Are there any AMD mATX 9xx Boards?

I've been looking ever since Bulldozer was about to come out for an AM3+ mATX board, especially one that doesn't have video on board as I want to use a separate card! Can't find any at Newegg, only 880G and 790! What gives?

Because you should use an Intel one?

Yeah I like the micro ATX format as well and am also confused why there aren't that many available.

doubt that's what AMD wants me to do 🙂
but if I don't find one I might just do it

Having Onboard Video does not prevent you from using a separate Video Card. My Mobo has Onboard video, but I use a 5870.


Asus and MSI have AM3+ mATX mobos, there might be others out there though.

You can run a dedicated video card on a motherboard with integrated graphics.

I am doing it on this computer actually.

I know but I'd rather have more USB ports than a video port I'm never going to use 🙂

Getting a USB Hub would solve that problem.

There are usually unused usb headers on the Mobo itself, im sure you could use USB back plate (or similar) to help mitigate the issue also.
