AM3+ mobo for 840 Pro

[kooshini]

Please can anyone with a AM3+ motherboard and an AMD FX-XXX processor who also has a samsung 840 Pro please post your motherboard model?

I need to buy another one and want to ensure compatibility with someone who already has one set-up with an 840 Pro all working.

Thanks.

Of all the parts affected by compatibility, the hard drive would be at the bottom of that list. As long as the motherboard is compatible with your CPU, you will be fine.

In that thread I see the blame put on Windows, not the motherboard.

I have secure wiped and set-up AHCI mode again as (separate drives) and I have just tried with Windows 7, same issue with slow speeds even with the chipset drivers from ASUS website. It seems like anything Windows on my motherboard on this firmware doesn't work but Linux is fine....

If it runs fine in Linux, then I would presume the slowness is a software/firmware issue.
