    First of all I would like to say thank you ASUS for selling such a great board and revisiting this old chip-set to help us get new features.The board is Great! I just upgraded from a Asrock Extreme 3 r2.0 its a night and day difference between these boards. The Pro 970 Gaming Aura has proven itself to be a great overclocking board. I've only had a it a couple days and i cant stop looking at my build its so great looking and faster then ever before. This board uses a 7+1 power phase not a 8+1 do not let that discourage you from buying this. ASUS did this because they took things from what they know now and applied them to this board you get super clean power from the VRM and the VRM stay pretty cold depending on what your using for cooling the board.The look of this board is great and can only really be appreciated at night in person. I took a few pictures so i could show off my new components the 1070 SC from EVGA compliments this really good. I cant wait for AMD ZEN to come out i will be buying ASUS again no doubt about that. If you are looking for a cheaper build and like AMD CPU’s then look no further you wont be mad about the choice. If you have a AMD FX 9590 this I will work just make sure you have a nice big case with lots of air! You will need to keep everything cold not just the CPU. I installed all the aus programs from the website at 1st but deleted about 90% of them as I don’t really need them for overclocking or webstorage. If you don’t want to BIOS Overclock Asus TurboV will let you OC your CPU one core at a time if you want plus its safe if it fails you will default to last saved OC or stock if you have not saved a new OC profile. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I’am have fun!

    5.0 out of 5 stars great motherboard just buy it when on sale tho
    Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2017
    got this as a replacement board for my asus . M5A97 LE R2.O motherboard I thought had a bad pcie 16 video slot turned out the motherboard was not bad . found that out after I hooked up the new motherboard into my new cooler master half 912 case . as I found out after I put my video card into the pcie 8 slot in to the new motherboard . and it fired right up . so now I am looking at new video cards . installing this motherboard was very easy to do . did not take me too long to get everything put together . this motherboard works well with my AMD FX 8350 cpu !! got to say I was shocked to find out after I got everything going again . I thought I had to reload all my stuff and windows too . but looks like they changed that and did not have to reload windows or my stuff . was able to pick right back up where I left off at over the weekend . that part of it all felt great!! far as the RGB lights stuff its ok if your into that . otherwise was very happy I got it on sale for $98.00 and not $150.00 as I seen it being sold for at other times otherwise the motherboard is very good .but will say the the shipping needs to be more better and just not shipped in the box the motherboard comes in!! I was shocked when the driver gave me the motherboard box with out another protective box around the motherboard box its self . just the motherboard box with the motherboard and parts inside the motherboard box was all I got !! this is just how I got my motherboard from ups not no other protective boxes at all over the motherboard box its self at all !!!
