ASUS A88XM-PLUS

Advantages: Bridges are not heated, the system is stable. Many SATA ports, all located logically and conveniently.

Disadvantages: The location of the PCI ports, no matter PCI-E, PCI-E x16 or anything else.
I'll start with the top, yellow PCI-E x16 3.0, which is meant to be used for the video card. However, any less modern card, especially with the support of crossfire, will inevitably overlap the PCI-E which is located immediately after. Moreover, the next PCI will also be difficult to use, since any expansion card inserted there will inevitably overlap the ventilation of the video card. The next PCI-E x16 supports only 2.0, which will greatly affect the performance of the video card inserted there. In addition, problems may arise (and arise) with usb cables going right under this PCI-E x16 2.0, that is, inserting a modern card that takes up two more places is quite difficult, although it is possible.

Comment: After my beloved ASUS A88X-GAMER burned down, which, although it has a different form factor, did not suffer from such problems, although it could. Alas, nothing better than this motherboard was not on sale, and I doubt that it will turn out - all the same FM2 + is already outdated, unfortunately.
Despite the shortcomings described by me in the presence of extension cords, a well ventilated case and patience, it is still possible to place everything correctly and normally. The problem is that on normal matplata such problems do not arise.

Advantages: 4 connectors for OZU, 2 for video card, ASUS, design, support for 3 monitors, price.

Disadvantages: There is no such thing, although for 2017 it is already an outdated model, it does not support the frequency of an ram higher than 2133 mNz.

Comment: 2 years in use, like, supports a lot, satisfied.

Advantages: put on it a new A8 7670K, does not heat up above 32 in the game load (of course with a good cooler), a convenient BIOS, easily updated, a convenient control and overclocking utility.

Disadvantages: vidyuha with a large cooler exactly overlap the connector pci

Comment: I have been using it for over a year with good loads, I constantly have a computer, I have not yet caused any problems and complaints

Advantages: Good motherboard, bridges under load do not heat up max 33-34 C, taking into account good ventilation of the case. With AMD Athlon X4 860K started up without problems.

Disadvantages: Note that memory speeds above 2133 are achieved only with overclocking.
There is one drawback for me: the PCI-e slot is very close to the PCI-E x 16 slot.
If you put a large radiator, such as Ice hammer IH4300 or deepcool gammax 300, keep in mind that memory with high radiators may not fit.

Comment: Now almost all video cards are quite bulky with large radiators ... When buying, it is worth considering that it completely overlaps the PCI-E slot. The WI-FI adapter I purchased did not fit in there ... Accordingly, the video card moved to the slot below.Only the yellow PCI-E x 16 slot with interface 3.0, and black 2.0, the performance difference is, of course, scanty, less than 1%. But still it is not clear why the manufacturer did not think about it ...

Advantages: It works, after updating the BIOS, it holds a memory frequency of 2400 MHz, there is an automatic overclocking of the processor, fan speed adjustment.

Comment: In the BIOS, only the frequency of the processor fan is configurable. In order to properly configure all the fans, including the system ones, you need to run the Fan Xpert utility included in AI Suite 3 from the operating system. After passing the stress test, you can select the modes: Quiet, Standard, Turbo, Full speed. Turnover even three-contact fans are changing. I have a Standard mode. With a small load: phoeb surfing, printing; You can clearly hear the rattle of quartz wall clocks, although they are even a little farther from me than the system unit.

Advantages: Cold, in game load MV max. was 33 degrees. Bios in Russian. Control of all three cooling fans. Economical mode of operation of the system. Keeps the frequency of 1600 RAM, after the first exposure in the BIOS.

Disadvantages: For me, no.

Comment: My system is ASUS A88XM-PLUS. AMD Athlon X4 760K Richland = 7.3. DDR3 2 x 4 GB memory module Team Xtreem Vulcan (TLD38G1600HC9DC01) = 7.4. PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 860Mhz PCI-E 3.0 2048Mb 4800Mhz 256 bit = 7.9. Western Digital D10EZEX = 5.9.
AeroCool Strike-X 600W. Everything worked from the first launch and works like a watch, stable and fast. Acceleration machine. and manual, but I did not overclock, and everything suits me.
