**Official DFI LanParty UT 790FX-M2R Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

[Sparky]

I just bought a 790FX-M2RS to go with my Phenom 9600BE. It has arrived at home but I won't be able to pick it up until next weekend

Is the only difference between these two DFI boards the number of bells and whistles that they have? Looks like the M2R has more SATA, dual gigabit lan, an extra PCIe x4 slot, some better sound and chipset cooling. Power circuitry looks a bit different too (M2RS has analog and M2R has digital it looks like).

I'm guessing the chip above the PCIe slots is the northbridge right, and the one to the right of the slots is the southbridge? I have my HR-05 I'm planning on sticking on it to help cool it better than stock, plus the phenom will go under water
