Good Layout and Aesthetic, Lucid Virtu MVP, Quality components inc IR3550 PowIRstage ICs, Competitive price for high end A85X board
Unstable Baseclock
There are a few questions raised by this motherboard, mostly minor, but has made me realise a few things. Firstly, the A85X chipset adds few features over the A75 chipset, I can't help but feel that, as a platform, it is trying to be more than it actu...
