The Crosshair IV is the only mobo I'd get out of the 890FX boards. I have it and am more than satisfied. There is nothing out there that is as good. G.Skill Flare series RAM is new stuff and designed for the 890FX chipset. A Phenom II 955 BE C3 stepping is a great chip for the money.

ic...can u share more about your mobo????
how much gskill flare????

Well, if you have any particular questions just ask.

-From the reviews around the web it gets better grades than it's counterparts

-Looks good!

-Has all the bios options you are going to need

-Overclocks better than my previous motherboard M4A79T Deluxe (Though, that was a good board too)

-Best bios support for AMD that I've seen

-The onboard audio actually works very very well!

-RAM slots are spaced apart

As far as memory goes, you'll probably want a six core if you are going with the G.Skill flare as that's what they are designed for. Micron D9's and Elpida Hyper IC's work very well with AMD if you can find them. Crucial makes some Ballistix RAM (1333mhz 6 6-6-20 1.8v) that use the D9's. I use them at 1400mhz 6 6-6-18 timings. If you can find Corsair 1600mhz cas 6 Dominators which use the Elpida IC's those are even better, but can be expensive, it depends on what you can find in your country.

It has to be the other way around. ATi card for graphics and Nvidia for PhysX.

prototype0213 · Jul 12, 2010, 02:34 AM

yeahhh...that what i mean...can i do that by using crosshair 4 formula???

erocker · Jul 12, 2010, 02:37 AM

Actually you can do it on any mobo that has a couple PCI-E slots. Here's where to get started: http://www.ngohq.com/graphic-cards/1...3-v1-04ff.html
