I think I'm pretty settled on the Sabertooth now actually, it'll give me the ability to run trifire later on if need be. Now I just need a darn release date.

Same here,I just need to wait for Bulldozer 8 core CPU to go with it,my 3800+ x2 CPU and NF4 board are in need of an urgent upgrade.

I'm sticking my B55 in it for the time being, saves me the pain of buying both a board and a CPU at the same time thankfully... will give my current board and CPU to my girlfriend when Zambezi's out.

Just spotted that, brilliant.

Quite a nice selection now! My personal (and fairly educated guess) is that most models will have an ETA next week.

Quick question, no need for another thread ?

Will my 955 X4 Phenom work in this board?

Says it will but i have to check as im a bonehead !

BigAndy87 · 8 Jun 2011 at 14:43

yup it will

bonehead666 · 8 Jun 2011 at 14:44

Thanks, pre-order on then

SeeKified · 8 Jun 2011 at 14:51

I'm doing a similar thing, got an unlocked 555 that I'm gonna stick in one of these boards shortly. Will be quite nice.

Nope, probably the Asus M5A99X. Or, if I feel like spending, the Sabertooth. But they all work the same, so...

Does anyone know which slots on the Sabertooth are x16? I need to make sure the PCI slot isn't blocked by a card as I'll want to stick my X-Fi in there.

BigAndy87 · 8 Jun 2011 at 15:22

the pci slot will b blocked its the two white slots that are x16 i believe on the sabertooth

Here is a brand new review of the Asus M5A97 Evo

Good review for a entry level motherboard.

BigAndy87 · 8 Jun 2011 at 15:52

ASUS M5A97 evo seems quite nice, although did seem to auto overclock abit to much on that review but am sure newer bioses can fix that

Watch you ping improve by .01ms!

Darn no GA-990FXA-UD3 up for pre order i hope ocuk get some in since it's the perfect board.

mmj_uk · 9 Jun 2011 at 11:36

When's are these boards actually available to buy? Crosshair V looks amazing.

It seems strange to have a paper launch considering there's a slew of processors already out that are compatible with them.
