Both good MBs. The Asus being the better of the two imo. And at a good price, if I convert pounds to dollars correctly.

You can go thru the boards' specs, but I don't know of many outside of miniITX that come equipped with Bluetooth. Here is one I found doing a quick search. It is a bit expensive and is targeted more towards the gaming enthusiast.

Here are a couple reviews of the board:

Nice one thanks for the info.I can only find one retailer selling this mobo! It is like 2 years old... must have been some of the first 990 boards. Is there no newer ones supporting onboard bluetooth?? Its just so my mouse and keyboard boot at bios instead of using a 2.4ghz usb keyboard. There must be a high end board supporting bluetooth with an am3+ socket! why should intelget bluetooth....

I don't have any Bluetooth devices, so that is something I never looked into. Afraid I can't help other than what I sent.

Are you saying your wireless USB keyboard/mouse wouldn't be recognized in BIOS at boot? So you went to Bluetooth instead? Or am I not understanding?

iTS BECaUSE I USE MY PC ON SCREES ALL ROUND THE HOUSE, SO USB 2.4GHZ KEYBORDS ARE NO GOOD.
So onboard bluetooth would be beneficial.

Bought myself a Asus Sabertooth 990fx Rev 2 board which should arrive in the next few hours. We shall see if this fixes my problems....

That's a very good board. Assuming you aren't unlucky enough to end up with one that is DOA ;)  , you should be very satisfied. And if your current processor is holding you back, you can move up to a Vishera 6-core or 8-core.
