How the heck designed this board!!??

Do you see the flaw here  ?                      ^^

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4x upward sata ports

any one will interfere with a 2-slot gpu.

what about 90 degree cables you might think? this would only allow 2x sata ports left.

I violently bend the cables and achieved GPU sag upwards!!

I kinda doubt that they meant this board for big modern graphics cards. It looks pretty old.

Oh hey, I have an AM3+ relative to this board. The design was really fucking stupid with a normal-length HD 7850. God only knows how pathetic it'd be with a longer card.

I am also putting a hd 6850 to it lol

the only value left at that era is just for basic display and storage!!

Oh yeah, I remember that one, and not only that motherboard, but a few of them from that era. Actually, it was quite common for them to place SATA ports like that, as many at that time are not likely to use a dedicated GPU at that time (at least not for this type of 'cheap' board).

 

We do come a long way from there, haven't we?

So, I see a mobo with legacy PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, onboard video that is just VGA, onboard audio with just 3x3.5mm audio jacks (no apparent optical), and a whopping 2 RAM slots.

 

This is the board you're going to stick a full length, double wide, gaming quality video card on?

 

Is there a 10-71 roots supercharger sticking out of the hood of your Toyota Yaris?

I see a DVI, HDMI, and USB-C, and just one legacy PS/2 connector. The audio is the only thing that board shares with OP's example. There's also 8 years of difference in technology - I checked, OP's example came out in 2011. I don't recall how many video cards were even double wide 8 years ago, but I don't think it was as common as now. We can pack a lot more onto a board now than back then, in terms of capability with less IO. Nobody was figuring OP's example of board as their ideal gaming platform back then, let alone now. That board was what you stuffed in a spare box or a system for your mom to go on Facebook and play Solitaire.

Most A320s probably never going to see a dGPU

Lots of people will be using them with 2200gs; iirc a lot of them are Ryzen 2000 ready at this point specifically on the board you mentioned recent reviews on Amazon and Newegg show no update was necessary.

When I get back home to my other computer, gonna pull up history and find the model of the board dgsddfgdfhgs originally posted, which had different specs. Pretty sketchy edit to edit that.

 

Edit: It was the MSI B450I that was originally posted. The image linked was this:

 

So clearly a different situation and not a good example for comparison for 'today'.
