AsRock Shows AMD Trinity mATX FM2 Motherboards




AMD’s Trinity was clearly yesterday’s star at the Taipei Computex 2012 show. If the mobile lineup has been displayed and discussed over and over again, the desktop line is still eluding us, but the motherboard manufactures are at least showing us the platforms.

AsRock reportedly steps up in the desktop Trinity ring with three new motherboards. The first two of the new additions are the most affordable, and the FM2A75M-DGS is the cheapest. Based on AMD’s A75 FCH complete with SATA III, the FM2A75M-DGS is a mATX board powering the FM2 socket with a modest 4-phase VRM. It only brings two DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to DDR3 2400 MHz memory and even more if overclocking is allowed. The PCB is a nice cool black like the whole color scheme and it only comes with a single PCI-Express x16 slot and a legacy PCI 32 Bit one also.

Six SATA III ports are present, and the most important areas of the mainboard are using higher quality solid capacitors. Luckily for the budget system builders, the FM2A75M-DGS does come with four USB 3.0 ports and, for the legacy fans, LTP and COM headers are also present. The I/O panel includes DL-DVI, D-Sub, 6-channel HD audio and Gigabit Ethernet. The FM2A75 Pro4-M is a little more refined than the FM2A75M-DGS, as it comes with 6-phase CPU fueling and a heatsink over the MOSFET components. The board comes with four DDR3 DIMM slots with support for up to 32 GB DDR3 2400 MHz memory, and even faster when overclocking comes into play.

There are two PCI-Express x16 slots and a legacy PCI 32 Bit one along with fours USB 3.0 connectors and eight USB 2.0 ones. The I/O panel is rich with HDMI, DVI, VGA, 8-channel HD audio with THX TruStudio Pro support and the expected Gigabit Ethernet. Both boards come with UEFI BIOS and an extra PCI-Express x1 slot.
