Hello to all, and I must say thank you for a most informative website. I've been lurking for a while, trying to glean information that will be useful for my upcoming build of a HTPC that, while primarily used for HD content playing, will also be sometimes used for gaming (FPS, Skyrim, Civ5, etc).
I've searched, but cannot seem to find much info on the motherboard that I am currently considering: the Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0.
Reasons for my selection of this board:
Compatible with the processor I've chosen (AMD FX-6100)
Within my budget (limited to ~$135US for MOBO)
Seems to get good reviews, though I haven't found many
While I'm not terribly concerned with overclocking per se, that option remains on the table, especially if the 6100 processor delivers underwhelming performance with respect to encoding video files or other video manipulation tasks.
So, what have the experiences of OC.com been with respect to this board?
I appreciate any and all feedback ya'll can provide with this.
