Im a bit in a black hole though. There's not much to chose regarding motherboards for AM2+ right now and thus Im seriously considering to get a M3A79-T Deluxe because of the extra phases. On the otherhand Im thinking of just giving this 790FXB another try and making sure I get some better cooling on the MOSFETs.

However I cant find any after market MOSFET coolers which will fit on the DFI. I took a look on DFI's newest UT board for Intel, X58. If you look at the cooling etc on it, it's awesome. But I seriously dont see DFI releasing another AM2+ UT board. And if they plan to get an AM3 UT board, it will probably take so long to get it available that by then RD890 is out as well. DFI is always too late with releasing things

So at this point I think I might get that Asus board or just sit it out on the 790FXB untill/after RD890 and see if there's any good board out by then.

But then... If there's finally a good board Ill have to swap to an AM3 Phenom II CPU anyway... It's getting annoying now lol
I'm personally going for the GA-MA790GP-DS4H..

It's got AMD 790GX + SB750 Chipset and plenty of MOSFET-cooling. Consider this; It has worlds fastest onboard graphic's, the HD3300, and this is cooled by a heatsink connected to the MOSFETS. Now disable the onboard HD3300, and plug in whatever card you like in the x16 slot, and voila! One extra massive heatsink for you'r MOSFET's only

Besides.. this was actually the same board (and theres only 1 revision) that was used to clock the AM2+ PII to the amazing 6+ GHz

The board is quite cheap as well.
