ASRock is trying to be the first to produce an AM3+ motherboard supporting AMD "Zambezi" processors.

Based on artwork sent in by ASRock, the company is gearing up to be one of the first manufacturers to release a motherboard supporting AMD's next-generation "Zambezi" Fusion Black processors. The board will be named the ASRock 890FX Deluxe5 and based on the AMD 890FX + SB850 chipset.

Slated for a release by the end of February, the board's AMD3r2 (aka AMD3+) CPU socket will be compatible with existing socket AM3 Phenom II and Athlon II processors as well as the upcoming 8-core AMD3+ processors. For the gamer, the motherboard will support AMD Quad CrossFireX, 3-way CrossFireX and a two-card CrossFireX setup.


In addition, ASRock's 890FX Deluxe5 will include four DDR3 memory slots, two PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots, two PCIe x1 slots, two legacy PCI slots and one PCIe x4 slot. There will also be four USB 3.0 ports (two on the back I/O, two on the front panel), eight SATA 6Gb/s ports, two IEEE 1394 ports, 7.1 CH HD Audio with Content Protection (Realtek ALC892 audio codec), THX TruStudio PRO and Premium Blu-ray audio support.

Two other notable features are the board's UEFI BIOS interface which supports bootable hard drives larger than 2 TB. There's also a Turbo UCC feature that allows the user to overclock the CPU while maintaining low power consumption with the press of a button.

"Enabling Turbo UCC, it will automatically help you to unlock the extra CPU core to enjoy an instant performance boost, and the system performance will boost up by overclocking CPU frequency, memory frequency and all related voltage settings," reads the product description. "Different from normal high-energy consumption for overclocking or system upgrading process, ASRock Turbo UCC can allow an energy-saving overclocking or system upgrade computing operation."

ASRock's upcoming 890FX-based motherboard arrives just before AMD is expected to introduce the 9-series chipsets supporting "Zambezi" processors in Q2 2011. The lineup will start with the AMD 990FX chipset with AM3+ and AM3 support for high-end motherboards followed by the 990X chipset with AM3+ and AM3 support for mid-level boards. The 980G chipset will round out the 9-series, offering integrated graphics for low-end systems but will not support older AM3 processors.

890FX mobo to support BD chips

BD still using the same hsf eh?

y nobody post their result yet ? if got warm up result sure nice 

oh ya.. y my clock speed is of by 10-12mhz ? 

the prize for the compy is getting interesting 

Normal ah bro, everyone is just starting their engines

value ram pull down my HTT clock.

Why pulak bro? U can always use lower ram divider Ker ur lower divider already made the ram running high?

hmm, the value ram prevent me to go beyond 265MHz HTT.
even with the lowest dram divider and loosen timing.
but i didn't try increase dram voltage, don't have active cooling on it.

Hei guys...
My friend's KVR is kingston chip, which means oc ability not as good as elpida chips lor??



Instead i shud look for smthg like this is it?

may i know ur board bro..and ur ram..

i think higher is possible with ur setup..
assuming u using ddr3.. with 265htt, 1066 divider will get u 14XXmhz ram..i think many value ram can handle this.. so try with 1066 divider 1st and see...

i encouterd soo many setups that dont like 800 ram divider.. so try with 1066..u might have higher chance..

btw, loosen timings..how loose? if like >CL 10, try make it max cl9 only.. i donno how true my guessings, but too loose wont help..

gambatte yo!!

relabeled kvr can be 2 edge sword, either u get d super chippies like guru kunta's kvr (which can do 18xx @ 6-8-6) or my alibaba half cut kvr which can do 1600 @ 9-9-9... 

not so sure bout babg (i only tried bdbg b4 but too noob that time - zaman 790gxe 128m + c2), but in general they're safer bet. shouldn't have any problem hittin 8-8-8 (or slightly tighter) @ 1600 & above.

is it ok im unlock my phenom 555 be and increase my cpu multipler to x19 . i not gain my cpu volt is it ok or will harm my stuff can someone help me tq

hmm, i m using an older platform.
CPU: AMD Phenom FX-5000
Mainboard: DFI LANParty JR 790GX-M2RS (AM2+)
RAM: Kingston 2x2GB DDR2 800 value ram

@saturn85
bro...referring to my last post here:
My Last Post
u were suggesting me to lowering my vcore and higher my cpu nb clock...its done and hoping it will lowered the temp..i guess.
But i cant make it to increase my core speed from 3.5ghz to 3.72ghz....BSOD soon after login the window...which part i miss?

ahh.. sorry. i dont have much exp on ddr2..
and those i said might not valid (cuz last time, 400 divider is the most prefered divider to me )
