ASUS F2A85-V Pro Review: A Look at FM2 with A85X

Stefan Mileschin · 11th October 2012, 07:30

The new release of Trinity processors on the desktop opens up a cascade of issues when it comes to choosing a new motherboard for your Trinity system. The main point of confusion comes in the face of chipsets, whereby multiple sockets and processor families can use the same chipsets and each motherboard manufacturer has a different naming scheme in order to differentiate the two. Both Intel and AMD have been guilty of this in the past, but in the past 18 months we had no real cause for concern - until now. With that, I give the first FM2 motherboard we are testing here at AnandTech, the ASUS F2A85-V Pro. This full sized ATX board is aiming for the enthusiast in the Trinity space.
