what about the MSI 790FX-GD70?

I am thinking about getting that one myself. It's cheaper than the ASUS board but it's fully loaded.

highest overclock i have seen was done on the formula but the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe also aint bad and has the best layout

Can you remember what the overclock was on the formula?

790fx is the top of the range crossfire chipset .

Not a big fan of MSI here , but asus and gigabyte are fine

Any real reasons to avoid MSI? In Canada it's the cheapest fully loaded 790fx board I can find.
