Biostar A68N-5000

CPU onboard
A68N-5000 Ver. 6.x


On board AMD Fusion APU A4-5000 Quad-Core processor

Have anyone used this board or anything same as this in gaming?
Not necessarily those graphic hungry games but for games like Dota 2 or LOL?
With its size I could have myself a portable gaming console that I could bring to
my grandmas house during the weekend LOL

I just looked at the specs and sadly I don't think you can get much gaming performance out of this. It has a built in processor that benchmarks around the Intel core 2 duo E8300 so not much gaming horsepower there and I couldn't find how much RAM it supports but I would guess maybe 2x4gb sticks. If gaming is what you're after I don't think this is the way to go. If you let me know your budget I would be happy to try and help you pick out some parts for a decent gaming PC

I guess it is intended for having a very small build. An HTPC with light gaming maybe.
The bundle costs $70, pretty cheap for a cpu and motherboard combo.

Yeah thats more of a HTPC, you might be able to do games like League of Legends on Low/Medium but you're not going to get lot of gaming performance from it

Probably Dota 2 only and watching stuff. Not expecting anything powerful with it, just want a build so small and cheap.

Never played Dota or benched it for someone, but the APUs ive built benched okay in LoL.. If you have a microcenter near you. Id check there before buying off newegg, they will give you a 40 dollar discount on motherboards if you buy a processor from them.

Also have the benefit if something goes wrong you can return it and not do the whole god awful RMA-Return process

[Edit:] oh im guessing you're european so haha no microcenter for you 🙁
