Superb mobo

This one is a superb motherboard. The UEFI BIOS and the features like mouse controlled BIOS tweaking makes this an ideal mobo for the price. I was really searching for the "EVO" or "PRO" version of this mobo which has some extra ports and some extras, since those are not available here in flipkart I went for this one.

Pros:-
-Asus AI Suite has features like FanXpert which lets you adjust the fan speed according to your taste
-TurboVevo overclocks the configuration without any effort from the...

A good motherprice at a good price.

This motherboard from ASUS is the entry level motherboard in the 900 series chipset category. It supports all of the new AMD bulldozer processors, supports crossfire, has a new GUI based BIOS,etc. If you are looking for a good gaming motherboard with a decent price, this one is the answer. Also, you will need to have a graphics card, as this one does not have any. Finally, a good deal from Flipkart.

Excellent motherboard!!

This is an amazing motherboard with lot of options in bios as well as on-board (LED checks).

The only doubt I had was if it will work with "AMD 3.5 GHz FX 8320 8 Core Processor Black Edition", since most reviews I read pointed out that it draws lot of power and it goes for a toast with the stock fan provided.

It works like a breeze with with the stock fan that comes with it - please note that I am not an over-clocker (not yet, may be in future if the rig feels slow).

I've a 500W SMPS and i...

The BEST Mobo for AMD FX

Im a gamer. I bought AMD FX 8350 8cores. And I purchased this motherboard. Specially for playing Battlefield 4.

This mobo runs perfect, great ventilation and good space. Even my AMD HD6870 fits perfect. This comes with 3 USB3 ports and 6 normal USB ports.

Mobo has UEFI BIOS, easy to update too.

ASUS M5A97 Product review

A very good product from ASUS. The motherboard comes with a AMD 9-series chipset, with which I used a Radeon HD 6750 2GB DDR3 card, with a AMD Phenom II X6 1090t processor(with WEI of 7.5), coupled with 8GB DDR3 @1333MHz. This motherboard, when combined with any good 6000-series, or 5000-series Radeon graphics card, gives outstanding performance.
Overall, a very good buy.

ABOUT 5000 n above mobo's

first i read the customers reviews of this board.
This board is meant to run dual AMD RADEON graphic cards in crossfire X.
If u r having only a single HD 7770 or 7850 with a dual phenom X2 550 3.4GHz dual core.
what's the point of buying this above 5000 bucks board if u r running a dual core with a mid range gpu.
it's recommended to use phenom 2 X4 quadcore with 3.2Ghz with crossfire enabled cards like dual 7770's or 6850's for media and content creation,professional gaming.
if u got only a s...
