amd are just sucking ass, need a future 1090 or 1070 chipset board, they should have added pci-e 3.0 to the 990fx for bulldozer, pci-e 3.0 has been out since 2011

they aint no good for super computers and so on any more, or gaming that much

you have to put up with some random gt 630 maximum

get a asrock 970 extream4 over the 990 extreame4, and save yourself £40 and your not actually missing anything, and put up with gtx 5 for sli, and spend £160 next year on a new board

OP is an idiot. don't bother with him.

they are the same board, the 990fx just has a little higher bandwidth for 8 core fx cpu`s

all you use laptops and cry about games and only play quakelive, none of you will ever have a 8 core fx cpu, a 6 core phenom still has a year or 2 of life left, then you buy a new board with pci-e 3.0

asrock 970 extream4 £60
GT 610 -> 630 £30-50
EBAY PHENOM 955 BE + 4gb ram

cost you £140-170

Looks like fun!

FFWD to 4 mins for it to start, note the knockout at 4.45ish via the pillar!

you can get a 900mhz gt 640 if its 192 bit bus packet size for pci-e 2.0

128 bit cards are pci-e 3.0
