AMD FX-8120 Black Edition CPU Review (with Asus M5A99X EVO)

We are greeted by Asus' usual UEFI interface which is by far the best out there on the market.  It looks great and is very easy to use, both for basic and more advanced users.  The advanced section provides every possible option we could ask for when overclocking the AMD FX-8120.

For those without the technical know how to achieve massive overclocks by tweaking all the different settings, Asus include a automatic overclocking feature on the ‘AI Tweaker' page.  This will provide a decent boost in performance without much effort at all.

Asus also includes a BIOS update utility which makes the update process very simple indeed.  We updated the BIOS to the latest version before testing the motherboard.
