  • i want to know if i can put and evga gtx 570 on this motherboard

  • yo how are you gonna open up this review with the wrong asus chip set...its the 990fx not 890...ugh

  • @SwiftDuck nope it is 890. Get your facts right first.

  • @alasdairhurst oops my bad man i thought it was review for the crosshair V not the IV. I was searching for the V and clicked on this and didnt notice. Sorry meng.

  • @SwiftDuck :D I though that could be the case ;)

  • Asooz?

  • Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, PS2 still rocking up! :P Seeems like a lot of gimmicky features, imo. Who the fuck is going to put a multimeter on their board? Or overclock their PC remotely? Me no unnastan...

  • can you tell me the 3 best am3 middle- high end gaming motherboards???

  • How much watt suplie u will need?

  • @Mrvuurwerk4life licht aan je hardware

  • @CrunchyMuffbag kan deze processor r op? AMD Phenom II X6 1100T

  • @mindharvester yup, zelf heb ik een 1090t op 3.8ghz.

  • @CrunchyMuffbag weet je een site waar de nieuwe bull dozer proccesors verkocht worden met ideal betaaling behalve alternate

  • Hi!... I have this Mobo, it's new, I never see the first image! all components have come yesterday, but I have a problem, when I power on the computer she begins to sounds: 1 long beep more 2 shorts beep... in the manual say this is a DRAM problem, but it's new! Is possible to present problems in VGA? the MoBo note the red light in the DRAM, this is my RAM "Patriot Sector 5 G Series" 8GB (4GB x 2) Help me! (sorry i'm not bilingual, I Try it!)

  • @xgrafitox Press the MemOK! button on the motherboard :)

  • hey i also have another question, i am trying to find a good cpu fan for an amd 1100t black edition phenom II with this motherboard. Anyone have any ideas i really dont have a price range just nothing over 200$

  • @ POPDEATH yea man the Noctua NH-U9B SE2 92mm SSO CPU Cooler is amazing kept my phenom ii x6 1100t BE around 42 Celsius ONLY 59.94$ via Newegg.com

  • Comment removed

  • @Fablemahn oh and was it easy to install the fan?

  • @Fablemahn and is ur processor overclocked?

  • would this be a good motherboard for a gaming desktop, and will this motherboard fit with this case and gpu

    gpu:

    XFX HD-697A-CNFC Radeon HD 6970 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

    case:

    NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT White Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

  • @POPDEATH1223 The case will work... I have it.....Fast as hell...ment for gaming....first computer ive built and im in love....I have a Radeon 6950 that works (x2)

  • And what if I have 2 Nvidia cards and I want to connect via SLI?

  • @IPOCRI Both this board and the sabertooth support SLI

  • @SeigiSama Oh wait lol I thought this was a crosshair V formula review nm :) So ya if you want SLI get the Crosshair V Formula. As far as Overclocking. I have an M3A79-T Deluxe AM2+ and a Crosshair III Formula ROG Am3. Guess what? the m3a79-T Was able to Overclock the FSB to 245, and the Crosshair III would only reach 225 FSB. However the Crosshair III Formual has a PCI-E Sound card rather than the on-board sound (which uses CPU clocks to run).

  • can i use this MB with a corsair 500w PSU?

  • @GustavForsHartwig I don't think a 500w PSU is suited to such a high end board.

  • @iFizer oh okeey.. what do you recomend? maybe a 600w?

  • @GustavForsHartwig yeah it will do just fine.

  • @TheAppleRock thanks!

  • @GustavForsHartwig You can use it iwth any ATX 2.0 PSU. The power draw depends on other components.

  • it is am3+ compatible, I have one with a phenom II x6 1100t running on it. I think it's a very nice mobo.

  • Does this come with the sata power cables needed.

  • @Matty85uk it comes with 6 sata 6gb 3 right angles and 3 front plugin

  • when do you think the 8 core CPU's will be coming out? will this board be able to support it?

  • @OpiumWarz no this board will not support the 8 cores (Zambezi, bulldozer) you'll need AM3+ Board

  • @MyStuff774 you sure?

    I think I've read somewhere a bios update will make it compatible..

  • this board have standard 1gbit lannetwork card?

  • Hi, I will buy 8GB (4GB x 2 Slots) RAM but I don't know the specifications or the compat, I want buy the Dominator Series of Corsair 1600 MHz, you can tell me the recomendations?... These are Compatible?

  • @xgrafitox Yes they are, this board supports 1600Mhz RAM ;D

  • @RozzoFX Hi!... I have this Mobo, it's new, I never see the first image! all components have come yesterday, but I have a problem, when I power on the computer she begins to sounds: 1 long beep more 2 shorts beep... in the manual say this is a DRAM problem, but it's new! Is possible to present problems in VGA? the MoBo note the red light in the DRAM, this is my RAM "Patriot Sector 5 G Series" 8GB (4GB x 2) Help me! (sorry i'm not bilingual, I Try it!)

  • @xgrafitox I don't know. Ask Wizkid. ;p

  • O I wanted this board but I dont want to overclock it (sounds weird I know lol) can I just run it normally?

