Finally ASUS is giving AMD some real love. Can't wait to see these on newegg.. If they're reasonably priced I might have to get one!

CDdude55 · May 13, 2009

Looks really good, i may consider going AMD when ever i build a new rig in the future

Paintface · May 13, 2009

why would you pick this board above the gigabyte ultra durable versions besides the looks ? ( serious question )

Because I've had abysmal experiences with giga****

And ASUS makes THE best high end and premium boards. Ultra Durable is a marketing term, they said my 780G boards were ultra durable 2, does that mean the UD3 last 3 days instead of 2 :roll:

Asus is generally known for there nice overclocks on there boards and good looks to.

Cold Storm · May 13, 2009

Not everyone will go for Gigabyte, as well as not all will go with Asus.. Some feel that Asus is the better mobo maker, while others fill Gigabyte is... Then others think that MSI, DFI,Asrock,.... is better then the other two...

The question isn't why would one pick this board, as to why one would come in and troll about another?

To me, the MSI board is one of the best AM3 boards out there right now.. But, it's the start of AM3, and there will be more and more boards that will come and be "better' or be more "efficient".. Crosshair has all ways been the "highend" version board for AMD..

Because it WILL overclock like crazy. :rockout:

eidairaman1 · May 13, 2009

Wow, EVGA is missing out on this opportunity.

Studabaker · May 13, 2009

Now that I've decided to go back to AMD for my next build, I think I have also decided to get this mobo to build it

because my ages older crosshair II can out oc any of the GB boards out there and its a 780A board not an AMD mobo.

GB does not yield the best oc's the M4A79T does

my M4A78T-E smokes the 790GX GB board in everything but the onboard VGA

Hayder_Master · May 14, 2009

look interesting for everyone but not for me , i like AMD but i hate hear everyday new 790fx or 790gx release , where is new platforms series AMD time to beat intel platforms

LittleLizard · May 14, 2009

they should have invented a new brand for it. crosshair is for nvidia rog mobos

Mussels · May 14, 2009

gah, run crossfire on that and say goodbye slots.

DFI
asus
gigabyte

in that order.

Gigabyte may perform like asus and OC like asus... but they nearly always have some kind of BIOS bugs/errata, or sudden failures. I know of 3 gigas personally that 'just died'

a lot of the people who swear by gigabyte had bad experiences with a few of asus failures, like the first striker extreme.

Cold Storm · May 14, 2009

Yeah, I'm with you Mussels.. I've only used one Gigabyte board that didn't dye on me with-in two weeks.. but I gave up that board in the two weeks because of my luck...

Kitkat · May 14, 2009

sick!!!!!!!

Not anymore it isnt! a statements been made THE END. Let rampage be nvidia i like crosshair name and the 890FX should be Crosshair 4 the Quad vershould be extreme. If a rampage is made with the new 990 or whatever the new nvid am3 chipset is called (the name slips my mind atm) then that should be rampage. There shuldnt be 2 per company even tho there are no intel 790FXs lol. I love gygabyte and have never had a prob with them i wanted a UD3 but theres no way id pass this sick @$$ board for it, sorry. Also feel free to speculate your brains out: Will this board support (DDR3 1800 :OC) Usualy they kick it up more with ROG boards (never owned one just noticed) do u think it will Officialy support higher???

DrPepper · May 14, 2009

It looks bare compared to my p5q. I think they could have added more pci-e slots at least one more. Also a few more sata ports would be appreciated, not that they could all be filled but you never know.

ChaoticAtmosphere · May 14, 2009

Loooooks nice!!!! They finally moved from brown boards. 2 PCIe slots is enough for me as long as the both run at x16

lets just hope you dont have a need for any add in cards then.

The CLR CMOS button or Jumper does the exact same thing as removing the bettery, it cuts power to the CMOS which causes it to go blank. Blank CMOS means the BIOS uses default settings.

On modern boards, you should never need to pull the battery, either use the button, or if the board doesn't have a button use the jumper. And you have to remember to cut power to the board, and hold the button down for 10 seconds, or move the jumper over for 10 seconds.

That's the way I do. :rockout:

yup was on tghe fence too then settled for UD3 i really hope they release it soon! if there is an extreme i wanna see it first.

eidairaman1 · May 14, 2009

I had a bad past with Asus so I'm wary to even look at them. I have had good runs with MSI and DFI, now I'm gonna try EVGA.
