About This Product
The ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA is an ATX motherboard for AMD AM3+ CPUs, supporting up to 32GB DDR3 RAM at 2133MHz. It offers two PCIe x16 slots for graphics cards and a single M.2 slot for NVMe storage, which is uncommon for this older platform. This board is suitable for budget gaming or general-purpose builds using legacy AMD processors, but its performance will be limited by the AM3+ architecture compared to modern platforms.
Pros
- Integrated M.2 slot for NVMe storage
- Dual PCIe x16 slots for multi-GPU
- USB 3.2 Gen1 header included
- Robust power delivery for AM3+ CPUs
Cons
- Limited to older DDR3 memory
- AM3+ platform is outdated
