But I would not buy one, I have already sent the 790GX Asus board back for being faulty, On the Asus Forums there are all ready reports of post problems, ACC not working, raid problems, and the list goes on and on for the M3A79-t feluxe and its only just come out. Asus = poor build.
For once, I'm gonna be an optimist on this stuff actually working

Not sure if there's much of a problem with the actual board. I was a victim of the first M3A32-MVP and it simply sucked big time.... I was traumatized on Asus, so when the M3A79 came out, I was VERY reluctant, but I figured I'd try it anyway. All I can say is...WOW... very solid

I've seen many of the things people are complaining about, and there are some legitimate things there (due to the first BIOS version I'm sure), but many of the complaints are folks who are either impatient or simply not experienced enough with the AMD Phenom way of doing things (not like us diehard lunatics at least)

The firmware definitely feels solid, but there are some improvements that can be made. ACC is definitely working (I can get 3.6Ghz on a 9850 that would only do 2.9 before) and I'm have NO random crashing. Also, RAID issues that people are complaining about has NOTHING to do with Asus implementation, but rather it is an AMD chipset/Promise technology problem with how the firmware is configured (it was the same on the SB700). Any SB700/SB750 board has the same issues, (trust me on that, I have 4 SB700s running in the house, all running RAID/SATA, and its ugly to get it going)

Other than that, I must say I am amazed at how tight the board feels. Its my first "high end" Asus since the original A8V that hasn't pissed me off

As usual, whats on internet forums is not always the truth
