Posted September 20, 2013 This was the cheapest motherboard I could find in Norway with Wi-Fi. As is often the case with cheapo motherboards, I am worried that it'll suck. Does anyone have experience with these boards? Are they solid? In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Posted September 20, 2013 Funnily enough just finished a mini itx FM2 build with the AsRock equivalent to that (which had problems so i had to RMA) and i replaced it with the GIGABYTE F2A85XN-WiFi which turned out to be a solid board. I would have gone for this one if the gigabyte wasn't available though. This one looks just like the gigabtye one apart from the chipset so it should be decent. just don't go for the asrock one Aragorn (WS): 250D | 6800k | 840 Pro 512GB | Intel 530 480GB | Asus X99-M WS | 64GB DDR4 | Corsair HX720i | GTX 1070 | Corsair H115i | Philips BDM4350UC 43" 3840x2160 IPS Gimli (server): Node 304 | G4560 | ADATA XPG SX8000 128GB | 2x 5TB WD Red | ASROCK H270M-ITX/AC | 8GB DDR4 | Seasonic 400FL Omega (server): Fractal Arc Mini R2 | i3 4130 | 500GB Maxtor | 2TB WD Red : Raid 1 | 3TB Seagate Barracuda | 16GB RAM | Seasonic G-450wAlpha (WS): 900D | 4770k | GTX 780 | 840 Pro 512GB | GA-Z87X-OC | Corsair RM 850 | 24GB 2400mhz | Samsung S27B970D 2560x1440 |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not planning to overclock this build at all since it's an HTPC/ light gaming box for my parent's TV for christmas, so I guess I'll just bite the bullet and get the MSi board, hoping it'll work out.

Posted September 21, 2013 I built a system on this board, and it was just fine; no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response strange. I was seeing the MSI for around £70 in the UK, and the gigabyte was only £15 more.
