Review on πŸ’ͺ ASUS B85M-G Motherboard: Unleash Power and Performance by Mateusz Trzmiel ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

Black textolite has a more standard design than the bare brown or green it replaces. Nonetheless, preference. Apart for minor tweaks to the voltages and other settings, the i7 Crystall notebook booted up without requiring any firmware or BIOS adjustments.

Pros
  • This is a great, straightforward model. Used for three years in conjunction with: i5 4440, HD 7870 2GB, 4 * ddr3 HyperX 1600 4 GB each, SSD for the system, two hard drives for data, 550 watt power supply, I'm not fond of overclocking - it works quite adequately. Appropriate for building extremely small systems. About five months ago, I swapped in a modified Intel Core i7-4870HQ processor. You can safely overclock to 3.8 GHz. Given that this processor has a cache size of L4, or 128 MB, I don't anticipate any time soon when I'll need to switch platforms.
Cons
  • Access to mini-psi slots is already limited, making the installation of a video card more difficult, but who uses them anyway? Making a vrm cooling system is challenging, but these are minor issues; with a reliable power supply and some light overclocking, it stays well within safe operating temperatures.

I've had this motherboard for about a year with no problems. Survived i5 4460 and RX 470 4gb, now it has Xeon E3 1240 v4 and GTX 1060 6gb

Different pros: Great motherboard for the money Different cons: If only the presence of latches for the RAM on only one side, which is not very convenient

With its pros: Price, features, BIOS, boot time with Fast Boot With its cons: Only two connectors for connecting valves, one more would not hurt :)
