Hi, I'm planning to change my Asrock 990fx extreme3 by a new better one.
I want to OC my vishera FX 8350 to, at least, @4.8 GHZ. I don't know which of the following mobos is the best for OC and gaming with a crossfire configuration.

1. Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0==> 145€
2. Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z==> 205€
3. Asrock 990fx Extreme9==> 170€
4. Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional ==> 163€

Please I need consistent responses, is the Extreme Engine Digi+ II, from formula-z, much better than ASUS DIGI+, from sabertooth, to reach that 4.8Ghz?
And what about 12+2 power phases from asrock 990fx extreme9 and fatal1ty?

Well, which one is better considering the money?
Thanks. 😀
 
whats your cooler


Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0

These are the best ones. Either will be fine but its not guaranteed that your chip will reach 4.8GHz some can come can't
