Description
As you might infer from the name, the ASUS B85M-Gamer is a gaming-featured motherboard aimed at the small form factor, budget buyer. The B85 chipset sits between the H97 and H81 series Intel chipsets, and while technically B denotes 'business', to date the B85 has impressed reviewers in its price: performance credentials for home users(/gamers) as well.
The B85M-Gamer has a black PCB with a flash of red along the heatsink and on the SupremeFX 'redline' to accentuate the look. LANGuard and Intel Gigabit Ethernet also features from the ROG stock. The high-quality audio has the same SupremeFX shielding technology, ELNA premium audio capacitors and headphone amp of its ROG and Pro Gamer brothers to yield 115dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) stereo output.