  • @pancakezombie13 Of course, but you won't be taking full advantage of it. Plus it has a NB heat issue for about half of them. Find a simpler board without a 50/50 chance of having to tweak it. Working on fixing mine..

  • @Monotone55 Well, I usually take more on the sides of expanding other than out-preforming, sooo... to make it work as you want it you have to tweak it then? ok ill try to find another board that has all of the options or more :3 thx for that

  • @lordanstanley This AMD motherboard doesn't support SLi.

  • Hey I just built a computer and it looks like it works but I don't get signal any help please? PM me for more info

  • AMD FTW~!!!! Nvidia Licenses SLI for AMD Platforms haha i was wanting for this along time >:D

  • fucks w the add man!

  • had this motherboard for over 3 months now!

    I highly recommend this board!

    just to answer a few questions below here are some answers

    supports up to 16GB ram @ 1600mhz without overlocking

    will support 3GBps hard drives as 6Bps controller is backwards compatible

  • @smorg12 HELP a presson said amd 1100t doesn't work on this board !! is that true?? cause i just bought this board and amd 1100T online :S

  • @axel007seve

    Hi Axel.. it wirks fine with no problems! and even works with core unlocker which means the processors individual cores are boosted up to 18.5% quicker when required!

    This motherboard and the 1100t is an excellent combernation!

  • @smorg12 thank god :) i almost started cryin when i heard that it didn't work :)

    Yey it comes tomarrow, perfect for my birthday (april 13:th ) :D

  • @axel007seve lol my spec.. AMD 1100t Asus Crosshair IV 16gb corsair vegence ram 128gb crucial c300 1tb samsung spin point XFX HD 6700 TX750w corsair power supply corsair h50 with push pull corsair 600t case
  • @smorg12 i have the same ram :D

  • @smorg12

    hey bro with a spec like that you should look at a high end amd gpu :)

  • @GoldenbanjoDJ ooops typo! that should say 6970 but tbh now I have 2 of them in crossfire.. and a bigger power supply

  • @smorg12

    oh even more awesome lol :D

  • if i got two 3GB/PS harddrive. can i plug those in the 6GB/ps and it works? i will also get an SSD :P

  • Does this motherboard support 1600 Mhz RAM without overclocking?

  • @EWColaCanada yeh

  • @EWColaCanada yepp

  • you never did part 2

  • 0:34 you spelled Athlon wrong "Atlon"

  • why doesn't this guy ever show his FACE!

  • @Treazurer because he isn't reviewing his face...

  • nice video

  • @SpiritofLag Hey, Will ram @ 1.6 volts work on this board ?

  • does it have sata 2?

  • so hot mobo

  • dude, did you review a lg bluray drive on ebuyer? lol

    :P

  • What software is on that DVD?

  • @blowupuate13 just drivers

  • great discribing

  • Isn't there 4 red ones? Or is it just only 3 of them which can have a graphic card? Would like to have 5770 in my system, so wondered if this would be a good investment.

  • WIll I be able to put in 4 5770 cards in this? Seems like it got 4, but on my computerstore shop it says only triple:(

  • @Hokrollo1

    The last two are right next to each other. The 5770 is a dual slot card, so the other half of the card would cover the 4th slot.

    Why 4 5770's? Get you some 6870's or a 5870/6950/6970.

  • @TMNoob3

    Because I already have a 5770, and would be crap just to trow it in the dumbster after 2 month. But with new Sandy Bridges it seems I won't be able to run 3- or 4 -way crossfire unleash I spend 400+ dollars on a motherboard:(

  • I have this motherboard with an AMD 1090T. I haven't installed Windows 7 yet cuz I can't get a video signal. Using XFX HD5770. What worries me is the red light on my motherboad that says CPU. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.

  • i have this with the 6 core 1090T awesome board.

  • When r u going to do part 2 of this video?

  • hey i need help, i want a board which will support 4 high end graphics card so means 4x crossfire x with AMD x6 ! i just need a good board which will have perfect speed for GPUs and also 3D support !

  • yup,you certainly can,ive got the asus m4a79 deluxe and it also runs 4 video cards as well(they have to be single slot coolers on each gpu though or water cooling as well is possible)

  • i dont think you can put 4 GPUs in it !

  • what exactly is mother board??? :S is it the graphic card or processor or what?? D:

  • @misterhoobomaster its the motherboard "mother board"get it,its the mother,all the other components attach to it,including your gpu,ram,hdd's,cpu,fans etc etc

  • Should I get the crosshair iv formula or the crosshair iv extreme along with the x4 970?

  • can i do sli on this motherboard

  • @mmar4281990 nope, just crossfirex

  • hey guys its support 3 way crosshair whit formula iv = ? check the video cards i whant T Video Xfx Ati Radeon Hd5750 1gb Gddr5 128bits Hd-575x-znfc the need 2 pcie ports i can put 3 of it on my mobo ?

  • @korkoisultimate better off to buy one good card rather than 3 mediocre ones,buy a 5850 or 5870 and your going to be much farther ahead

  • Do the khx1600c9d3k2/8g support this motherboard?

