[WTB] 790FX AM3 Motherboard

Kantastic · Dec 1, 2009, 02:51 AM

Looking for a 790FX AM3 (only) motherboard. Don't have anything particular in mind so LMK what you have (along with a price please).

Bump! Still looking for the next few days.

how about MSI 790FX-GD70 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-223-_-Product ?

that should be a very nice board for almost everything, CF, OC and other things

Thanks for the suggestions guys, but I'm looking to spend a little less than retail. I'm only going to be looking for another few days before completely scrapping the idea of going ATX, because that would mean getting a new case. I've been eyeing the Tempest Evo, but if I can't find a mobo here I'm going to scrap the idea entirely and go mATX 785G.

i know its not a fx board but what about this one?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813131402R

got it my self and i am very happy with it, great valueforthe money IMO

Here's where my slight OCD comes in. I'm set on the idea of only getting a board that does X16/X16, if it doesn't do CFX/SLI with full bandwidth then I only want one PCI-E 2.0 slot on the board, if it's got 2 I don't want it.

(FIH) The Don · Dec 2, 2009, 10:01 AM

that is where it gets expensive, unless you can make do with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136044

and then som DDR2 memory.

other than that then just go 785 if you aint gonna do CF

Hey Kantastic, I have the DFI board below. I am running the AMD Phenom II 550BE in it without issues, as it has the latest Bios.

DFI LP DK 790FXB-M2RSH Retail box, with most of everything that came with it, (may be a sata cable or two missing is all).

I would let it go for $115.00 shipped man.

I would also sell the Phenom II 550BE, that is a proven unlocker on this board to the quad core for $195.00 shipped for the combo.

Got myself Assassin48's UD5 and stinger608's PII X2 550.
