Shortly before I left Germany to attend CES in Las Vegas, I did a quick dry ice session with one of my colleges, Hyperhorn. We tried the Asus 790FX, Foconn Destroyer with 780a and Gigabyte 790GX, but came to the conclusion that the CPU we had (early sample) is a dud. Max Cinebench stable clocks were 4320 MHz on the Destroyer and 4200 MHz on the other 2 boards. Max. clockspeed we reached was a mere 4970 MHz, it froze at 5025, unfortunately. With the help of -5C cold air after opening the window, we reached a HT speed of 417 MHz which was the best result we could come up with.
Overdrive helped with the overclocking though it has some bugs every now and then.
