Test: MSI A75MA-G55 bundkort

Konklusion

MSI A75MA-G55 er det første bundkort vi har fået kigget på til AMD nye LIano platform. Generelt så synes det at fungerer ret godt, men der er jo heller ikke ret meget der kan gå galt, for funktionerne er minimale. Det der udskiller bundkortet fra andre er vel det at ens telefon kan lades selv om systemet er slukket.

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Bundkortet benytter sig af AMD nye LIano platform, men der mangler alligevel noget. Der er ikke smidt ret mange funktioner i her, men der er dog mulighed for at lade ens telefon via USB porten selvom systemet er slukket.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 4
Der følger en god bundle med hvor hvad man skal bruge er der, og lidt mere til. De kabel adaptere der er med er rigtig gode at have, og manualen er generelt rigtig god.

Design/Layout - 4
Bundkortet er ikke beregnet til at skulle have de helt store kølere på sig. Min Danamics LMX køler er en af de helt store, og den havde meget svært ved at være der, og RAM skulle installeres først inden køleren kom på, ellers ville det ikke være muligt at få RAM sat i. SATA porte er placeret meget hensigtsmæssigt, og generelt virker layoutet til at være fint.

Software/BIOS - 3
Her vil jeg ikke give mere end 3. Grunden er at softwaren der medfølger er ret tynd. BIOSen virker rimelig habil, der mangler dog stadig finpusninger der kan laves hist og her. Musen hakker så meget at man ikke gider bruge den, og der kan ikke overclockes med den nuværende BIOS. Men de småting bliver helt sikkert lavet og så virker kortet til at være rigtig godt.

Ydelse - 4
Da vi ikke rigtig har testet andre bundkort til LIano kan der ikke rigtig skrives noget om ydelsen, så her kan der kun gives point for selve platformen, og her virker der til at være god knald på. Ydelsen kan ikke hamle helt op med Sandy Bridge, men prisen er også en hel del under Intels platform.

Pris - 4
Prisen er sat til omkring 75 euro, hvilket er cirka 550kr. Denne pris virker meget rimelig. Samlet set så kan CPU og bundkort erhverves for omkring 1250kr. og da der følger grafikchip med, er dette jo en kanon billig platform med masser af ydelse for pengene.

UK summary

MSI A75MA-G55 is the first motherboard we have looked at for the new AMD platform LIano. Generally it seems to work pretty well, but there is not much that can go wrong, because the features are minimal. What separates the motherboard itself from other is probably the feature that allows you to charger your phone while the system is off.

Innovation/Technology - 4
The motherboard uses AMD newest platform, LIano, but there is still something which is missing. There is not many features on this board, but there is the opportunity to let your phone be charged via a USB port when the system is off.

Bundle/Accessories - 4
The bundle is quite good. There is what you need, and a bit more. The cable adapters are very good to have, and the manual is generally very good.

Design/Layout - 4
The motherboard is not designed to have the huge coolers on it. My Danamics LMX cooler is one of the biggest, and it was very hard to get it to fit, and the RAM modules should be installed before the cooler, else it was not possible to install them. The SATA ports are located very good and the general layout seems to be fine.

Software/BIOS - 3
Here I will not give more than 3. The reason is that the software included is pretty slim. The BIOS works reasonably competent, but it still needs a bit tweaking. The mouse is lacking when moving it and that makes you not want to use it, and there is no possibility of overclocking, yet. But those little things will definitely get fixed and then this board will be really good.

Performance - 4
Since we have not really tested other motherboards for the LIano platform I can not really write anything about the performance, so the given points is for the platform itself, and here it seems to be quite good. The performance can not compete 100% with Sandy Bridge, but the price i also quite a bit below Intels platform.

Price - 4
The price is set at around 75 euros, which is about 550kr. This price seems very reasonable. Overall, the CPU and motherboard can be purchased for around 1250kr. and that includes a graphics chip, so in general this surely is a cheap platform with plenty of performance for the money.
