I wondered if I as a "before" buyer of a motherboard with 990 chipset it land on the seat of your pants, or if my impatience RECOURSE impunity ?! I vertaue years on gigabytes and this time it looks as if this is justified! Installation and commissioning worked right away without any problems, without a single Macke! Perceived quality, free processing (neudeutsch: "haptics") very good and for a change in a new color: black! The board is currently running even the good old OCZ "AMD Black Edition" RAM, a Phenom II 1090T, a ExtreMemory SSD XLR8, and an ASUS HD5850, so of course no statement can be made, how it will look with a bulldozer when he at last appear ... In any case, it can not quite agree that the 990-chipset he only umgelabelter 890-he is because of me a Windows Experience Index of each category shows a tenth win, although only the board has been replaced. Although these are rather theoretical sizes, but the very fact that as everything can stand each other, although the quasi still a board "for the future" is, demands recognition!
Finally enough internal USB ports (3) (plus USB 3.0!), Finally no mindless floppy or IDE ports and exclusively SATA3! So you want it! The voltage regulation in the BIOS is finally so refined that one eg the RAM actually can adjust 100th-close attention to the voltage required. Otherwise the BIOS menu is so simple and clear as ever.
This board will be a very good basis for everything the late summer of 2011 from AMD brings so!
