ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0, AMD 990FX Motherboard - Socket AM3

The Asus EPU (Energy Processing Unit) baptized energy management system recognizes the interplay of the two intelligent processors DIGI + VRM system independently, the current system load and automatically in real time the current consumption of critical components, to save as active power and money.
 
The existing PCIe port is used with its 16 lanes used to accommodate even the most high-end cars pixels, regardless of whether they are models from NVIDIA or AMD. If the motherboard with multi-GPU CrossFireX or SLI solutions, such as playing together, the two x16 ports, each with eight lanes are connected. As on the board similar to the 970-chipset from AMD not an integrated graphics chip is present, should be made by use of the slot.
 
Through a asmedia controllers are the Asus board found four USB 3.0 slots available. This makes it possible to transfer data up to ten times faster, than was the case with USB 2.0, ie with 4.8 GB / s Two are mounted on the rear panel, two are connected internally. It also features a M5A99FX via a standard eSATA port.
 
Due to the high definition audio chip allows the user to 8-channel HD sound to enjoy, thanks to S / PDIF digital quality even with DTS support. The Audio-I/O-Buchsen recognize their own, what kind of peripherals will be connected and hence a eliminates tedious searching for the correct input or output.
 
Thanks to Asus TurboV come overclockers not too short. The easy to use OC tool allows you to change in real-time clock speeds and voltages, without having to restart it the computer or operating system from scratch. Here are just a few clicks. Successfully tested values can then be immortalized in profiles and provide quick access to any point in time. For the procedure even easier to make the motherboard, Asus has also an auto-tuning mode donated, the values are automatically checked for their stability toward.
 
With ASUS UEFI provides the user with the first operable M5A99FX mouse graphical BIOS interface. BIOS updates are on the Asus motherboard a breeze. Even before the OS loads, can be started using a USB flash drive, the EZ-Flash 2 tool and soon after the new motherboard software finds its way onto the chip.
 
Notes: To support the latest CPUs, is necessary if a BIOS update.
 Operation outside of the manufacturers specifications at your own risk and is associated with a loss of warranty.
