Packaging & First Look

On the front of the box we have an illustration of ASRocks 555 moniker with 5 x LAN speed, 5 x USB speed and 5 x system speeds. The main part of the box is presented in a dark grey colour with the model number, the general AMD information logos and notes that the board is Windows 8 ready.



As we take a look at the rear, we are greeted with a very detailed list of specifications and features that the motherboard has. Again like the front we have that two tone blackish grey colour with yellowish highlights on the illustrations.



The ASRock FM2A85X-ITX comes bundled with a driver and utilities disc, quick installation manual, 4 black USB cables and as always the rear I/O shield.



From a quick first glance you can see the PCB is a medium shade of brown, and being in ITX form factor, has only 2 dimm slots. We have 4+2 power phases just underneath the CPU and have 7 SATA3 connections which we think is fantastic, not a single SATA2 port in sight. We also have 1 x PCI-EX 2.0 x 16 port for supported and compatible graphics cards.
