ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
  • Dual Intelligent Processors 3
  • Remote GO!
  • Supports (dual) NVIDIA SLI / AMD CrossFireX graphics configurations
  • Network iControl
  • USB 3.0 Boost

Pros:

This is a GREAT motherboard. I bought this to replace my Gigabyte board of the same chipset because Gigabyte's had way too many issues.. This one is not only impressive in how it works and the features it provides, but as a builder, the BIOS menus are far superior than others I've encountered. Simple settings and complex settings made for the beginner builder and the advanced builder. The audio options with this board are also impressive hooked to a custom 5.1 surround via optical.

Cons:

There is only one con with this board. I encountered an issue with my HDD thinking it was bad as it would blue screen my PC, and even SeaTools from Seagate read the HDD as bad. However, this was not an HDD failure, it was a bad port on the motherboard itself. It's not worth replacing the entire board at this time, I may RMA it at a later date IF I would need that one port. Kind of a disappointment for an ASUS board, but it's nothing compared to the vast issues I had with Gigabyte's board.

Overall Review:

Overall I would recommend this board to any beginner or advanced builder. It's a great product even with the one bad port. Very impressed up front with this board :)
