I may have received a bad one, but I was a bit dissapointed that I couldn't go above 3.8GHz given the hype surrounding this processor. I'll let you know what I get out of the processor on the Gigabyte board.
How may I ask did you kill the 790 FXT.........

We have put it under Ln2 for well over 50 hours........16 hours at a time.....used an insane amount of volts and have only suceeded in Damaging a SB, note the word damage ( and this was due to extreme condensation on a humid rainy day, ram slots filled with water, PWM soaking wet...... ).......the board still works great until you ask it for 2700 HT speeds............in crossfire X..........
