What's your fave 790GX mobo?

[perdomot]

Curious what the AMD crowd is recommending for this chipset. I have the Gigabyte 780G mobo but with the PHII price drop, it may be time for an upgrade and I'd like some opinions. Thanks.

I think some/most 780g boards accept PHII, bt might need a bios update. Which Gigabyte 780g board/revision do you have?

I am also lurking for a 790GX , but $s are tight .

Waiting for a really great deal .

ASRock AOD790GX , seen good reviews for this one ...

Been looking at the Asrock as well.

Can you tell us exactly which motherboard you have? You might not need to upgrade at all

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H mobo.

That board supports PHII, with a bios flash to F7 BIOS. No need to upgrade unless you just want to

I've already flashed the mobo but it lacks the ACC controls of the 790GX which allows for better OCing. The 790GXs are also atx mobos as opposed to matx so you get more pci slots.

Got my eye on this one at the moment.

Nice mobo for multi-gpu setup. Only plan to run 1 vid card myself. Also love the instant boot feature on Asrocks. Will Asus also have this as I think the two companies are related?

It's got something called Express Gate.
