Review on 💻 ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 AM3+ Motherboard - AMD 990X, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, ATX by Brett Blazis

This is a solid board with excellent documentation. I got it for an overhaul and previously used an M5A99FX Pro R2.0 (cousin, almost identical) in a build about 5 years ago and it still works. Also, this board is pretty old and backwards compatible with the 6-core Phenom II I have laying around, and also works with FX chips. This board features an ASUS Q connector that allows you to connect all front LEDs and the power button. Connected to a connector on the board, great convenience. My only disappointment is that most of the software isn't downloadable (Win 10) but it works fine on an older Pro R2.0. I haven't overclocked it yet (the stock cooler still works), but it looks simple enough from the BIOS. Overall this is a solid board that is very easy to use but is old and hard to find. In my opinion you can't go wrong with ASUS boards.
