When I ran it on my M5A99FX PRO R2.0, it said PRO series

I think that All Series is just Asus's way of saying that it's not modified past OEM specifications

it's not modified past OEM specifications

Do you mean it's the same as the old OEM computer?

 

[weberdarren97]

No, I mean that they haven't modified the way things connect to the socket or chipset and other components. In other words, the wiring conforms to Intel/AMD original design. Meaning that if Asus did put their own touches on the board, they didn't change the wiring.

What motherboards are ASUS All Series?
Mine is H81M-A.

 

[weberdarren97]

Basically every motherboard made by Asus except for the ones in their named series (Crosshair, Crossblade, Sabertooth, etc.) which have had their wiring modified in order to theoretically increase performance. Certain boards that have PRO as part of their name will show up as being in the PRO series.

Is 'ASUS Signature' above All Series?

 

[weberdarren97]

The signature series were specifically designed by Asus from the ground up, in order to best take advantage of any components you may connect to them. It's even above the Pro series. The basic difference is that the Pro series has had its wiring designed to compliment the chipsets on the board, while the Signature series is specifically designed to take maximum advantage of the chips on the board as well as any devices that can be connected. Some of the Signature boards even have a wider system bus than the way AMD/Intel designed it to be.
