Buying a new motherboard GA-F2A68HM-DS2 v1.0

[zarksy]

Hi all

I have ordered a GA-F2A68HM-DS2 v1.0 motherboard, is the v1.0 gonna be fine? Cuz I saw a v1.1 of this same mb. But I picked the v1.0 cuz of the slightly lower price and the delivery is quite cheaper, so I save like 7$.

What does this board have to do?
Why are you getting this?
Is this for a new build?
Is this a replacement?

To replace my old dead Asrock motherboard fm2a55m-vg3. It will be for normal use with A8-6600K APU, Ram: 2GB Geil 1600mhz+4GB Geil 1600mhz. Also will be using a GPU Palit GT 730 GDDR5 2GB 64-bit, will be overclocking only the GT 730 with Palit ThunderMaster, so I won't overclock anything from the motherboard.

The only difference I see is a newer version of the bios. Since your A8 is from the 6000 series this won't matter.
