  1. Wow! Very nice review. Good job AMD! Really liking this a lot! This is more competitive compared the bulldozers and piledriver processors.

  2. Its quite an ugly looking motherboard on a colour scheme level (not important to some I guess). thankfully they seem to be improving their bioses. been following their motherboards here since they started doing them….

  4. I like this new range of low end processors from AMD, they perform really well. anyone remember ATOM? yeah, not fondly. it was sh$t

  5. That SATA arrangement seems unnecessary. I can only assume the engineering wiring on the multi layer PCB had to be routed a specific way making the layout impossible for level port positioning.

    I suppose you could use the angled connectors, although they might still connect with a larger graphics card.

    Who uses mSATA however? the drives are very expensive.

  6. would make more sense if they did a mini itx version of it for media centers only.
