I just don't get that, what do you mean by "All of the base 990fx boards are more of a 990x than anything else" ? You guys got me confuzzled and mindblown? I thought 990fx had more lanes so had could they be the same!?
Click to expand...

Its got all the lanes its just instead of making a 990x board they are taking 990fx and making them cheap. Ie bad for high high overclocking. Not bad boards just making boards that are midrange using a high end chipset.

Im talking about regulation.

ASRock 990FX Professional is the FIRS AMD V12+2 regulated board.
All other are just V8+2.

The New Crosshair V is V8+2:
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/Crosshair_V_Formula/#specifications

Gigabyte Big Boy? Its not even a AMD motherboard!

And we are talking here about desktop boards, not about server boards.

Read more carefully next time. Troll..
Click to expand...

Crosshair V extreme and gb hasn't released the 990fx big board yet either. They will be 12+2. You said first amd board with 12+2 in your post never mentioned desktop only. Don't call me a troll fucking new guy. I have probablly used more es chips from amd than you have had normal chips.

Click on the link on the first page my 4.9ghz run says opteron. If you want to be really specific its a 70a 4 phase that has 3 mosfets on each phase improperly labeled as a 12+2 phase. If you want to supporrt false advertising that's cool.

Hi everybody!! I'm back.

After going through some difficult times (employment-wise it has been a rough 2 years for me).

At any rate. As I mentioned in the WCG cruncher thread, I pooched my CPU (9850BE) and MOBO (M3A79-T Deluxe) in an attempt to troubleshoot my friends computer. He was there when it happened and he felt bad about it so he lent me $500 to get a new Mobo/CPU/DDR3 memory. I can finally post in this thread!! :D

So today, (my last day of unemployment :rockout:) I decided to spend the whole day tweaking. Very finicky Mobo this is but I think I found a stable OC and Prime95 has been running for about an 45 minutes now and temps. have stabilized in the 44-46 range! :D:D:D I am so happy with this new hardware!! I never achieved temps that low with my old hardware.

Not to mention, the number of phases is mostly a marketing gimmick. There is much more to it than number of phases. All that matters is the wattage they can handle, and how stable they are. An overbuilt 4 phase can easily out power an underbuilt 8 phase.

Only thing is I want to be sure its a socket chip I can swap at a later time :laugh: I tried a TL56 in this thing that was no go. I think it might have drawn to much juice. thats also the current L310 record :laugh: it can go higher but I will have to wait until this winter when I can go subzero.
