Newegg TV: ASUS AMD AM3+ 900-series Chipset Motherboards

[Carloscorleone1]

This JJ dude knows his shit for real, having chosen the M5A99x over the ASRock 990FX Extreme4, it was reassuring to have someone that laid it all out and left me in no doubt I'd made the right choice. Nuff respect JJ!!

[foot1647]

Just want to add... The UEFI bios is in the simplest terms, AMAZING!

[TAWkingjames]

@foot1647 Cool, thanks for the reply, now I cant wait till I get my Sabertooth

[coltfizz]

Excuse my ignorance, but you can use an intel cpu on any of these boards correct?

[foot1647]

@coltfizz No, You can only put an Intel chip in an Intel board and an AMD chip into an AMD board. A big difference is the pins and location of said pins, not to mention Intel cpu's have no pins, they are in the board. AMD cpu pins are in the physical chip itself.

[asaaasaaaa]

@coltfizz No, sorry. :)

Intel and AMD use very different motherboards (though they usually both have many of the same features). And on top of that, different AMD and Intel chips may even need different boards!

[coltfizz]

@asaaasaaaa Thanks so much:D, saved my life, may i ask you, will these all work together? will an evga gtx 550 ti,sony optiarc 18x sata dvd rom drive, asus p8p67-m motherboard, an Intel i3-2120 processor, a hyper 212 plus cpu cooler, corsair vengence 8gb(2x4gb) DDR3 ram, Cooler master gx 750W PSU, Cooler master HAF ATX mid tower case and an 250 GB 7200 RPM hard drive with 8MB cache?

[Kachel94]

lol can you get a guy form GIGABYTE to explain their boards with am3+?

[TAWkingjames]

@TAWkingjames Sorry I forgot to add, my question is for the Sabertooth



[wagdbikerider]

nothing but the best. crosshair V your mine. ive never been more pumped for a mobo in all my life

[Jeremy9981]

Just ordered my Sabertooth 990FX Motherboard, can't wait for it!!! :)

[jakeb1997]

I was just sold on amd/asus for my build. 

[JayTheProgrammer]

Just for spite I've upgraded my pre-build list to include the 8120, couple that with 32GB of the Corsair 1600 and the Crossfire V mobo... well lololol, do I need to mention I also am getting two Asus GTX 560s :) Yea I won't need to upgrade for a LONG time...

[TheSeanmccowliff]

i have the M5A99X EVO with an AMD FX6100 cpu overclocked to 4.0GHz and it beasts everything i throw at it. great mobo and cpu combination.

[JayTheProgrammer]

I just ordered the AMD 990FX and can't freggin wait :) It's the Crosshair V board btw :)

[J0n3eR4M]

@JayTheProgrammer trololol, amd bulldozers are shit

[JayTheProgrammer]

@J0n3eR4M maybe for what you're using it for. however, it suits my needs sufficiently.

[J0n3eR4M]

@JayTheProgrammer are you talking about the cpu or mobo? dont really look into amd but the bulldozer doesnt have proper cores, the "8 core" has more likes 4-5 proper cores. it gets beaten by a 2500k in most benchmarks, but suppose if your happy with it

[ThatOneJaredAndLucas]

@J0n3eR4M can I slap you now or later?

[J0n3eR4M]

@ThatOneJaredAndLucas dont even try to defend the bulldozer series

[ThatOneJaredAndLucas]

@J0n3eR4M k lets see the 2600k i7 vs a 8150 and when you find a link to a comparison video pm me the link...

[J0n3eR4M]

@ThatOneJaredAndLucas :L give up fanboy, i like amd because their cheap, i use their graphics cards but their cpu's arent as good as intel. admit it, stop being stuborn.

watch?v=5HNSwWKIuBY

in pretty much every benchmark the 2500k + 2600k wins. the ones the bulldozer wins in are like the pointless ones and by a small margin

[ThatOneJaredAndLucas]

@J0n3eR4M K I will admit I am an AMD fanboy, I used to like intel untill I realized how much they suck ass its basically like mac vs pc, intel is an over priced piece of shit like mac and AMD is inexpensive and twice the performance like pc, I just built a new pc with amd 8120, XFX 6870 ( possible getting another one ) 16gb skill ram, msi 990fxa-GD65 mobo ( military class ) 850w kingwin power supply and so on, my point being I can run All games on this rig so there for tell me about your pc

[J0n3eR4M]

