ASUS FM2+ ROG Crossblade Ranger Review

ADIA 64
At stock settings the Crossblade gives considerable performance boost compared to the MSI A88X-G45, with a boost of around 200 points, 600 points and 1000 points in the Photoworxx, AES and the CPU Queen tests respectively. In an overclocked state both of the boards perform much more closely, but the Crossblade Ranger still leads in all the test except for the Photoworxx test.

Going to say it: "That awkward moment when the chip that will be used with the motherboard costs less than the motherboard itself"
Because I don't think that someone would run an APU on that board....Quote

When this 'board first came out I laughed at it. Alot.
However, it does make more sense to me now. Its still comparatively cheap for a full on ROG setup and the 860k is actually not that bad at all as a gaming pc. All they need to do is to release something ROG that is cheapish GPU wise (ROG 750Ti?) and you've got a solid, themed rig.Quote
Erhm yeah... Who is going to pay 60 quid for an 860k, only to pair it up with a £120 motherboard? Let alone run SLI/CrossfireX with a CPU like that :|
Or even when you get the most expensive APU that costs as much as this board? Use on-board graphics? Get a proper GPU, rendering the one on the APU useless anyway?
I mean, it's nice that proper boards for AMD exist, but it's a bit pointless when AMD doesn't have a CPU line-up to go with them
