ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

NOW ON SALE WITH FREE 8GB RAM?

I saw this deal and was wondering how big of a difference there would be if any. My CPU is AMD Phenom II 955 OC to 4.0Ghz Stable, upgrading to the 8350 Next month btw.

Thanks.

P.S.
NO INTEL FANBOY BULL S***! IM NOT UPGRADING TO INTEL I DON"T HAVE THE MONEY!!!

4.0 on a 955 is great...

Ask your self what you gain with the upgrade... x-fire? Free Ram?

That Asrock board is worse than your 970a-UD3, OC wise. Its power design is only 4+1 phases, while 970a-ud3 has 8+2. If you want to OC with the fx8350 whenever you get it then I wouldn't advise changing the board. I don't even think that 990fx E3 is capable of housing a 4ghz phenom ii cpu stable. But final decision is still yours, depends on whether you really want that 8gb bar or not.

THanks man! Keeping my board. I mean I got my NB Stable at 2750Mhz so I guess this board is nicer then I thought. Btw my OC is actually 4.1Ghz forgot I got it stable at 4.1