@ThatOneJaredAndLucas :L its nothing like pc vs mac, because in this case, the more expensive intel is better. i have a intel i7 2600k 16gb hyperX ram, msi z68a-g43 g3 xfx 6870 850 OCZ gold psu? so why are you asking about my rig?:L i can also run all games, the cpu doesnt make you run games better (unless you've got a single core celeron and a gtx 590, my cpu is faster at 3d renering, video editing, encoding and all editing

[ThatOneJaredAndLucas]

@J0n3eR4M I was on a budget, and I know the cpu doesn't run games faster.... I'm just gonna stop cause you have your opinion and I have mine, thats all that really matters am I right? :)

[quigley61]

mighty fine haircut J.J has in this video

[junitono1]

Paul and J.J. <3

[slipknoter106]

So I can use SLI on my new M5A97? If so, I'll be one happy camper! I heard in other videos you couldn't and I was a little disapointed.

[Dmanplayer723]

@slipknoter106 No sorry man only crossfire with that board, if you want both SLI and crossfire support you have to get either the sabertooth board or the crosshair board...

[TheFlyingRaccoon]

I am going to go eat some bacon. When I get back this better be the top comment.

[jaroshus]

it would be cool if they think how to make dual cpu

[Touification]

@jaroshus Dual CPU already exists, but is used for server purposes and not desktop\gaming purposes. Varies on compatibility, glitches and other issues for normal usage.

[timithy1]

he is so happy that the red one has 7 sata but the gigabyte that im getting has 8, the motherboard i have now thats like 3 years old has 8 too O_o

[Texan4Life706]

great vid. been about 5 years since i built my last comp. Fell out of the loop tech wise. Have had great results from asus mobos before so i checked out this video.. Gonna use a sabertooth mobo for my new AMD build!

[inferneerim]

is that a thermaltake frio in that case behind?

[guitarist367]

SOLD!!!! :D

[oziitricker]

I can't believe it actually last 31 minutes... Very informative and comprehensive overview!

[0Goldeneye0]

I just bought the Sabertooth and a FX-6100. Now I heard its recommended to update the bios on the motherboard before installing the new Processor (AMD3+ CPUs)

I was wondering how do you do that?

[JEHERETIC]

@0Goldeneye0 I personally update bios before I do anything else..

[Artas1984]

I am changing from AMD 800 to AMD 900 not because of SLI or AMD FX, but because i am tired of FLOPPY and IDE connectors..

[PxKinRea]

Im drooling at this x.x

[Jlowe258]

I've heard too many ASUS horrors stories about customer service, tech support, and QC to jump Intel ship. Has this changed at all?

[cockercane]

@Jlowe258 I knew nothing about modern computers (still know next to nothing), learned what I needed to do my own build (the second computer I've owned since my childhood Commodore 128), chose Asus and Amd components, made plenty of newb mistakes and gamed on my Asus rig for nearly seven years. The latest games don't run as beautifully as they once did, but I can't tell you how good their tech support is. I never needed it. That's my testimony. Now I'm researching a new build with Asus and Amd.

[narutoninjutsu]

@Jlowe258 I don't know much about the whole thing, but I've been buying from ASUS for about a year, and have been very happy with all of my purchases, I've yet to get a DOA, so I haven't had to call for service (But I buy through Newegg and they're good about service). But whatever you decide, I just thought I'd chip in.

[slavefeet57]

@Jlowe258 I've never had problems with asus me and my 3 buddies built our computers at the same time and we all have Asus boards and haven't had a problem with any of them were going on 2 1/2 years now

[KillerCinemaHD]

i should be getting my ASUS Crosshair V Formula,amd phenom ii x6 1055t in the mail tomorow :d

[Bad207]

This guy can TALK FOR DAYS!!!

[tonysshadow]

I love the relationship AMD has with its board makers. For a few years it seemed like MSI was the golden boy. When I bought my ASUS M2n32 board 5 or 6 years ago, it was a typical scenario... one board maker starts run amok...so look for another. I struck GOLD with that M2n32-SLI Deluxe. Its still going strong today with much forum support. Matter of fact, Ive gone thru two PSU and three crappy graphics card to serve that same board. ASUS definitely getting my repeat business and then some.

[mooman219]

MERRY CHRISTMAS. Now, G3T ME THIS NAOW!!!!

[RexJoker]

J.J. your the best bro. Christmas for me will be great thanks for the help.

[Senakasri]

3d studio Max And after effect run I want to good Computar

[revenant3154]

"So that's a nice plus."

