At a first glance ASUS leaves a good impression with its
F1A75-V Pro. Especially the digital power design as well as the space between
the PCI-Express x16 slots are major plus points. Furthermore
we very much like the color design and to us it's very appealing. |

Generally the F1A75-V Pro's layout is well thought. Once more very practical are the angled SATA connectors. Furthermore the placement of the PCI-Express x16 slots is well thought too and therefore nothing needs to be criticized at this
point as there is space between them and the last one isn't close to the
motherboard bottom's edge. You will also find an entire set of video outputs
consisting of
no less than four video connectors. What was also very practical is, that it uses
the same CPU mounting kit as AMD AM2/3's motherboards, which means the
socket is compatible to older coolers. And of course, the possibility of adding
up to six USB3.0 devices is also very practical. The only inconvenient concerns the memory slots
which are quite close to the socket and it
can cause incompatibilities with big heatspreaders and huge CPU coolers.
