From the onboard AMD SB 950 there are five internal SATA III 6.0gbps ports. ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2 Expansion Slotsįor drive connectivity, ASUS provides seven internal SATA ports. ASUS spaces the PCIe slots so that three of them can easily be used for dual expansion slot GPUs. In terms of expansion, the ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 has four PCIe 2.0 x16 physical slots (2x x16 electrical and 2x x4 electrical), one PCIe x1 slot and a legacy PCI slot. As one can see on the quick spec summary below, the board supports not just non-ECC unbuffered DIMMs but also ECC DIMMs. Overall the area around the CPU should easily fit most heatsinks and closed loop watercooling setups. These cool a digital 6 + 2 phase CPU power delivery mechanism and a dual phase memory power delivery system. The CPU area is flanked by large VRM heatsinks that are tapered to allow for the fitment of large heatsinks in the CPU socket area. The overall color scheme and layout is what we have grown accustomed to with current generation ASUS motherboards.

That means that it works in virtually every mid and full tower chassis, as well as in most server chassis in the event you ever wanted to re-purpose the motherboard a few years down the line. The ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 is a standard ATX size motherboard. Overall a fairly standard configuration for the board.

OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, Ubuntu 12.04 Server.Power Supply: Corsair AX750 750w 80Plus Gold PSU.ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 Test Configurationįor this test we will use a typical workstation configuration. Let’s take a look at what the ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 has to offer. The ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 is therefore built to take some ASUS exclusive features and apply them to the socket AM3+ segment. Conversely, the socket AM3+ chips do not have onboard GPUs and therefore will normally be used with external graphics.
A major difference is that the FM2 is aimed squarely at the lower cost segment where dedicated GPUs are unlikely to be utilized because the chips support onboard graphics. AMD’s desktop platforms, above the very low power segment, are segmented into two main socket types, socket AM3/ AM3+ and the FM2 socket. The ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 is an ATX socket AM3+ motherboard with lots of bells and whistles. Today we are looking at the AMD side of things, specifically with an AM3+ motherboard from ASUS.