[UARAF16]

8:58 Optimal air fo plath. :P

[TheMortalpain]

will these mobos work with a AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition

[SeventeenSixtyCA]

@TheMortalpain yes, i have the same cpu and plan on using one of those mobos for my new build

[mustangcrazy444]

@TheMortalpain yes but i would recommend AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core CPU

[TheMortalpain]

@mustangcrazy444 sorry but i really need a cpu for gaming which the bulldozer fails at

[yuptydoo]

@TheMortalpain

Get the Phenom 1100T. End of story haha

[TheMortalpain]

@yuptydoo its ok i got an i5 2500K

[DMAFilm]

Omfg a 4-way with SLI? What a slut ;)

[alphakr3w]

This video made me subscribe to the Newegg channel. By the way, very good job J.J.

[LUVDATPUSPUS69]

I literally just stared at the screen and watched his mouth move ... What the fuck did he say?

[mouldycrouton]

tl;dw

[Baxxter101]

Also, I love how the newegg guy looks like a clueless retarded toolbag anytime he nods, talks, or asks about anything.

Well done JJ. Fail Paul.

[Baxxter101]

Hey NewEgg...  Give an update on the status of this wonderful knowledgeable gentleman who goes by the name of JJ!

(for fuck sake, dude talked about 3 similar mobos like a boss for a solid half an hour without ever boring me!!) GIVE DUDE MOAR MONEYS! No joke, dude just sold me on asus/amd, and I've been an xfx/intel guy for a while now...

[jackovirgo]

you've got me sold

[Baxxter101]

J.J. you just sold me on going AMD and ASUS for my upcoming build. Hope you get a wicked bonus and a raise bro.

[Benzo2009]

So, not sure If I missed it in the video, but can an am3 cpu fit the am3+ socket on these new motherboards? Thanks for the replies.

[lsinr86]

sprinkled...

[Baxxter101]

Wow, awesome job blue/purpleish shirt ASUS guy! I've never been so thrilled by a 30 minute super nerd video before. 15:55 was funny; dumbass black shirt asks blue guy "Do you know what controller those are running?" Um, yes, blue shirt guy does know... mmkay...

[Baxxter101]

Damn, that guy knows what he's talking about! Give him a raise! Or a bonus.

[killaddict12]

an expand for 4way? you must further take my money!

[yotchsy]

great English !

lot information was given to you

but i know you came here for the the Crosshair V

can you do the same review but in Spanish

here in Venezuela we got a lot computer geeks too

[mewimi]

8 SATA is not enough :/

[josephoo7]

@mewimi agreed, I rock 4x 1.5TB drives, 2x SSDs, 2x ODDs, 1x BD

[mewimi]

@josephoo7 You using any cards? I am all maxed out on ports and I wanted to add a 0 RAID SSD configuration to my already existing SSD lol

[josephoo7]

@mewimi I have a cheapie 4x PCIE SATA card for my 3 ODDs...I run a 3TB RAID 10 and 160GBs of SSDs in a RAID 0...I have a Coolermaster ATCS 840 case that is a FUCKING BEAST and I love it....tri GTX 260s, AMD 965, MSI 790i board...16GB GSkill Ripjaw RAM.....watercooled with a 360x120, 240x120, and a 120x120 mm set of rads

[mewimi]

@josephoo7 I didnt push for water cooling I definitely dont need it haha. But my setup is 2 ODD, 1x SSD, 2x 500GB RAID 1, 2x 2T RAID 1 and I think Im forgetting something but w/e lol

[mewimi]

Oh and 2x 6850s under a 1090T AMD processor I wish I went for crosshair formula V Though lol.

[LaughterOnWater]

There's something for every level of understanding in these NewEgg TV segments. They can be fairly long, but they're packed with geekity goodness. Well done.

[ChazZeromus]

What really smacked me was the Xpander.

[0oDarkLordRevano0]

Bulldozer is a true letdown :(

[PuppiloveBunni]

can you use a AM3 chipset with this AM3+ Mobo?

[RJOPhoto]

great video.. very thorough and helpful. thanks. newegg rocks

[lukcus]

Any way that we will see something like asus‑l1n64‑sli again, but for the more recent am3/am3+ 8 core cpus?

[chetopuffs]

Your mics are peaking. Just something to think about while recoding in the future.

[MontagesnMore]

JUST BOUGHT THIS! CAN'T WAIT TILL IT COMES IN!!!

[MontagesnMore]

JUST BOUGHT THIS! CAN'T WAIT TILL IT COMES IN!!!

