    its just not the most popular choice for the price, i think that most people are going crosshair or gigabyte. i would not get a another expensive msi board affter the gd70 790fx

    also my 2677.9MHz NB clock is not on the list with my post

    sovereignty68 as zanzabar said, most people are going the CF IV.

    I've got the GD70, and i find it to be quite good.

    Also chews has stated that it's a lil lax in performance per clock, but is able to push higher clocks due to the lack in PPC.



    I'm still yet to really push the motherboard but with 350+HT i think it's right up there with the CFIV though.... *shrugs*

    Question

    just a quick question..if you had to choose between the Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H or the 790XTA-UD4 which would be better for getting to 4.0???

    I assuming the UD4 because of the 10 phases, but I've seen some of you get to 4.0 on the 890GPA....


    just checking before I buy...

    I'm gonna upgrade to a Crosshair/GD70 later, but for now my local store has these two Gigabyte models in stock... and I kind of am used to the Ultra-Durable 3 interface...

    Thanks

    David

    well, I'll go with the 790XTA-UD4... the other guy uses it and it seems to be good and I'd rather have better voltage control and finer increments than what the 890gpa may offer...

    could use that onboard video..but that sucks I'm using a serious GPU with this and need to support a 40'' HDTV so..

    I've used a Rampage Formula before and I seem to remember the more phases helping...so it'll be this one...

    9 days to go and then the

    big 6

    hope to join you folks at 4.0 big ones...

    Thanks
