ASUS M4A89GTD Pro / USB3 Motherboard Pictured

i just like the fact that with the board and my current crossfire setup, i'd have a 4x slot and a PCI slot free.

PCI for soundcard, 4x for my e-sata (i need more than the one port they provide)

its hard to tell with the pic provided, but there might be another 1x slot hidden from view behind the NB heatsink

you can see that the heatsink is right next too the pci slot, they have the same height and all. no way there can be another slot there

but it will still be one nice board i'd say, but why why why why do they still put on IDE connectors :banghead:

i mean, people get over your old IDE drives, it is not expensive to buy a DVD that is sata for gods sake, sorry, had to say it

Nice looking board. Maybe I will switch to AMD for my next build.

board layouts are still crappy,

(FIH) The Don · Feb 16, 2010

eidairaman1 · Feb 16, 2010

Dual Card Spacing prevents use of all slots on the board thus kills expansion. If the rest of the card makers would finally switch over to PCI e and leave PCI in the past then maybe we may be able to get some better spaced boards or something. Change the ATX standard make the boards taller or something or make the 2 PEG slots arranged where 1 is at top and the other is at the bottom.

I like the design , the board looks really nice , but i have a problem - they actually wrote "core unlocker" on the motherboard? hahaha

Yeah, they made it blond-friendly:

^Just turn that switch with the system powered down.

Are they going to up-date the hybrid graphics or are they going to keep producing the HD3450/HD2400 cause won't they be in short supply fairly soon?

890GX has upgraded graphics. Nothing spectacular, but an improvement nonetheless.

H82LUZ73 · Feb 16, 2010

I have always stayed away from on board video boards,I my self like the chip-set and the board. But i want the top end chip the 890FX -850 sb on my board and maybe just maybe triple channel ddr3 memory,Some new ATI cards and the X6 core

i can smell love for AMD. :toast:

AMD doesnt have triple channel ram.

Yes they do, lol.

A: Dont double post. especially not in the news section.

B: Dont make useless posts either - what does "it is time" mean? How is it relevant to the news?

C: No, they don't. at least not in desktop parts.

(FIH) The Don · Feb 17, 2010

you CAN put triple on amd boards, but you wont get the performance from the last memory stick

no, that's called "installing three sticks of ram" - triple channel is a very different thing to 3 sticks of ram.

that doesnt say triple channel anywhere.

Oh dear, you think DDR3 means triple channel? sorry to say buddy, it doesnt. Your own link even says it doesnt.

DDR3 and triple channel have nothing in common, except that intel uses DDR3 for triple channel on its x58 motherboards.

vampire622003 · Feb 17, 2010

Oh ok, if you put it that way then ok, lol. Misunderstanding, lol.

Looks like a really nice board, especially the one pictured. Pci x1, x4 and 2 pci slots. very nice layout and the cooling seems exceptional. I don't even mind the up facing SATA ports because nothing should interfere with where they are at.