[markussol]

Can ASUS Crosshair V Formula, Socket-AM3+ handle AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition ? please answer :)

[dethmetalderique]

@markussol YES

[kexi95]

@markussol

of course

[altimahww]

@markussol yes , why not

[stonecoldtrk]

i kept trying to clean my screen but it was the dots on their walls. u guys should get those

[kahEsONLINE]

where are the differents between the Asus M5A97 and the Asus M5A97/Evo //PRO ?

[mayhemnmischief]

@kahEsONLINE IIRC, bios.

[seirv0621]

5 people perfer intel

[1986Chaitanya]

@seirv0621 only intel.

[RandomTuber782]

Quick question for J.J. What do I do when my uber expensive mobo fails do to a simple factory oversight? Do I call Asus's wonderful tech support team, or do I cut out the middle man and just burn my wallet?

[RaidenRaccoon2]

Dear Gawd I want that Crosshair V board in my gaming rig!

[Smedley895]

Anyone know if a am3 processor can be used on a am3+ socket motherboard, if anyone knows please reply to this comment using @smedley895 or the reply button so i see it :D

[jrovang]

@Smedley895 Yes you can use an AM3 CPU in the AM3+ socket.

[Smedley895]

@jrovang Cool thank you for answering

[altimahww]

@Smedley895 yes it is backward comptible

[Mutherzmilk]

@ 3:30 Pauls thinking FUUUCK 30 minutes of this shit LOL

JK He is boring but I love ASus and it products so he gets a pass

[stianrj1]

AMD V series V160 / 2.4 GHz is this good to a laptop ? :) ok gamer laptop with that? :) answer! <3

[hikinguphigh]

if i get the asus crosshair formula can i put 2 amd 6970 2gb in and and pci-e sound card

kind regards

[hikinguphigh]

whats better a 2gb amd 6970 or 2 lets say 6670 1gb cards

kind regards

[jrovang]

@hikinguphigh 6970, hands down.

[themetalgod50]

can i put a am3 heat sienk on a am3+ motherboard

[Fedelish]

@themetalgod50 Yes.

[defan88]

Who else got wood when he started talking about the Sabertooth mobo?

[SoCalDude805]

I'm a nerd, I watched the whole thing and was interested the whole time =/. I just did an AMD build last year, so I'll wait till ivy bridge comes out to see what I'll go for. I hope AMD makes a good comeback bulldozer though.

[TravisAxel]

These guys are total bros. Im totally getting a Sabertooth when Bulldozer finally comes out.

[ActionFigureReview]

Just bought it thanks. Video helped my decision....

[DanTheVikingr]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

[Orvtrebor]

Asus should give this guy a raise. By far the best tech based spokesmen I've seen from any company in a long time.

[purepetroleumjellly]

@Orvtrebor im not saying hes a crappy spokesmen i just get pissed at the way he acts, plus he never looks at the camera wtf

[398221002]

do mother boards have less lag when gaming and up grahics?

[AJDeLeons]

@398221002 lol they dont not give you better graphics not for sure about giving you better speed

[DjD3vlyn]

defiantly putting the sabertooth in my next build

[YourFreeToys]

I plan on using PCIE slots 1 and 3 so I can get two cards in x16 but I have a concern about the top PCIE slot. With the below linked card plugged in what are my chances of still being able to use the small black PCI slot below for the also below linked adapter ?

Video Card - NewEgg Produt ID: N82E16814127589

PCI Adapter - NewEgg Product ID: N82E16815201035

Again, my concern is losing that PCI slot with a card in the top PCIE slot.

Links removed because of youtube, why I gave ID's.

[playstationRLZ]

i overclock, but not insanely... so that sabertooth is mines :)

[cellphonelightsaber]

@playstationRLZ I want me mah sabertooth too! VERY comfortable price/performance range!

[yalman32]

quick question when will the next bios launch cuz ur current one suck wit amd !! x 4 chips

[RandomAdrian19]

So you are able to Place a Am3 into these new motherboards? I have a AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition, So that should be able to work in...lets say the "CrossHair V Formula"?

[jrovang]

@RandomAdrian19 AM3 will drop right into the AM3+

[hansaru]

I may have missed it....but is the ASUS M5A97 EVO SLi ready?

[okk12]

he did a bad job of describing compatibility, the new bulldozer cpus will only fit into an am3+ socket whether it be a 700 series, 800 series, or 900 series chipset. however, u can put an old am3 cpu in a new am3+ socket, allowing u to upgrade to a bulldozer down the road.

