Review on πŸ’» ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 AM3+ Motherboard - AMD 990X, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, ATX by Paul Powell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

great board - Internal components

Uses this motherboard with the addition of ASUS Black 8 cores 4.2 gigabytes. I love this board. I've got about $500 in my box with a 280GB SSD and 16GB or RAM, and it smokes some of my $2000 box friends. The features included in this board make it a great option. Bios recovery via USB is just awesome and anyone who has bricked their machine before will appreciate this feature. The bundled ASUS system tools work well and offer access that novices would never have had before. Overclocking with this board is very easy as the BIOS is probably one of the easiest to use I've seen. If you are unfamiliar with networks and want to access your computer remotely, there is a built-in option that works with the free app and makes it reliable.
