ASRock FM2A85X-ITX Motherboard
Conclusions
Contents
The ASRock FM2A85X-ITX is a good motherboard if you are building a small form factor (SFF) computer using a second-generation A-Series CPU from AMD (“Trinity”). It only has the basic features provided by the chipset, but these (seven SATA-600 ports, one eSATA-600 port, four USB 3.0 ports, and eight USB 2.0 ports) are more than enough for the average user. With VGA, DVI-D, HDMI, and optical SPDIF connectors available, you won’t have any trouble connecting a computer built with this motherboard to a home theater system. ASRock used high-end components on the motherboard’s voltage regulator circuit, which is always nice to see.
We think the price for this motherboard is right for what it offers, and it should please the average user building a small form factor computer either for gaming, for regular office applications, or as a media center.
