I'm definitely curious to know the results of peoples' experiences with FX processors and this board. I think I'll probably stay with my 960T X6 though.

On a separate note from FX compatibility, would someone here be willing to try something on their board for me? I've undervolted my 960T to try and save as much power as possible. This board only allows a measly -0.06V maximum undervolt which is almost a waste of time (it saves about 5-10W on idle and 10-15W on load), but if the computer goes into standby, when it resumes the undervolting setting doesn't get applied until the computer is restarted. Hence I use hibernate mode instead of sleep. I'd like to know whether everyone else with the same board has the same issue.

ASUS support was as much help as a chocolate teapot when I asked them about it.
