4 out of 5 eggsGreat consumer mobo

Pros: Worked out of the box, haven't had any problems for almost 1 year. The UEFI bios works GREAT!

Cons: My only complaint is the AI Suite II & lack of USB 3.0 ports. I ended up uninstall a long list of features in AI Suite II and kept a few "vital" ones to prevent it from slowly loading at windows start.

Other Thoughts: SPECS:

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent board

Pros: Cheap with a lot of features. Coming from an MSI board the amount of features and comparability is phenomenal. The fast boot is really nice because it still allows you to use your keyboard unlike other boards (cough msi). Has fan profiles for a quiet PC which is a huge plus for me. Has support for Intel XMP which is awesome. I will never get anything but ASUS for future motherboard purchases and recommendations.

Cons: The color isn't the greatest but I can't remove an egg because its purely aesthetic. CPU socket gets a bit warm with an overclocked FX.

Other Thoughts: Was able to overclock my FX-8320 to 4.4ghz with 1.38 vcore. Lowered my cpu socket temp by placing a fan behind motherboard cutout in case.

4 out of 5 eggsAsus MoBo M5A99FX Review

Pros: - Smaller Motherboard
- USB 3.0
- 3 PCIe slots
- Lots of fan connections
- Price

Cons: - Terrible placing of the MoBo power connectors.

Other Thoughts: Great mother board, great price, perfect for my system.

My only complaint is why someone put the power connection to the processor at the very top. I had to run a cable around my graphics card and stretch it to the top right of the board (next to the onboard usb, network, etc) - Minus an egg

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Full support for ECC RAM with FX-8370. Fast boot even with a bunch of SAS cards with ROMs that take forever to initialize on other boards.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: It would be nice to have the eSATA port come off the ASM-1061 controller in stead of the SB950. The way it is now the first 4 SATA ports comes from the SB950, the next two come from the ASM-1061, then the lone surface port and the eSATA are from the SB950.

1 out of 5 eggsWould have been good if it actually worked

Pros: -Preforms fairly well for the price
-Lots of nice features

Cons: -First one broke within 30 min of usage.
-Second one broke less than a month after with the same problem.

Other Thoughts: Broke on me not just once but TWICE. The first one I had broke within 30 minutes of putting my computer together. The second one I got caused my computer to randomly turn off on me until it simply broke and I've owned it for less than a month. (Note: This issue was not due to overheating, the CPU temp stayed at 57 degrees Celsius under full load.)
My recommendation is to just get a more reliable motherboard rather than going with this one.

3 out of 5 eggsDefective Board

Pros: Good Bios software included, runs fast. All i can say now....see Cons

Cons: Got this to replace a Gigabyte motherboard that crapped out after 15 months. Connection ports (USB, Lan, Audio, Etc.) didn't line up with bezel plate in back, had to find some washers to extend board higher up to line up to bezel. Didn't recognize ethernet cable when plugged in, USB 3.0 didn't work. Overall, very disappointed with quality control from ASUS. Returned for replacement...Hoping I'll have better luck when the replacement comes back, but now I'm just waiting. I'll update once I get the new board up and running. Right now, lucky to get 3 eggs. Wonder if I'll have time to get rebate. At least it'll help with cost to ship back for replacement!

Other Thoughts: Really wondering if this was a NEW board or if ASUS is refurbishing and selling as new to Neweegg

5 out of 5 eggsAmazing Board

Pros: Awesome motherboard for gaming and overclocking!

Cons: No current cons just the colors. I wish it was black and red or something like that.

Other Thoughts: Make sure you update your bios!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Board

Pros: Good Aesthetic. Awesome Asus utilities. Nice looking UEFI BIOS.

Cons: Doesn't recognize one of my case fans, even though it is plugged in to one of the motherboard ports (fan runs according to fan profile oddly enough, but the fan is listed a N/A and greyed out in the BIOS and various utilities).

1 out of 5 eggsBad Overclocker

Pros: Been overclocking for 25+yrs I am using a FX 8320, GSkill RipJawsX 1600 2x4gb sticks, GTX 680 SC And this M5A99FXPRO R2.0 I can't get this board to overclock at all. So far i have hit 3.7GHz and the 8320 at stock runs at 3.5Ghz so yeah this board sucks atm. I am using the latest BIOS 2301. Using my old board a ASUS M5A88 -V EVO I COULD HIT 4.4GHz on the same FX 8320 if i would have know that i would have never bopught this board. I save up and waited for a long long time to buy this board because i though it would have been a big step up from the 880 chipset i was using.

Cons: Very bad overclocker, buy another board. My 880 chipset was 5x better then this board and i was very dissapointed

Other Thoughts: Been overclocking for 25+yrs I am using a FX 8320, GSkill RipJawsX 1600 2x4gb sticks, GTX 680 SC And this M5A99FXPRO R2.0 I can't get this board to overclock at all. So far i have hit 3.7GHz and the 8320 at stock runs at 3.5Ghz so yeah this board sucks atm. I am using the latest BIOS 2301.

I save up and waited for a long long time to buy this board because i though it would have been a big step up from the 880 chipset i was using. No matter what i do or what OC setting i use the M5A99FX PRO REVERTS BACK TO STOCK BIOS SETTINGS!!!!!!!.

5 out of 5 eggsAsus FTW

Pros: Been an Asus fan-boy since I could remember and this motherboard is another reason why I continue to be. Price isn't too friendly but the performance and stability makes it under priced. All the overclocking abilities and all the bells and whistles makes this motherboard fun to play with. My FX-8350 loves this board. Looks pretty.

Cons: Doesn't drive me to work... yet.
