ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: set up was easy. bios is super easy!! board runs cool (92'f idle) Got it for $150 after promo sale & $20 off with gift card that i received for buying the FX6100.

Cons: it didnt install by its self.

Overall Review: i kept reading the reviews about the FX chip not booting and you need to update bios first....i took a chance and it work on first boot! showed FX6100 from the start. i updated to the new bios and then started overclocking. Gskill sniper mem @ 1866mhz, FX6100 stable now for 3 weeks @ 4153Mhz temp undar water cool idles at 83'f and while playing BF3 on max settings cpu never has gotton over 103'f !!!! I am sure that i could get higher speeds but what for?? this is all i need.

Pros: Semi modular, wires are long enough for good management. 4-12v rails is perfect to run my 2 gtx 680's overclock and my amd FX6300 is overclocked to 4.5ghz and the juice is flowing with no problems.

Cons: none so far...why will it not talk to me???

Overall Review: After reading the reviews of people liking and disliking this PS for different reasons i decided to go with this PS. Works fine for me and it was about $50 cheaper than the big name brands.
