Question 1

Does this have a VGA port? (Yes, i know there practically dead) Im building my first cheap pc build. My monitor uses VGA and dont want to spend another 50$ for a newer one.

Accepted Answer

Yes it sure does, although I recommend upgrading to a graphics card via the PCI slot,and I have not had one issue with this board, highly recommend

Question 2

It says there is both crossfire support and a built in GPU on this motherboard. So could I set up crossfire between the built in GPU and the GPU integrated into an APU?

Accepted Answer

It just means if you add multiple GPUs with crossfire ability then this board can support it. I have crossfired vega56 and vega 64s. Those cards become crossfired by default in this MB.

Question 3

So this will actually be able to use my "ancient" Trinity-series FM2 APU?

Accepted Answer

This will be able to use your "Ancient" trinity series APU with no problems. I would suggest once you get everything up and running, be sure to go update the bios. Happy building and computing.

Question 4

does the board have on board wifi or would i need to get a dongle?

Accepted Answer

You'll need a dongle. Pci-e cards work good but I recommend going with the dongle a lot of the internal cards I've used lately are to be blunt junk.

Question 5

The specifications only list DDR3 2133 as the memory standard. Does that mean other speeds of memory won't work?

Accepted Answer

The motherboard supports 1600 and up just make sure your using the same memory standard and use the manufacturers website to make sure your choice of ram is supported.

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 7

does this board have a usb 3.0 front panel connector?
