ASUS A88X-PRO Motherboard
Conclusions
Contents
The ASUS A88X-PRO is a good motherboard if you are building a computer with a socket FM2 processor, with the advantage of being compatible with future socket FM2+ APUs.
It has almost only the basic features provided by the chipset (except for two extra USB 3.0 ports), but they (six SATA-600 ports, two eSATA-600 ports, six USB 3.0 ports, and ten USB 2.0 ports) are more than enough for the average user. The diagnostics display is a nice feature, too.
One of the highlights of this motherboard is the high-end audio interface, which uses one of the best codec available at the market. Another one is the presence of VGA, DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort outputs, allowing connection to four monitors with no need of purchasing a video card.
The only minus of the ASUS A88X-PRO is that there are other options on the market with the same features, but at a lower price.
