Results: HD Tach HD and USB 3.0
HD Tach Hard Drive
HD Tach is getting a bit old and is no longer updated, but it is still a fairly consistent benchmark for this type of testing. A non-system 1TB drive was used for this testing.
Here we see the opposite of the SiSoft tests in terms of SATA 6G performance. The Asus part is just slightly faster overall than the Gigabyte unit. The differences are minimal, but consistent.
HD Tach USB
This test was done using the Sharkoon USB 3.0 HD dock and the aforementioned non-system WD Caviar Black 1TB drive.
Again we see some interesting results. The Gigabyte board was much slower in burst reads, but was faster overall in average throughput. This is using the built-in USB 3.0 controller on the A85X and not the ASMedia/Etron unit.
Nice board for FM2. One of
Nice board for FM2. One of the best I have seen. Good job Gigabyte. No AMD you need to make a monster chip for the FM2 socket. Maybe drop the Gpu part and pack more cores. a 6 core fm2 would be sweet
I think a Matx version with
I think a Matx version with similar features and a slightly lower price tag would have made more sense.
Full Atx for an apu is hard to understand.
But I do like it overall, just too bad Trinity really can’t take advantage of anything in the OC department.
nice board, hopefully it will
nice board, hopefully it will work with kaveri.

Looks like a good and solid motherboard but i lean more towards Asus plus if you get the F2A85-V PRO FM2 AMD A85X you also receive a bonus Razer Kraken pro headset ! id say thats a sweet deal :)http://event.asus.com/au/2013/FM2/
If your work depends on it,
If your work depends on it, learn to check just three times.
If you want to get into reselling of used printer cartridges, yyou
will need to source for additional empty cartridges to make our efforts viable.Sony Ericsson Satio
operated on Symbian OS series 60 with 5th edition, is
a camerta focused phone and it also supplies same size touchscreen display but the scren resolution is 640 x 360 Pixels here and
aalso has accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate but here you
will not find QWERTY keyboard.
My brother suggested I might like this website.

No numbers? That makes this a sort of “general opinion” review?
Kind of like.. well…I like this one sort of better than that one?
Very strange.
I “kind of” wish I had the 5 minutes back.
I see multiple benchmark
I see multiple benchmark pages in the review… are you not seeing them?

I recently purchased one of these boards. The POST screen that is supposed to show on boot up is not visible. All we see is a black screen until the the message “Starting Windows” come on. After several attempts at entering the Bios program I did a bad thing. I tried to reset the bios using the bios reset button. The computer will not boot at all. So I wound up contacting the vendor. They sent me a new board. This one does the same thing. The screen that prompts to hit Del to enter setup never shows up.
Has anyone else experienced this ? If so what can I do?
as seen on a forum, just use
as seen on a forum, just use a VGA cable to enter the bios, it appears that with hdmi the bios is not visible sometimes.
but i didn’t test it myself.
