Today we're looking at two mainstream AMD motherboards from ASUS: the M5A97 EVO and the M5A99X EVO. They're very similar in their features and capabilities, but do have some distinct differences that can appeal to a good range of needs. Both come with fantastic prices and both come with deceptively strong overclocking abilities. How about 4.7GHz on a $120 board? Hellya.

Kevin, I had a blast with the entire Asus line up from the Crossfire V, Sabertooth, M5A99X/997 EVO. Remember, the UEFI bios is both keyboard and mouse controlled also......Asus by far has the best line of AMD/ Bulldozer ready boards on the market and they cover all price ranges. I would recommend them to anyone.......![]()

Really a great review on those boards Jim, I simply love what they have done with the bios!
with 3.0 becoming the norm I wonder if and when will see a header on the motherboard and not just in the I/O panel.
