Cons: Bad descriptions of what cpu's are supported.
Pros: Pretty board, Double channel memory, some overclocking capibility, Dirt cheap. Comment:
Quick tale of my experience with this board.I ordered it and decided that I was going to go with an A4-3300 and overclock it for casual gaming. Sounded easy and good enough to get me into Ivy bridge.Ordered this board and had to wait for the cpu from the Egg place.Finally got them together and to my horror got a long beep and then two short beeps with no video out through integrated or dedicated card.This board (or the one I got) ships with bios version 1.0. the A4-3xxx series apparently are fully supported in version 1.3, I was lucky enough to be able to remote into the machine to flash the bios over my network but still quite a hassle for something that should be silky smooth. Check the compatibly before you buy here: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/A75MA-G55.html#/?div=CPUSupportclick their right hand side links to see what bios they are compatible with.In the end, I'm happy with what I got, but lost 8 hours of my life troubleshooting it. |

Cons: no firewire for the frontpannel connector.
Pros: see summary Comment:
Great mATX borad with basically everything you need for a small APU machine.it will be better if it has firewire for the frontpannel connector. |
Overall a good board, although I had to RMA it due to a fail with the M-Flash Utility. Easy install into my small mATX case, aligning perfectly with the built-in stand-offs. Would probably buy again if I needed another board.
