When the new AMD A-series APU's launched we first had the chance to look at the ASUS F1A75-M Pro micro-ATX motherboard. Today we have the opportunity to look at what essentially the big brother, the ASUS F1A75-V Pro. When the ASUS F1A75-M Pro first launched, it was available for $119.99 plus shipping, though that price has dropped and it is now available for $98.99 with free shipping. Today we can pick up the full ATX ASUS F1A75-V Pro for only $119.99 with free shipping. You have to love the "penalty" for being an early adopter! There is only a couple of differences between the ASUS F1A75-M Pro and the F1A75-V Pro that we are looking at today. The first and most obvious difference between the motherboards is the size of the PCB. The F1A75-M Pro is a mATX motherboard while the F1A75-V Pro is a full ATX form factor motherboard. The larger PCB gives ASUS much more room to work with, in fact the available real estate on the ASUS F1A75-V Pro is 131% of the mATX form factor. ASUS took advantage of the increased real estate on the F1A75-V Pro by adding a second PCIe x1 slot and another pair of PCI slots. There is no shortage of features on the ASUS F1A75-V Pro. The F1A75-V Pro utilizes ASUS's Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM. The "Dual Intelligent Processors 2" portion of that technology is based around two separate onboard chips. The first of these chips is the TPU (TurboV Processing Unit). The TPU offers precise voltage control and advanced monitoring through the ASUS auto tune, and TurboV functions. The second of the chips is the EPU (Energy Processing Unit). The EPU helps conserve system power by monitoring real time system loads and intelligently moderating power consumption. The EPU can also keep the system quiet by monitoring temperatures and fan speeds. The DIGI+ VRM is completely digital and eliminates the digital to analog conversion lag.
