Asus M4A785TD-V EVO

$130.00 Released December, 2009

The Pros:Looks good - features a nice blue color scheme. Good overclocking support - remains stable and relatively cool. Includes lots of system tools in the box - great for serious system tweakers.

The Cons:Requires a BIOS update to properly overclock system memory to 1600MHz. Doesn't allow an IDE hard drive to be used as the boot device. Only 1 PS/2 connection for either a keyboard or mouse.

The Asus M4A785TD-V EVO is a mid-range to high-end ATX motherboard similar to the Asus M4A785TD-M EVO. The sole improvement that the M4A785TD-V EVO boasts over the M4A785TD-M EVO is its two PCIe 2.0 x16 expansion slots for dual-GPU setups.
