Product Description

Product Description

The world’s first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered twin onboard chips - TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) and EPU (Energy Processing Unit). Third generation Dual Intelligent Processors with New DIGI+ Power Control provides a total CPU, memory and SMART DIGI+ Key profile tuning digital power solution, which includes two digital voltage controllers allowing ultra-precise DRAM tuning in addition to ultra-precise CPU voltage control - a first on the AMD platform. It's upgraded with one-click extreme performance optimization with the user-friendly AI Suite II utility. This evolution of innovative and industry-leading ASUS technology provides super-accurate voltage tuning for better efficiency, stability and performance.

The New DIGI+ Power Control design with two digital voltage controllers upgrades motherboard power delivery to an overall solution on AMD AM3+ motherboards, including all-new DRAM controllers that offers ultra-precise memory tuning in addition to ultra-precise CPU voltage control. This evolution of innovative, industry-leading ASUS technology provides the best in class control for better efficiency, stability and performance.

With programmable digital controllers onboard, users can adjust CPU and DRAM voltage and VRM switching frequencies for various overclocking scenarios. New DRAM tuning possibilities make the most of DDR3 memory for better performance with CPU/NB load line calibration and 30% more DRAM current capacity. Thanks to a slew of power options teamed with an extensive and intuitive UEFI BIOS, overclocking very large memory setups is no more difficult than mainstream motherboards.

Unleash your performance with ASUS AI Suite II utility. The TPU chip offers precise voltage control and advanced monitoring through Auto Tuning and TurboV functions. Auto Tuning offers a user friendly way to automatically optimize the system for fast, yet stable clock speeds, while TurboV enables unlimited freedom to adjust CPU frequencies and ratios for optimized performance in diverse situations.

Tap into the world's first real-time PC power saving chip through AI Suite II utility. Get total system-wide energy optimization by automatically detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power consumption. This also reduces fan noise and extends component longevity!

New ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), the latest USB 3.0 standard. With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device's transmission speed is significantly increased up to 170%, adding to an already impressive fast USB 3.0 transfer speed. ASUS software automatically accelerates data speeds for compatible USB 3.0 peripherals without the need for any user interaction.

Good board and an upgrade from an older AM2+ asus one for me.

Plenty of expansion slots, and decent placement of them so the inside of my case doesn't look like spaghetti junction any more!

You get 2 x USB 3 ports on the back of the board and a connector on the board to add a few more - Shame they don't supply the lead and the header with the board though!

The BIOS is also the newer UEFI type which can cause problems if you don't know what you're doing - Do your homework if you've never used this type before or you'll be scratching your head or thinking the board is broken when it isn't!

What else.. Oh, no IDE connectors on this board so if you still have any of those drives floating about, you'll either have to get an expansion board or transfer the data to another drive.

So far, the board is extremely stable. I run with AMD cool n quiet enable along with turbo which all works all ok.

Important thing to do after getting this board - Update the bios to the latest version (either old school way or through the Asus Live program) and Get the latest drivers for the on-board network controller as the driver that is supplied causes stupidly high latency issues! This is more noticeable is you use one of the newer generation of GFX cards with on-board audio and not the motherboards audio.

This motherboard is amazing, its heavy which is a good sign. Its packed with soo many features that I still have to discover. there are 3 PCIe Slots which is Excellent. all the connections are located in a perfect area for easy cable management. There are a total of 5 PWM fan connectors which is VERY GOOD. I've connected 4 fans including the CPU Fan (arctic cooling F12 120mm Case Fans). If you use the bundled fan xpert software from asus these fans are controlled from within windows.

I had to pick between many manufacturers and having previously owned a faulty motherboard from ASUS, as it was out of warranty they didn't help much, though i felt they should have at least offered a payed repair. I've now looked past this with this motherboard. I'm really glad I bought this motherboard and non of the motherboards from MSI, ASROCK or GIGABYTE or other manufacturers as this comes with lots of bundled software and features.

I installed this inside my XIGMATEK Asgard Case, with 2 X 4GB Corsair Vengeance ram, AMD Phenom ii 965 BE, arctic cooling freezer 13 pro, ASUS Radeon 6670 and a 600W OCZ ModXstream PSU. All work amazing with no blue screens, errors etc. Also I purchased all these from Amazon apart from the Case and Graphics card.

SO BUY IT!

As for the delivery, Amazon shipped it through Royal Mail on free super saver delivery (together with an SSD bought in the same shipment) and it arrived 2 days before the estimate shown in the email.

The board, Marvellous.
Bought it as a replacement for an M4A78 board to run a few games on, and works like a dream, this board was chosen over a more basic board in the range (M5A97 EVO r2.0...this is not a bad board either!) reason? the AMD 990X chipset allows for the PCIe 2.0 x16 slots to run at x16, perfect for cross firing GPUs (the 970 can only really run one GPU) the external sata ports are a nice addition too.

For those new to PC building, take note, this board does not have on board graphics, and so must use a GPU

For those who know a little more about PC building, the board has a good number of switches and buttons to enable/disable EPU and TPU and check the status of various components (the Mem OK button for example, checks the compatibility of the installed RAM chips)

its worth checking the board before you buy one so here is a link to the board on the manufacturers website:[...]
you can check the specs and compatible CPU's/ RAM from that page.

cons: none so far

This formed the heart of my new counter build, excellent packaging and bundled with 4 sata cables, software, I/O panel, comprehensive manual. As for the board itself, fitted into my Zalman case no problem, all the connections we well marked and easy to access. Has been running windows 8 since the release date fine. No problems so far, even as a novice upgraded the BIOS using their included software, went well, no issues. This was my first venture into a self build and I am pleased with the level of features/ affordability. It may not be the cheapest or the most expensive but if you run online games, surf, process photos and video on a home user basis this will work well.

I always believe that ASUS is the best brand out there , ASUS is innovative company and provides high end futures at affordable prices.

Its very strong motherboard with many many futures, you can always check asus official site to see the long list of the futures that they are included in this motherboard and you cant go wrong purchasing it.

It has handle my high overclock on the FX-8350 without issues 1 month so far, it works flawless.

I want to point this future cuz it came really handy after i purchased my Siberia V2 headset from Steelseries, the motherboard futures the surround sound with Ultra PC II , that future makes your stereo headset to a surround headset 5.1 this is awesome future if u play games or watching movies, you feel where the sound comes from. I pint point this cuz more expensive motherboard like Sabertooth doesnt have this future and it costs 50pounds more, great isnt it? You have a cheaper motherboard witch has more usefull utilities and possibilites from other way more expensive mobos.

Im very very happy with this purchase i love the blue theme it has, and its a rly strong mobo that handles high overclock and gives me stability to anything i do so far.

Thanks amazon and great job to ASUS for creating this motherboard.

I wish you all a wonderfull day and happy shopping!
