    no, its not true...impossible. Maybe only new revision old names with new AM3+ socket area. Thats all.

    Sure we can find an excuse to RMA our CHIV's if they keep the same names lol

    oh geez now I'm confused...this Asus announcement really stumps me as I can't see how they would make new revisions of old boards just to support am3+, but that really does appear to be the only way.

    Why would they make another CHIV for 890FX and then have a 990FX coming out also. Seems kind of backwards.

    Asus and MSI are now saying it IS possible.
    I guess we can just wait and see.

    I could swear there was a pin difference in sockets between the CHIV I've got recently and the first gen M4a89gtdpro-usb3 board i had. Lets hope its not just them 'special' grey sockets that support am3+ only.
