Could B3 Phenom be the rebirth of AMD....+1000MHZ OC done!

[KTE]

I am in a quandry about which board to get for phenom for my upgrade....
Its between the gigabyte 790FX-DS5 and the DFI LP DK 790FX-M2RS

which board would hold better to overclocking and also which board is more flexible with what RAM you use with it.

I've not seen anyone with a 9850 in that DFI or that DS5 posted many details yet so can't say. Look to their notes and findings whomever they be.

Also, those screen shots earlier in this thread on the gigabyte board, with HWmonitor...showing the amps and wattages on the rails....is that a gigabyte board only and does the DS5 feature this?

Can you give reference where?
That isn't a board feature AFAIK but of the GBT Odin GT PSU only.

One major point is, the DS5 doesn't have as much RAM and RAM related problems as the DFI boards though and is far more stable on a day to day basis. The DFI has some major BIOS problems too, most others boards don't ATM. I played with the DS5 long ago when it first released and even the first BIOSes were quite excellent and stable.
