Been away for awhile. Been waiting to see what AMD was doing to do.
OK. This is my question. I brought a 5600+ and a set of Buffalo Firestixs 2 x 1 gb DDR2 pc8000). I am in need of a new motherboard. I want to go with a 790 chipset so I don't have to change again if I decide to get a Black Edition Quad.
Will I be happy with this Board? My last DFI UT 939 SLI-D started to act weid before it took the Opti x2 (forgot the number it was the 1.8 that I was able to oc to 3.0 range) out along with itself.
I sold the OCZ memory and brought what I have now. Can I get a second set of the firestixs and still be able to get a good oc?
I don't need multi video so this would be overkill. Just something to run x10 with Vista. My last card as a XFX 7950. Will a singe nvida 8xxx still run on this board or would it really not make a differnce with a crossfire based video.
Shoukd I wait for a Biostar Tforce 770 board?
Thanks for any help.

No actually I do not and none on the first board I had either. Are you running quad core?

Hey guys, new to the forums. Just built my very first rig using this board with a 5000+ black edition and a Diamond HD3870.
I just got it up and running 5 or 6 hours ago, and the only issue I see at this point is an occasional random reboot. I've got 2 GB Crucial Ballistix 1066 MHz (in preparation for faster, more stable Phenoms)that are rated @ 2.2 V, but of course K8 only supports 800 MHz, which is fine. However, the 800 MHz Ballistix are rated @ 2.2 V as well, and BIOS was automatically setting VDRAM at 1.96 V(according to JEDEC spec for 800 MHz memory I'm assuming).
I went ahead and bumped up the voltage to 2.21 V hoping to get rid of the reboot issue. I also found it odd that "random" rebooting always occured while I was in Norton Internet Security. Could Norton be the issue, or is that just coincidence?
By the way, I had some issues with some squealing too, turned out the CPU heatsink and fan just needed the most gentle nudge.

Damn reading this thread makes me want to buy this board for my 6400. It's currently in a gigabyte GA M59sli, and I don't run sli.
I wonder how well it will work with the 3870x2 in crossfire?
Campbell (brother esau) is doing the 3870s or has done them...i can't remember right now

Well, I have the wife's computer up and running on this board and a x2 5000be. It seems pretty solid to me so far. There are a -ton of options in the bios (which is really nice). I really haven't had time to tweak it out as much as I want to, but it seems like this board is an o/cers dream.
I got my Phenom 9600 BE on it's way right now (supposed to get to me on Monday) for my rig so I'll probably have a better idea of what this board is capable of then I'm sure.
Note: got two of these boards just in case you were wondering...one for me, one for her computer.
Rig info
M/B: ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe | CPU: AMD Phenom 9950 BE | GPU : ATI 4850 x2 2048mb connected to 1 LG 22" LCD and 1 19" LCD| RAM : 4x2gb OCZ Platinum 1066MHZ | 3 Seagate Barracuda hard drives 1 250 GB, 1 320 GB, 1 1TB
Watercooling setup: 2 radiators : 1 Thermochill 120x2, 1 Thermochill 120x3, 8x Sharkloon Golfball 120mm fans, 1 Swiftech MCP 655-B pump, Tygon tubing, D-tek Fuzion v2 CPU block, 2 MCW-60 GPU blocks, Swiftech Micro-Res
I am working on some benches with the single HD 3870 and will post up soon

Puts on Mod hat:
Gentlemen:
That's enough of this crap.
If someone doesn't like what's offerred thats fine but this thread craping and calling people names stops right here.
It's insane that I have to come in and remove what? 10 posts of 2 guys calling each other names.
Let it go. It's one guys review and facts as he sees them.
He isn't claiming to be the Grand PooBah of the PC world just stating what he sees. It's that simple and if that isn't acceptable to someone then ignore the thread.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks Robert I appreciate the support. I guess the obvious is not clear to some people/

OK.....Now tell em what He's won Jim?
Well you guys wanted DDR2 1200mhz Hows about DDR2 1206MHZ the first screen shot was achieved on 12/21/07 Beta and the second was done with Single HIS HD 3870 on 11/22/07 Bios
But check out the Bandwidth on the top pic ....whoa ........ if I could only have a worthy Processor for this board considering the Vdimm was at 2.16v I would have to say thats pretty damn good for 7ns 5-5-5-11 -19
