GA-MA790X-UD4P - Socket AM3 - Chipset 790X - ATX Reviews

Every few builds I come across a "favorite" board and this is the first in a long while. Very stable, decent array of sensors, full featured and STABLE. Running Athlon II X4 620, 2x2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1333, Gigabyte Radeon HD5770, Win 7 x64 RTM.

Outstanding board for the price. Nice and heavy, sharp looking, full featured BIOS, plenty of clearance around the socket for a variety of coolers. Updated to latest BIOS to get proper support for Propus cores and was off to the races. This board has 90%...

Multiple bios update options, Crossfire X ready, 6 sata ports, 8 usb ports, 2 pci slots, 2x esata with riser card. This thing has more connections then I know what to do with. Supports pretty much every AM3 cpu (may need bios update). Total bang for you b...

I say 6 sata ports even though there are 8 total but 2 are gsata ports that I have nothing but issues with. As others have mentioned memory and chipset are very close together and limits on aftermarket coolers. 2nd pci-e runs @ 8x in crossfire and kinda p...
