ASUS Offers Full Support for AMD FX-9000 Series CPUs with Existing 990FX Boards
ASUS today announced that its existing 990FX-based motherboards all support the new flagship AMD FX-9000 Series processors at memory speeds up to 2400 MHz, without the need for a BIOS update.
The ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z, Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 and M5A99FX Pro R2.0 motherboards all feature AM3+ Socket with full support for AMD's extreme-performance FX-9370 and FX-9590 processors. With eight-cores and unlocked clock speeds up to 5 GHz, the FX-9000 Series requires incredible amounts of power and generates considerable heat - AMD recommends a 1200 W power supply and liquid processor cooling.
Existing ASUS 990FX motherboards not only take the FX-9000 Series in their stride, straight from the box, but also support rock-solid stability at memory speeds up to 2400 MHz - something that currently cannot be attained by 990FX-based motherboards from other vendors.
"ASUS is a market leader in the motherboard industry, thanks to the quality and innovation of its products," said Roy Taylor, Corp Vice President of Global Channel Sales at AMD. "The out-of-the-box support for AMD FX-9000 Series processors offered by its 990FX-based motherboards is further proof of the solid design and high-quality components for which ASUS has long been renowned. In fact it's so good, I used the same motherboard in my PC at home."

My lowly FX-8320 works at FX-9590 base clock anyway with air cooling so there's no need to spend crazy money for these new FX-9k series :p
sabertooth 990fx rev 1 mobo
12 gig corsair dom ram
1090t 6 core cpu
dual nvidia gtx 550's
aywun 650w psu
I am thinking about buying a 9370 cpu.
Will this run a 9370 cpu with liquid cooling or is there anything i would need to upgrade majorly?????????
antec, corsair, seasonic, xfx (to name a few)its to run the 9370, but if you plan on a full custom loop I would get something slightly bigger.
I was typing before i saw someone answered lol
