Cons: None considering the form factor and price.
Pros: Great Value, packed with features, solid performance, NCIX great service. Comment:
A good buy with integrated sound & video. I have had no issues since the first boot. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit with AMD FX4100 quad core, 8gb crucial ram. I haven't tried windows yet. It is a compact board so it will fit in smaller cases although I have a full tower Lian-Li. Recommended if you are looking for a budget system for everyday use, even looks cool with windowed case under cold cathode light. Very happy so far! |

Cons: VGA port flexes, maximum of 16GB of RAM
Pros: Everything: great features, BIOS recovery, stability, supports AM3+ Comment:
I bought this board mainly because I wanted a stable system and not have to deal with unstable mainboard drivers from some cheap mainboard company. Knowing that ASUS is a reliable brand, I decided to pay more to get the stability I want.Other than the VGA flexing issue (which does not matter as I have a dedicated graphics card now), the board is amazing for its price. I definitely recommend this board.Hopefully ASUS releases a BIOS update which increases the maximum allowed RAM. This board currently only supports a maximum of 16GB. Other boards even in the low-end support 32GB. While overkill, 32GB isn't a bad thing to have. |

Pros: Tidy Little Board for an MATX Build. Comment:
Solid little board for an MATX build. Haven't had a problem with it at all. Does what its suppose to do and does it well. I suppose the trademark Asus Powder Blue(tm) might clash with some components if you have a window on your PC. But I don't, so no one can see the fashion faux pas between it and my red G.Skill ram... |

Cons: 1cpu fan. 1 case fan only.
Pros: Sata3, ddr3. usb3, 4 memory slot, all on a mATX. Comment:
This is a nice motherboard, the only thing i dont like on it its that you only have 1 cpu fan and 1 case fan plug on the m5a88. |
very good for price and the onboard sound is great. would recommend to anybody that wants decent motherboard for a good price.
