Asus F2A55-M LK (A55) Motherboard Review

With the release of FM2, we also saw a slight refresh with their

chipset lineup as well as some additions. A85X was added but an old

favourite was kept on with their A55 chipset, which we all remember

from the FM1 Llano days.

 

A55 in a nutshell is your typical no frills option that gives you all

the features you need, and none of the features that you don't need. I

guess you could say that it's aimed at a particular market, such as

HTPC, business, education, government and so forth as it doesn't have

the likes of SATA III and Bluetooth and AMD CrossFireX technology, but

for users wanting it for the purposes listed, are you really going to

want all of that? If your answer is no, then why should you pay for

it?

 

That's exactly what Asus believe too and that's why they've released

their F2A55-M LK board to market. We actually reviewed its bigger

brother, the F2A55-M

not long ago and was impressed with its performance

overall, especially for a budget focussed product. The LK edition

follows the same trend but cuts out even more, bringing the price down

to an even more attractive level, though the F2A55-M was only

retailing at less than £70 anyway, but what would you say if you found

out the LK is less than £55?

 

The only way to explain what we have on offer is a simple approach

that gives you want you want, without breaking the bank which makes it

perfect for the market areas we spoke about and that makes this an

interesting board for us. Normally you see us taking a look at the

higher-end scale of products with enthusiast, gaming and overclocking

based products, but we do have a passion when it comes to value for

money, and that's what Asus pledge to give you with the F2A55-M LK, so

lets see if its any good.

 

Without jumping straight in to the benchmarks and performance side of

things, we want to see if any corners have been cut in terms of the

packaging and added accessories, and then we can focus more on the

board, its features and of course; the BIOS. After this is out the

way, we can get into the main segment of testing this board to its

limits at both stock and overclocked levels.
