Oh, That also applies to the FX (Bulldozer) CPU's.

I will post a thread like I did with the AM3+ MoBo.

....and, just about ALL the Asus 9xx Boards WILL be a Crosshair V of some variation or another...

So, the question still stands.

I say include all Crosshair V 9xx variations into the same thread. Forumla, Extreme, and any others Asus does.

This deserves consideration; we will have a poll.

It may be good to include all ASUS 990FX chipset ??????????

Or it may be good to include all ASUS 9XX chipset ??????????

darthjoe229 · May 13, 2011

Just my two cents, I think the Crosshair's ROG features make it a standout from other boards, even the TUF ones.
