About This Product
The ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 is an ATX AM3+ motherboard designed for AMD FX processors. It offers solid performance for its platform, suitable for general computing and moderate gaming when paired with a capable CPU and GPU.

- Good power delivery for FX CPUs
- Supports up to 32GB DDR3 RAM
- Multiple PCIe 2.0 slots
Cons
- Outdated AM3+ socket
- DDR3 memory is slower than DDR4/DDR5
- Lacks modern connectivity like USB 3.1/3.2
