Hey everyone,
This is my first thread here and I really hope that I will get help or actually confirmation to my choice.
I had issues with my old m5a97 r2.0 so I was thinking about
GA-990FXA-UD3 - 165$
M5A99X EVO R2.0 - 175$
M5A99FX PRO R2.0 - 185$
SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 - 250$
First thing first, I'm buying motherboard for my current FX8350 / 7950 or eventually gtx770 + 8 GB DDR3 1600. NOTHING MORE. I have in plan to overclock FX8350 with my current EVO212 if I have luck on 4.5-4.6 at most.
Now reasons and why I'm asking for this particular board.
GA-990FXA-UD3 - It's gigabyte..I need solid overclock mobo and they have ONLY 1.2 revision.
M5A99X EVO R2.0 - Probably best mobo for this money here and it's available to be ordered now.
M5A99FX PRO R2.0 - I would need to wait couple weeks.
SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 - It's good motherboard I agree but I will not upgrade my CPU on this board 9xxx series, if they make new chipset at the end of the year or next I would need new mobo anyways and I will try to go for Intel until then.
With that being said A99X and A99FX are my winners. Difference is that A99X has one more sata connector but only one full slot for gpu right ? I dont intend to build crossfire anytime soon on this motherboard. Also it's 6+2 phase on A99X and this is my concern. Is that good enough for 4.5-4.6 on FX8350 ?
Also I had Raidmax 635ap power supply but it's really unstable so I ordered 650W LC Power Silent Giant, LC6650GP3 V2.3, max combined 550w and when I compared those two LC is actually winning and if I do recall well LC is usually better ?
Thanks !
