More AM3+ Motherboards

Hope to be buying the Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 AMD 990X or GA-990FXA-UD3 soon since i still havent got my am2+ board back from asus after about 2 months since i RMA it.

I'm leaning towards the Sabertooth,I ruled out Gigabyte since they are still not using UEFI on FX990.

It is UEFI, it just doesn't look like it. I'm wanting an ASUS board as well (thought not the Sabertooth), partly because their UEFI looks and feels much more thought through but also because I feel very comfortable with ASUS boards in general.

Darn shame they don't seem to be releasing a normal 990FX board anytime soon, I really have no use for a CHV or Sabertooth. I'd rather spend ~£120 and get 990FX and a decent UEFI and that's it. Guess I'll go for the M5A99X if nothing shows up soon. I really need a motherboard for the second 5850 I've bought. :D

The Asus M5A99X Evo looks nice,I think we'll see all boards before the Bulldozer is released anyway ;) ,my old 3800+ x2 based PC is dying for an upgrade,only the board/cpu/ram is what I need.
Asus M5A99X Evo is supposed to be released soon.

Are you sure? I thought it was hybrid UEFI which is the standard award bios with some kind of UEFI bodge on.

That might be a more apt description I guess. :P I dunno, I watched a quick hands-on on Sweclockers the other night and it does seem to have quite a few of UEFI's features, even though the UI looks like crap in comparison to other offerings. Seeing as it's available on all sorts of P67 and G41 boards though, I'm guessing they've had to strip the pretty due to memory constraints in the old BIOS chips.
 
I'm in two minds whether to wait a little while and buy one of the new AM3+ boards or buy the current deal on the Asus Crosshair IV Formula AMD 890FX.

I'm currently running a Phenom ii X6 1050T on a Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P but looking to do a little upgrade. I'm also in the process of buying the deal on 8GB of Corsair ram too.

UEFI does not mean a pretty interface that is just an option of using the UEFI framework, there are plenty of boards using proper UEFI that have standard legacy looking interface. I do not think GB are using the UEFI frame work.

I'm looking at the M5A99X, but it doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere in the UK. Might order it from Sweden, they'll have it in stock early next week. They're already selling the UD3.
