I just purchased mine as well, I will let people know. I dont have a side window on my case (CM690) so I am not too worried either way, but something about jet black PCB is great ;)
Also, for those considering this board there is a promo code on newegg for $25 off making it $164.99 shipped. CODE: EMCAKBGBH. I believe it is only for "today" which is only for a few hours :eek:
Awe... would've covered my shipping :PQuote:

I don't know whats going on with the constantly changing dates, and why availability is so poor, I'm getting really fed up of waiting now though, so I;ve decided to spend my money on a 9950BE instead...!!!
I'll have to get a mobo at some later time now, I've gotten fed up of waiting and waiting and waiting, I've been keeping the money for this mobo since beginniong of August, and its just sitting doing nothing, the availability date keeps on moving one week at a time, so I've been sitting on the money expecting them to becoe available, but enough is enough.....!!!!
That sucks... What I do for my friends in the UK is to buy for them and then ship over. It's worth it for small components like CPU and RAM but it'll end up a bit expensive for heavier items. Of course I mean shipping with tracking and insurance otherwise it's pretty reasonable.Quote:

What revision is your black PCB'd board my brown is 1.01G.
The black PCB versions were causing malaria, only the brown ones are safe.

Anyway... I'm pretty new to Phenom X4 wondering if any of you fine guys would post their complete OC setting in Jumpreless BIOS option.
Wohoo I just got mine, it is black. Got it from Newegg. Revision 1.01G.
Also I noticed that too. I was messing with the ram and it would not post. That nice green RESET button on the mobo did nothing but restart the thing but did not seem to clear the BIOS. I had to go the old fashion jumper route.Quote:

I got a brown one.. I don't really care as so far the thing is running pretty tight!!! Temps are good, board is quiet, It likes my 9850 so far. 3.1 on stock volts. Haven't put the 9950 in it yet.
I wish all the motherboard manufacturers would just use black. It is much easier to read white lettering on a black motherboard. I have had boards in which the only way I could read some of the small lettering for the jumpers was by taking it outside in direct sunlight, and holding it at an angle to reflect off the small lettering.
I think all motherboard design engineers should be required to personally install their creations in a case from start to finish. I will bet layouts and location of connectors, etc would improve dramatically. :yepp:
Yeah, its like I always wished airplane seat designers had to fly all the time, then we might get a decent seat!:ROTF:Quote:
