Hey guys,
I'm planning on making a new mediocre gaming (SLI) config using motherboards with this chipset, so I'm asking for your opinions.
MB: Asus Crosshair V Formula Z (including non Z) and MSI 990FXA Gaming comes to my mind.
- AM3+, DDR3 @ 2133MHz (O.C.), 42 PCIe 2.0 lanes
CPU: AMD FX 8370/9590
- Both unlocked, compatible with 1866MHz DDR3
I'm confused with is, is this the speed limit or what?
I mean, If I OC (BIOS) the DDR3 to work at 2133, will it work actually at that speed, or it will work at 1866 although showing me 2133?
DDR3: 2x HyperX Savage 8GB (@2133MHz)
GPU (2-way SLI): GTX 590/580 based (PCIe 2.0)
- ASUS ROG MARS II
or
- EVGA GTX 580 CLASSIFIED Ultra
My goal is to make everything work at it's full, so to speak.
So If you have any thoughts/advice/suggestion about this, please let me know. I would like to hear it.
Thanks in advance.

My goal is to make everything work at it's full, so to speak.
- If MB supports max 2133MHz DDR3, so I'd put those types of modules.
- If MB supports 16x16x8 on PCIe 2.0, so I'd put two strongest PCIe 2.0 graphics cards in SLI.
So If you have any thoughts/advice/suggestion about this, please let me know. I would like to hear it.
Thanks in advance.
