ASUS Offers Full Support for AMD FX-9000 Series CPUs with Existing 990-FX Boards

ASUS Offers Full Support for AMD FX-9000 Series CPUs with Existing 990-FX Boards

ASUS issued a press-release in which they announce d that its existing 990FX-based motherboards all support the new flagship AMD FX-9000 Series processors at memory speeds up to 2400 MHz, without the need for a BIOS update.

The ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z, Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 and M5A99FX Pro R2.0 motherboards all feature AM3+ Socket with full support for AMD's extreme-performance FX-9370 and FX-9590 processors. With eight-cores and unlocked clock speeds up to 5 GHz, the FX-9000 Series requires incredible amounts of power and generates considerable heat - AMD recommends a 1200 W power supply and liquid processor cooling.

Existing ASUS 990FX motherboards not only take the FX-9000 Series in their stride, straight from the box, but also support rock-solid stability at memory speeds up to 2400 MHz - something that currently cannot be attained by 990FX-based motherboards from other vendors.

"ASUS is a market leader in the motherboard industry, thanks to the quality and innovation of its products," said Roy Taylor, Corp Vice President of Global Channel Sales at AMD. "The out-of-the-box support for AMD FX-9000 Series processors offered by its 990FX-based motherboards is further proof of the solid design and high-quality components for which ASUS has long been renowned. In fact it's so good, I used the same motherboard in my PC at home."

For ASUS motherboard to fully support that Power-Plant-Eating-Monster out of the box brings 2 concerns for thought.

Either ASUS Mobos are way more outstandingly/exceptionally better when compared to competitors OR the competitors Mobos are really, really lacking in quality for them to not support the CPU out of the box. Hmm.....

And no, it might look that those 2 concerns are the same/similar but they are far from it. But since it requires just a BIOSes update, it meants it just a software-hardware related thing.

Edit: Maybe ASUS just had support for 5Ghz/1.5V+/250W support already integrated in the bios while others had to issue an update to make those changes/support. Probably that why the straight support.

Sabertooth 990FX R2.0/Gen3 R2.0 and Chrossair Formula-Z support those 220W CPUs, the M5A99X EVO R2.0 and M5A99FX R2.0 are listed as supported, so it will work, but will pretty much fry the VRM's in a couple of months, they have only 8 phases vs 10 on the Sabertooth R2.0 and Formula-Z, and half the VRMs (no vrm's on the backside of the motherboard), I have the Sabertooth R2.0 and when overclocking to 4.7GHz with 1.45V I can't keep my fingers on the VRM's radiator on either sides of the motherboard they go to at least 90C, put that on 8 phases, half the VRM's and not that good vrm cooling and you get the ideea....
