As you might infer from the name, the ASUS B85M-Gamer is a gaming-featured motherboard aimed at the small form factor, budget buyer. Typically the B85M-Gamer buyer will be looking to pair with an Intel Pentium, Core i3 and entry-i5 chip to provide great price:performance and efficiency, while also negating the need for an overclocking chipset.
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.
