    Well this board is hopefully being picked up today to go back to Scan for RMA(Have requested Refund)

    Now I am left with a hard decision about what to do now as I have read the threads on the MSI and Asus 790FX boards and there seems to be somewhat of a consensus at the moment that the BIOS's on these boards are sucky. For my sanity and possibly my wallet depending on the outcome of this RMA I cant afford to get another screwy board.

    So I am thinking at this point i should pick up a cheap "known good" OCing Nforce AM2 board to house my 5000+ BE and ATI 3870 and wait it out for a while on the 790FX front.

    OBR,can you give us a hint about how much OC potential has your regular AM2 board (over your 790 GB board)?

    We are working on a BIOS release after this with the NB multiplier being available. Also, F3A addresses DDR2-1066 compatibility,corrects a few ratio problems with F2 final, and increases VCore range. However, 2GB module compatibility is still not where it needs to be currently.
