FM2 ITX

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to post an update while using the FM2A85X-ITX. So far I have had 0 stability issues with the mobo, or odd quirks, working incredibly well so far.

When I did the install I used a gemminII HS/Fan for the a10, as above mounting the backplate was problematic. I ended up using some non conductive plastic to act as mini risers for the plate which gave enough clearance for the ICs and screwed her in (the risers were such that the normal 'screws' for the gemminII still worked).

Temps so far idle around 30c CPU, 28c system and no weird issues with my hackneyed backplate mounting haha.

So anyway, so far so good with the mobo.
 
has anyone managed to mount cooler master Gemini II on FM2A85X-ITX?

are there any other decent FM2 ITX boards available?
 
The Gigabyte GA-F2A85XN-WIFI is back. Maybe. They've listed it on their mini itx models page Here
And there's a bunch of pictures here

Now if only they'd launch it...
