Sapphire has unveiled its high-end Phenom-ready 790FX-powered motherboard. The CrossFireX PC-AM2RD790 will support both AM2 and AM2+ processors, DDR2-1066, six SATA 3.0Gbp/s ports, and three PCI-Express 2.0 16X slot. Sapphire didn't bother to use any copper for the chipset cooling but has equipped the board with an aluminum cooling system, complete with multiple heatpipes. The board is currently ready and will become available by the end of the month.

Actually under forum rules it's not really up to it's members to post news but to leave it to the news editors. We can let my thread die and use this proper one.:D

Personally, I think it'd be neat if there was a little fan or something embedded in the I/O port to cool off that heatsink. :P

It's only 8 watts mdm-adph. I don't know if it really needs a fan.

ebdoradzif you look carefully this DFI board only have 3 slot, so no quadfire here
I know this, BUT the INQ one is Quad but lacks space for the cards.

Need? Who said anything about need?

Bah -- and here I thought, from posting on this board all this time, that custom computing was all about excess. Guess I was wrong. :p

Looks nice, lets just hope this board isnt a failure like their previous two AMD boards. Gawd those were horrible.

Nah, I think this case it's because a tiny fan on the heatsink would be annoying as hell. A surprisingly practical reason :laugh:
