![]() Overall the area around the CPU should easily fit most heatsinks and closed loop watercooling setups. These cool a digital 6 + 2 phase CPU power delivery mechanism and a dual phase memory power delivery system. The CPU area is flanked by large VRM heatsinks that are tapered to allow for the fitment of large heatsinks in the CPU socket area. The overall color scheme and layout is what we have grown accustomed to with current generation ASUS motherboards. That means that it works in virtually every mid and full tower chassis, as well as in most server chassis in the event you ever wanted to re-purpose the motherboard a few years down the line. The ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 is a standard ATX size motherboard. Overall a fairly standard configuration for the board. OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, Ubuntu 12.04 Server.Power Supply: Corsair AX750 750w 80Plus Gold PSU.ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 Test Configurationįor this test we will use a typical workstation configuration. Let’s take a look at what the ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 has to offer. ![]() The ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 is therefore built to take some ASUS exclusive features and apply them to the socket AM3+ segment. Conversely, the socket AM3+ chips do not have onboard GPUs and therefore will normally be used with external graphics. A major difference is that the FM2 is aimed squarely at the lower cost segment where dedicated GPUs are unlikely to be utilized because the chips support onboard graphics. AMD’s desktop platforms, above the very low power segment, are segmented into two main socket types, socket AM3/ AM3+ and the FM2 socket. The ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 is an ATX socket AM3+ motherboard with lots of bells and whistles. Regardless of the CPU fault LED being Lit I am pretty sure now that the Mother board is the problem the Fault the replacement tested FX8350 did not work.Today we are looking at the AMD side of things, specifically with an AM3+ motherboard from ASUS. Both AM3+ and transfer everything across pretty cheap but I would like to know what is happening. or maybe the Bios chip is corrupted/failed I can buy a bullet proof Giggabite GA series ot ASUS Sabertooth 990FX. I will leave things as they are for 24 hours see what other suggestion come in I am feeling that the fault could be a capacitor or some other part of the CPU circuit on the Board that is so close to the CPU it indicates as a CPU Fault. it was connected I removed it and tested it it's working. Another strange oddity is that the motherboard is designed to not boot up if the speaker is not connected. I have found numerous occurrences of my problem on youtube but people only appear to be able to confirm what has happened not why. ASUS and AMD have a symbiotic relationship as companies it is why their products work so well together. The power to MB green light comes on and the on/ off button illuminates that is all I get so for some reason the CPU so power is getting to the board. In my case the single beep does not occur the fan on the CPU starts as normal. ![]() ![]() When I turn on the normal result is a single Beep this is normal for all computers as you know it is the POST ( Power on Self Test) beep. The Board it's self has a Red fault LED that if lit indicates a general Motherboard fault this is not lit. The ASUS M5A99X motherboard is self diagnostic so just below and to the right of the CPU is a Red LED that if lit indicates a CPU fault or the section of the board directly associated with it. ![]()
