Feedback about the DFI LP DK 790FXB-M3H5

[werfu]

Hi, I'm in final build planning and I'd like to know if anybody has the DFI LP DK 790FXB-M3H5 motherboard? How is it, any comments? I've been decided on getting the Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P, as I realy trust Gigabyte and I've only read good review about it. But the 790FXb-M3H5 have been appaling lately because it's about 20$ less and has a PCI-e 16x more than the gigabyte.

Also, has anybody tried a Phenom II X2 550 on it and unlocked the two cores? I plan on getting one and betting the *** out of hit (and many reported that these CPU were realy 955 with two core disabled).

I'm curious too as to whether or not anyone has had luck with unlocking the 720 or the 550 BE Phenom IIs since DFI has supposedly written a bios upgrade to patch the ACC unlock that I read about on a DFI-oriented forum.

I was thinking about this board. But if it's not going to allow me to unlock/overclock the 720 or 550, I will just pay the extra 40 bucks for the MSI or Gigabyte or maybe even shell out the extra 60 bucks for the Asus Crosshair III.
