Did anyone know bout 990FX-UD7 from Gigabyte?
The mobo layout is awesome i can say. Solid with black PCB. Nose bleeding seeing this baby.
Guys, may i know now who using 990 board? Brand + performance wise?
yes, d matte black pcb (like some asus gfx eg my ex 5770 cucore) is sexy, but d 990fx ud series has been bugged by vdroop issue, someone in xs even did a hardmod to fix that issue. not sayin that they aren't good as i believe all boards have their fair share of pros & cons, it depends on how a person can tolerate d con(s).
like what u knew, i've tested gd80 & chv. both are decent but i found both are a 'lil bit picky on ram. gd80 prefer psc sticks to go > 2k while chv is d other way round, elpida sticks worked fine @ 2k & above on d latter. could be user problem thou...
similarity on both is imc oc is gooding, 3k imc was a breeze (w/ decent volt), but no luck for higher freq on p95. homeworks not yet finished on both...
my personal pick would be asus m5a99x evo, very2 oc friendly board, only let down is fewer layer pcb & lesser phase in pwm.
