not optimal for Windows 7 64-bit. You need to go through all setting and optimize it manually. Do not load the OS until after completing this step.

Pros: UEFI, future proof. Mem-OK is a life saving, I use it on Corsair CML16GX3M4A1600C9 16GB (4x 4GB) modules to get them to work. Works on A6-3500

Cons: The list of supported CPU and memory isn't much, not very useful. But even though the CPU and memory isn't on the list, doesn't mean it won't work. It's not true 2 PCI-e x16 ports. (not tested) The manufacturer website will say the slots are x16 but only one is x16 and the other is x4. So, I'm guessing this is an error on Newegg part. Still people should be warn and -1 point reflect that.

Overall Review: Read the (insert your connotation here) manual. Seriously, like Mem-OK feature, it can save your time, and hours of pain trying to figure out why won't your system boot.

Pros: BIOS easy to use APU support No problems with anything

Cons: Nothing

Overall Review: This is by far the most excellent motherboard I own. I bought it as a fairly cheap board for a Battlefield 3 server and Minecraft server host, anyway I was so impressed with it that I ordered another one for a gaming PC I'm building. I can't recommend the board enough. Great job again ASUS.

Pros: I liked the ASUS board I got a couple years ago, so got one again. Love the speed of USB3. The fan speed control keeps my 65W A6 nice and quiet. Love the not needing windows in order to flash the BIOS. No memory problems at all, MemOK tried some settings and then booted right up.

Cons: Note that ASUS puts STICKERS on the tops of their back-panel USB3 connectors to highlight the fact that they are USB3 (not 2). In the newegg mobo photos, those stickers make it look like two additional actual USB3 ports are accessible from inside the case. Maybe I'm the only idiot that thought that, but I was surprised anyway.

Overall Review: Not a fan of the fancy graphics BIOS. Looks pretty, but not very helpful, at least for me. The "advanced" BIOS screens are great though.

Pros: Great build quality and a solid motherboard. I was able to run everything just fine on Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate and have had no problems.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Had some trouble with the USB 3.0 ports, have found that it works best with devices that do not require a large power output or devices that are actually certified to be used with USB 3.0. Otherwise, you may run into some issues here, but not a big deal to me. As long as it runs on certified USB 3.0 devices, I'm fine, not concerned if it's 100% backwards compatible to USB 2.0.

Pros: The board has about everything you want AND eliminates that useless IDE port that we quit using in 2003. The board also has a memory check button that can resolve most memory issues, if you have any. The board is also cleanly laid out and seems simple. Everything worked as advertized for me. Very good board for a light-weight PC. I had only one issue with the network drivers but that was Windowz 7 problem. Interestingly the Linux Mint had ZERO issues with this. Runs cool and quiet and I love the BIOS.

Cons: My first board was DOA but got a new one fast. I don't like the placement of the PCi-X slot because most video cards will obscure that slot. You CAN get an extender and that may solve the problem or you get a Video card with the fan on the other side of the X port. This seems to be common in a lot of Micro ATX boards. Such an easy fix and lots of room on the board for an accessible X slot.

Overall Review: So far the board exceeds my expectations. The new BIOS is fun to play around with and has more settings than a 747 Flight Deck. For beginners or those that don't care, there is an EZ set up that really does a nice job configuring the BIOS. The board seems solid with no issues. I liked it so much, I am getting the standard ATX version to house more cards. I will be upgrading from Phenom II quad core to the new Llano with lower power (65W) because I now prefer low noise and I don't play games anymore.

Pros: Great motherboard. USB 3.0, Japanese capacitors, sleek design, compatible with my case. Everything I need to make my computer perfect.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I recently purchased this to replace my old motherboard and let me tell you, one of the best motherboards I've ever purchased. This motherboard is great if you're about to build a desktop computer.
