Hey,

should i get the Sabertooth 990fx R2.0 motherboard from Asus or something similar priced from AsRocK?I ask that question because i heard the have released a new motherboard for AM3+,if my infos are correct.

Do the Sabertooth still get Updates?
Which is more relieable? ASUS Or ASrock?

The Asus Sabertooth has one notable advantage, which is a five year warranty; that's likely the primary reason I bought mine (R1.0 though). It has performed flawlessly.
If you are going to spend that much money on a motherboard, your overall budget might support an Intel build, which is likely to be stronger in most tasks. I have both myself (see my .sig), and the i5 is much faster than the FX-8320.

The only problem is that i already have anything for 8 months .
My old M5A78L-M/USB3 die so im looking for a ne one. 😉

Ah, if you're just replacing a motherboard, then either choice would be decent. Note that you may need a new Windows license, although you may be able to get Microsoft to reactivate yours if you explain a dead board; they've done it for me.

Edit: Looks like Newegg still has the Sabertooth: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131877 for $180.

So which one is more relieable and has the better software?
Which is better cooled?
Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 or Asrock EXTREME6?

I own the Sabertooth REV 2 and it's a great board , the Asrock is pretty new to the market but has great specs , both great choices.

The Choice is so hard! (Sorry i did it again)

I like them both , the Asrock is newer one and spec wise for the money is the best choice.
