A68HI AC

It's a great motherboard, it has all you need to build a htpc, office pc or even a gaming pc as i do. It has all basic connectors, pci express 16 3.0, 4 sata 3, 2 usb 3.0 [2 more via front panel], 2 usb 2.0 [2 more via front panel], vga, dvi and hdmi for video output, it also has wifi and bluetooth too. I like its black pcb, it looks classy. The only thing i don't like it's the layout of connectors, but this is a mini itx motherboard, it's going to be cramped anyway. This mainboard is supposedly a basic motherboard but as i mention before it has all the connectors you need to build a fast and reliable pc. Yes, i admit it lacks modern features like usb type c, m.2 or sata express, but you don't need to worry about m.2 or sata express ssd if you actually have a sata ssd, and for usb type c you can always use an adapter for that one. My build is: Mainboard-msi a68hi-ac CPU: amd a10-7800 3.5ghz, 4 cores, 4mb cache [65 watts] Memory: adata 2x4gb ddr3 2133mhz SSD [storage]: crucial mx200 500gb Graphics card: amd xfx r9 380 2gb video memory PSU: corsair sf450 80+ gold, modular I play all my games in 1080p 60fps in medium/high graphics, including: Battefield 4, Dirt 3, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Borderlands 2, Mass Effect 3, Star Wars Battlefront, FIFA 16, etc.

Great replacement motherboard or (old) upgrade for OEM board. Personally, I used this to upgrade my Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-H which I guess a component shorted on. The problem before I replaced it was: computer wouldn't shutdown properly, or restart properly. Every time it would shut down there would be a *click* noise and it would not be able to reboot unless I hit the power reset button on my case. After dealing with this for months AND replacing the PSU, swapping it out for this motherboard solved that issue. Installation: super easy, wish it came with more case screws but you should already have those if your doing a swap. Comes with installation CD but you can download drivers before-hand onto a flash drive if you don't have an optical drive. At first look, didn't have to reinstall windows but then windows didn't like the hardware change and I ended up having to reinstall.

One of the ram cards that came from the old board that this board was bought to replace refuses to seat in the board properly. Had difficulty getting a ram card in the other memory slot, for what ever reason the other memory slot simply WOULD NOT let the second memory card I had seat into it, I tried unmounting it and remounting it, and even sliding it in at an angle but the ram card would not fully seat at all. Both ram cards are the same and this board is currently utilizing only one of them because of this issue. When this happened I decided to try and boot the board to post with just the one ram card. The board posted fine and it posted with the latest bios, So I guess I will see how well it works despite one ram slot not working properly, will update later. UPDATE: I managed to get the other ram card by sanding down it's edges and then trying to fit it into the board's ram slot, it is now using boht ram cards decently well. My only quirp about it's ram utilization now is that it doesn't offer manual voltage control over the ram cards. Other than that the board seems to operate flawlessly on the software side.

Pretty good for the price, worth every cent, bought this as part of a little gaming build for my son, The AMD A Series works flawlessly with this mobo. About the materials used on this, pretty good quality over everything. Just got it yesterday, so, wait a little bit for a better review. Having no more to say, a little motherboard with lots of features, quality materials and a pretty good design, It works.

It's a good motherboard but watch buying the refurbished... they list them as A68Hi ac's which are wifi models but the one i recieved was a A68Hi which is w/o wifi. Reading through some of the reviews seems that some may have gotten the wifi one... i did not however.. :( Felt a bit jipped but other than that the mother board works flawlessly. It's great..

Buena placa madre, se ve de buena calidad, en pleno 2021 la compré para un Athlon 845 que tenía guardado, así que ya tengo una PC funcional a la cual le agregué una GT 1030 y funciona de maravilla. El precio fue de mil pesos. El envío fue correcto y antes de la fecha fijada llegó.

Tested the motherboard with A6 7400K. this thing can overclock easily within the BIOS. Do watch out for the temperature, as these chips do run hot. Choose a good aftermarket cooler if you do intend to overclock... The motherboard boots instantly, no problems installing OS. The manual is easy and clear to understand, though I didn't use it since I build computers many times and know what to do. A fellow buyer said that the RAM cannot run at 2133Mhz as advertised. I wonder did he/she adjust the speed and timings in the BIOS. The RAM should have X.M.P (Intel eXtreme Memory Profile). You need to manually adjust that timing within the BIOS, under the OC section, and one should find Intel extreme memory profile. Click on it to activate the XMP profile of the RAM, usually 1-2 options. After rebooting, the RAM should be running at its advertised speed. Use CPU-Z to check. There are some cheaper ones out there, but never had any problems with MSI products, so I chose this for value and for looks. It comes with red LED at the back of the motherboard. Recommended for other buyers.

Bios was enough to melt my heart, cool RED led makes it a hardcore gaming mobo!! just go for it, its also support dual gfx, budget gamers!! this is obviously for us!

La placa base es excelente. Ningunas pretensiones. Es muy contento.

Works great.
