MSI 890GXM-G65 thread - w/ official support

[duron]

it was one of my choices before i got my 890GX but after reading the reviews I had second thoughts, i hope guys here could change that so that it could be tag as an extreme mobo

Overclocking was fairly poor, with a lack of CPU-NB multipliers limiting the maximum HTT, not all of which could even be used when we came to overclocking our CPU. When trying to apply our overclock, we could only increase the HTT bus a tiny 35MHz, and therefore had to use the unlocked multiplier of our Black Edition CPU to get any noticeable extra speed. If you don’t have a Black Edition, but still want to overclock, this a poor board to choose

initial bios is not always d best, i'm pretty sure things will be better after few bios update. but core unlocking mite not be done via bios this time (considering no hardware support in sb850), so i'm a bit concerned.

Will post back once mine returns from RMA.... I did see cooler temps and better NB OCing.
