ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional ThReAD

I appreciate the recommendation Oliverda. I already have another Seasonic M12 700w that I suppose I should put back in. They are great PSUs!

The 970 Extreme4 supports 8x/8x on SLI, which is the same as my current P67 board, would I notice any improvement going to 16/16?

Few percent. If I were in your place then I would go for an 990FX mobo.

I think the biggest question is: Do you get above 60FPS in the games you play right now? Otherwise I'm not sure it'd be all that worth upgrading if that's the only reason :)

Hopefully this mobo is as good as the Fatal1ty, because this one looks much better imo.

Maybe on color-scheme,cause the VRM looks Waaaaaay too weak...

Please put that board through its paces. I want to see how well it treats you before I make a purchasing decision.

New UEFI is on the web: 1.30.

Lacking some features of 1.44.

In 1-1.1/2 years i think Asrock would implemed DR. MOS too or tantulum, and dual bios, these is just that it's still missing from Asrock mb's, in rest they have all.

Just saw that (new?) MSI board:

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/990XA-GD55.html

Quite cheap, but it seems to have the GD80's VRMs, i.e. Tantalum, DrMos and SFerrit Chockes. high-res picture:

What do you think about that? $135@newegg:

wow those MSI VRM look good

Msi 990fxa-gd80 or Asrock 990FX Professional ? That is the question :D

I heard this board is good with Zambezi. Anybody have experience with this combination yet?

ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional !
i have been with asus boards and seems like i cant get away no matter what, all the reviews i have read and see this ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional board seems to have some MAGIC to it.
im ready to buy and switch to 1100T x6 phenom.....i still have my crosshairIV extreme.
can i hit 4.3 4.4 or better ghz with a 1100T phenom im phazechange cooled -44c
thanks ASrock people.........

I am really waiting to see results from the Fatal1ty 990FX Pro compared to the Crosshair V with Bulldozer CPU before making a purchase.

Want to see if the reported higher performance in Fatal1ty 990FX Pro compared to other mobo manufacturers is true or not.

Unfortunately for me I dont like the look of the Fatal1ty 990FX Pro where I think the Crosshair V looks fantastic.

Hope to see some results soon!

Latest BETA UEFI: 1.47


(I'm going to make a comparison review about Crosshair V, 990FX Sabertooth, MSI 990FX-GD80 and ASRock Fatal1ty. Unfortunately it can only take place in November.)

Thank you for the provided BIOS. Please, don`t forget to update them like now. :)

Thak You for the BIOS update! :)

Did You notice any changes yet?

I noticed few so far:
- mouse dont work in UEFI any more (jumps to up-left corner and clicks by itself when draged over a button) -> but it is calibrated right
- the good night LED turn of the diagnostic LED over night time (no more temperature is displayed anymore) -> must be enabled in UEFI first
- Cool and Quite can be left on while overclocked and unlocked the CPU, it causes no random BSoD -> STILL BSOD with CnQ enabled!

Well, two god things, one bad, so far i know :)

Didnt test the OC.

I didn`t tested the 1.47 today. I hope tomorrow..I will give my feedback also

Oliverda, tell me please why with the 1.44, and 1.47 bios, is the 2133Mhz memory frequency missing? How can I set the 2133Mhz without raising the fsb?

Dear Oliverda and Asrock please make a bios with 2133 and 2400 mhz memory frequency. Is very sad to have a maximum of 1866 mhz:mad:

How are the voltage increments/steppings on this board?

Ex. ASUS Sabertooth 990FX all starts at .005v increments.

Thanks for the reply.

I thought this was their high end board?
1866 is the MAX you can select?

I was considering buying this board, but geeeeeeeez gimme a break, that's pathetic at best.
