Socket FM2 Micro ATX Motherboard
The ASUS A85XM-A is a Micro ATX motherboard built around the AMD A85X chipset for Socket FM2 processors. It supports DDR3 memory up to 32GB total capacity. This board targets builders assembling a compact desktop with an FM2 APU or CPU.
Suits FM2 APU builds, not newer platforms
This motherboard suits anyone upgrading or repairing a Socket FM2 system that requires DDR3 memory and a Micro ATX form factor. Builders planning a current-generation AMD or Intel platform should look elsewhere, as the socket and chipset are not compatible with newer processors.
32GB DDR3 maximum decides fit
The single specification that decides compatibility is the 32GB DDR3 memory limit set by the AMD A85X chipset. If your build requires more memory or a different memory generation, this board will not meet the requirement.
