The compare function on the ASUS website is rubbish. Is there a simple guide to the different boards? I am looking for an 85x FM2 board to (mildly) overclock and am trying to work out if it is worth spending circa £20 more on the Pro.

Thanks

Out of the three, you want to get the PRO edition as it has the superior ALC892 Audio CODEC comparing to inferior ALC887 Audio CODEC in the other boards, Also it has 4 RAM slots that can give you much room for upgrade and finally it has Support for DisplayPort which others don't have.

But for OC you don't want to get any of the three as the obviously superior PRO has a 4 +2 Phase Power Design that is bad and could fry your MB when OC.

I'd recommend you to get the Asus F2A85-V Pro (Tom's approved ) as it has all superior features plus a 6+2 Phase Power Design that gives you plenty of room for OC
