There will also be a DFI-LP UT 790FX-M2RV, which will include a VoIP card.
Both models can already be preordered at certain websites for about 200 euro, but there's still no info available on delivery dates.
Update: Board will be widely available 2 to 3 weeks after official launch.

the board layout/ colors remind me of DFI p35 lanparty and the old nf4 lanparty series combination

lol surely those headers are not all for fans :D

It's probably the angle but how the hell are you going to screw the middle hole near that heatpipe....?? :confused:

Its probably covered- its been an issue before. Abit Wendy SLI (NF4) springs to mind.

lookin forward to the next DFI AMD board :)

Cool layout. How many ppl need 4 PCI-E x16 anyway. I think this is the 790 board ill pick up if i decide to buy one.

where is the LP X38?!? please be quick DFI

I counted 8 Fan headers. But I'm not really sure if the two by the PCI-Express 16X slot is one.

The 2 by the PCI-E slots look more like 4-pin floppy headers, like the ones on DFI NF4 boards.

Hoping to see this board in the $150 range, and of course Phenom(or whatever its called now) to turn out good :up:

Plug by PCi-E slot are floppy power connectors to supply additional power to each slot. I hate seeing those, as it means this board won't work with Enermax Galaxy.

wet dream material. :clap:

this'll match with my DFi lanparty ultra-d (939)

haha yeah i know :D

:slobber: :woot: I want one NOW !!!

:hehe:

200eur? Wow, compared to previous high end motherboards this is dirt cheap!

when official launch?

Because both pictures are from a completely vertical angle i can not tell the height of the SB heatsink but if it has any height at all it looks like it would completely obstruct install any high end graphics card in the second PCIe x16 slot.

If that is the case then :down:

Edit: Also when comparing this to the 790-DQ6 how is it that the NB heatsink for the DFI like a toy action figure compared to the one the DQ6.

Same for the SB, the DQ6 has a very small heatsink while M2R has a much bigger one?

Whats the deal?

Thats wishful thinking my friend as this will almost certainly be a $300.00 board.

But thank GOD and I cant wait to get away from this Intel Crap!

yes! this is how good boards should look like! :)

Because the NB on Amd boards don't need that much cooling because the memory controller is on the CPU die? Which usually is the source of most of the heat. I'm sure DFI engineers aren't stupid enough like MSI to make their South Bridge Heatsink so tall you can't fit long cards.

no worries, the southbridge cooler isnt too high. i think that puts it above almost wank material.. but the floppy power connectors next to the cards push it back down to almost only.

I'm waiting for this board or something better... depends on perf.

D.F.I all the way baby:cheer: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :cheer:

Nah high end amd boards usually go for $200 and slightly above. 300 is Intel pricing ;)

Yep... for more stable pci-e power with CF running. but DFI has been ample in general with fan headers.. I love the layout of this board.. very nice.
