MSI has been producing some solid boards lately, try out their 890FX and see how things go. I am happy and a pig in ____ with my MSI 890GX driving my x6 1055T to 4.0Ghz.

thanks but the mobo that just died and i was having so much trouble with was a MSI 790FX-GD70.

i narrowed it down to the ASRock i mentioned previously and:

ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131363

and:

BIOSTAR TA890FXE
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138193

they all have what i need but out of those three BIOSTAR is the lowest priced so i went with it, already ordered. it has mixed reviews but i'm willing to take a chance because i want to save $ where i can and try a brand that's new to me. have had many MSI, GIGABYTE, ASUS mobos in the past. this is just a semi temporary solution anyway as i will probably do a complete new build in the next year or so.

anyone with this BIOSTAR mobo have any need-to-know pointers for 140W CPU, 4x2GB 1600 1.5V RAM, RAID 0, and CrossFire setup?

thanks superccs, thanks all!
