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

Everything works as expected. The CPU VRM gets a bit warm, but that's quite common with AMD boards. It's cooler than my previous AMD 970 motherboard which throttled the CPU when pushed. an inch larger than the motherboard box. And ZERO padding, bubble wrap and air cushions. That was a problem because when the person delivered it to me, he was moving a lot in the box causing him to drop it. I did almost exactly the same thing, so I don't feel angry with the courier. This was mainly due to the poor packaging. I wanted to send it back immediately but there was no seal, no box, no packaging for the motherboard. So I checked it out, stress tested everything and everything works as it should. But I just want others to know it's possible. Hold it securely with both hands, although I think anyone would.
