Where are all the 790X and 790FX boards??

[hemi345]

Seems only Gigabyte has some available while MSI/ASUS/ABIT are "out of stock" or MIA.

I'm surprised none of the popular review sites have inquired or mentioned what is going on.

Anyone know??

Your right though most other manufacturers dont seem to have stock anywhere. The MSI looks the best i believe, but i dont even know of any reviews... maybe becuase phenom has had so many issues?

People over in the UK are getting their hands on DFI/Sapphire 790FX boards and they run the X2 line of CPUs extremely well. That was my plan till the Phenom gets worked out.

they do support pci-e 2.0?

 

[hemi345]

the 790FX? yes.

apparently the plan was that once 4 gpus are fitted they all run at 8x... but because the slots are PCI-e2.0 that actually doubles the bandwidth over the 8x connection... hence theoretically they should get ~bandwidth as a PCI-e1.0 16x

Asus, Gigabyte & MSI available in the UK havemn't seen the DFI yet.
There is a suggestion that some of the mobo companies are holding off to use the SB700 instead of SB600.
