  • Product details

Enjoy great computer power with the Asus M5A99X EVO AMD 990X + SB950 ATX Motherboard!

Dual intelligent processors

The M5A99X EVO is compatible with AM3+ sockets, and it's also backwards compatible with AM3 sockets. There are two onboard chips; the TPU and EPU. The TPU (Turbo Processing Unit) helps with overclocking and provides a performance boost, whilst the Energy Processing Unit (EPU) allows for system energy saving and power management.

It's easy to supervise overclocking, voltage and sensor readings and energy management thanks to Asus' AI Suite II, helping you efficiently manage your PC!

Overclocking made easy!

There's also improved overclocking capabilities thanks to the VRM Power Delivery that allows users to precisely adjust and control the BIOS settings whilst the UEFI BIOS provides a user-friendly interface, so you have lots of control! EZ Mode includes a drag-and-drop feature that allows easy management, but there's also an advanced mode for more experienced users.

The result of the DIGI+ VRM design is reduced lag and greater control of power.

You'll be able to achieve extreme but stable overclocking with the AutoSystem Level Up technology, helping to provide great overclocking capabilities!

Give your PC a boost with the Asus M5A99X EVO AMD 990X + SB950 ATX Motherboard!