[HALOisthebest100]

Do you guys rec. to get a crosshair if i dont overclock?

[badis23]

he speaks like tito ortiz

[mikeallensonntag]

This asus rep was very good, He actually knows what he is talking about. I love how much detail he went into.

[navyteccs]

does this mean i can have a nvidia card and a radeon card in the same computer?

[mikeallensonntag]

@navyteccs yes u can have both, But obviously you cant sli/xfire them.

[delameu]

no 5 way sli???

[mattmanmovies]

@delameu it doesn't exist yet

[daman799]

THeres no games that requires 4way sli Thats just beast

[ShadowwwLFS]

@daman799 Battlefield 3 :P

[terrac1de]

I really cant wait until I get my new Crosshair V and Gskill ripjaws 8gb 2133 ram! (buying from newegg) On the graphics cards, I have been looking at the ROG Matrix gtx 580, and I am wondering if those cards are too large to run triple SLI on this board?

[ASUSIlluminati]

@terrac1de

This sound like a beast of a build. I would advise you only consider 2 way SLI while 3 way is support you would really need to overclock the system to really get close to needing the CPU speed to not bottleneck the performance of 3 GTX580's. Additionally unless you have multi monitors you would be much better off considering an upgrade to the sound card like a Xonar Xense or something else instead of a 3rd GPU. Thanks for the view and support.

[terrac1de]

@ASUSIlluminati I am doing a total upgrade, and I will be purchasing a Zambezi 8 core when they become available.. I am upgrading from an Asus M4N82 Deluxe SLI board with Phenom II x4 955BE, Gskill DDRII 1200 and 2 Geforce GTX 295's in quad SLI. a 650w Antec 3 rail PSU and a PC Power and Cooling 1kw PSU in a Silverstone TJ07 case.. I would hope that those 2 580's in DX11 would at least match the performance of my quad SLI setup I have now in DX10. can you confirm this? thanx for the info.

[terrac1de]

@ASUSIlluminati PS .. I have a Viewsonic 22" 120hz 3d LCd monitor and an Epson Powerlite Pro cinema 7500UB 1080p projector attatched to my PC and I have an Nvidia 3d vision kit I use with my monitor .. Im looking for power to drive these displays which is why I built the beast of a rig I have now, and why I am looking for a new DX11 beast. I will then retire my current rig to a 2nd PC I can use for 3ds Max, Truespace, Crysis, Crysis2 and Unreal engine modding in my spare time.

[jkumarinho]

is the crosshair5 compatible with this cpu:AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban. i want to build my computer and i am ordering everything from newegg.

[DaftSneak]

@jkumarinho Hi Phenom IIX6 1100T(HDE00ZFBK6DGR),3.3GHz,12­5W,rev.E0,SocketAM3,6-Core is supported

[jkumarinho]

can you confirm that i should buy this processor 2. file:///C:/Documents%20and%20S­ettings/user/Desktop/my%20comp­uter/Newegg.com%20-%20Computer­%20Parts,%20PC%20Components,%2­0Laptop%20Computers,%20LED%20L­CD%20TV,%20Digital%20Cameras%2­0and%20more!.htm

to work with the crosshair5.

[jkumarinho]

@jkumarinho there is a link to the processor



[ASUSIlluminati]

@DaftSneak

Yes all AM3 based CPUs are fully support on all our AM3+ boards. Thanks for the view and the support.

[ASUSIlluminati]

@jkumarinho

Yes it is no worries it is drop in compatible. Thanks for the view and the support.

[samgeekthebrave]

That guy is very well spoken!

[ASUSIlluminati]

@samgeekthebrave

Thank you appreciate the support and the view. Kudos!

[mariothesharkfucker]

@samgeekthebrave I agree, he is actually helpful. No wonder ASUS sent him.

[ComedyChannel7]

@samgeekthebrave Of course, he is a salesman.

[Sileni]

@samgeekthebrave Because he's a minority he speask so well, huh? Sheesh!

[YourFreeToys]

Did you guys make a goin crazy video that the ASUS guy said might happen with you guys possibly doin a 4 way SLI setup towards the end ?

If so what's the link ?

[sh4rkbyt3]

JJ my bro!!!

[ASUSIlluminati]

@sh4rkbyt3

LOL thanks!

[Luger718A1]

companys should have like a built in voltmeter on the mobo or as an attachment to the little voltage readout point a really small one thatd be badass instead of having to use a big clunky one and having to unplug and replug it idk lol

[pettystone]

lol the crosshair is on amazon the same price as the sabertooth