  • it all ready has a cpu?

  • @nmirosch1 how dumb can you be

  • Yeah, I know this is sort of a dumb question because I already think I know the answer but just to make sure:

    I have an old computer which I need to upgrade, or well... I'm only keeping the GPU and my harddrive.

    Now...

    Will my Gigabyte 9600GT 512mb graphics card work with this motherboard.

    And will this motherboard run most harddrives? My harddrive is about 2 years old.

  • Comment removed

  • In the specs it says this motherboard supports 1600 (O.C.) does this mean you have to change Bios settings to make DDR3 1600 RAM work? Can you explain how to do this/what this is?

  • are my AMD athlon II X2 250 working with this motherboard?:)

  • @nalakatt0 yes but dont use a cheap CPU on this

  • @iphone3gs78 okej whay? i´m not gana to overklock this cpu, i only wont a good motherboard so i can run crossfire, and i like the red and black team.

  • @nalakatt0 if you run cross fire and dont get a better CPU over clock your 250 there is going to be a bottleneck and the CPU will drag down your videos card

  • @iphone3gs78 okay, so you're saying that if I do not overclock my 250 so will my graphics card slow down in crossfire mode?

  • @nalakatt0 yes go watch NCIX tips on bottlenecks

  • does anyone know if it can support a nvidia video card? i know its a dumb question but i see alot of videos that only have ati radeon cards on an amd board.

  • this motherboard..will support a sli configuration or just a crossfireX..or how will work with a GTX470 is better then a hd 5870?thx..and keep do reviews..nice job

  • do u have an overclocking guide using an asus motherboard? if u do could u give a link pls. ty

  • This motherboard and 8GB 1600Mhz is comming to me soon. But im gonna sell my other parts first. Then i Can buy the AMD Phenom II x6 1090T Black Edition <33

  • without a video card still works? i didnt see any hdmi or video out... :S

  • lol when he said connect 3 or 4 video cards i jizzed O.o

  • Just wondering what memory would you suggest with this motherboard and is an AMD Athlon II X3 ok to use on it?

  • Would this board support a Zotac Nvidia Geforce GTX 480 AMP Edition?

  • can somebody please tell me. is the sata cables included similar or are there as asus say 2 sata600 and 4 sata 300??

  • is this motherboard very big if it is could u please recommend me a case and i want to do sli on one monitor 2xNVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB 16X PCI Express will this be ok?

  • @ieNzYm You can not run SLI on an AMD chipset. It ill support crossfire only as far as I know. If you want to run SLI, I suggest you get an nForce board, they should be fine for it. Otherwise get ATI cards and run CFX.

  • ROG = Republic Of Gamers... not gaming

  • I love it! But does this one have that lucid hydra chip or will i have to buy the extreme version? I asked cuz i want to sli 2 gtx 460...

  • @NOXXism Furmula does not run the lucid hudra, and im glad, look at some tests of the MSI hydra board, it is truly awful.

  • @Xyllianos i was looking to another am3 sli board. I love my crosshair ii formula but i wanted to upgrade so this one can go to my brother's rig... Now i don't know which board to get...

  • @NOXXism if ur running sli intel is the only way to go, the hydra chips are awful and so are the old nForce chipsets, radeon 6000 series is just around the corner tho and maybe you wont need sli anyways. wait a moth and see.

  • @Xyllianos The new ASUS Crosshair IV Formula allows both SLI and Crossfire TOGETHER.

    And for you're info, my Gigabyte board is "only crossfire" capable, but i have a NVIDIA 8800 GT as a physx card and running 5770 cross fire fine no issues.

  • @hosrom no, the formula remains the same, the extreme tho runs the hudra chip wich isnt sli or crossfire, its their ow thing, and running a physx card with a ati card is not running any kind of crossfire or sli, now stfu son.

  • @Xyllianos Excuse me sir, but do NOT tell me to STFU and i am not you're "son".

    I made a mistake with the models, i was referring to the extreme edition which has the lucid chip.

    Ok?

  • @hosrom seems i just did, son

  • Peace of Shit. Ohbama is the all time gamer fame of it all the republic he stands, Levie jeans are better than Jordache so if both not the republic use wallmart and get a nicer mainboard at TigerDirect and say no new Taxes. Peace Broth.

  • 13 people don't like it ? Ok... go buy expansive Intel processors and get only 4 cores, and us, with AMD we'll be glad to buy the next Bulldozer CPU which will certainly be sold for less than 250€, something like 8 cores, and you'll buy your Intel CPU 8 cores for 600€...

  • it says 2000mhz oc for the specs. So would this memory work on this motherboard without oc?

    PC16000 DDR3 Memory - 2000MHz

  • will a triple channel memory work for this board?

  • Even though this is an 890FX chipset, im low on cash, so i was wondering will it support an Nvidia 9600GT? My current system is Nvidia, if i buy this motherboard i will have to buy new ram and GPU, but i cant afford a new GPU...

  • @Generalvaldez

    well it's only going to support one nvidia GPU but i recommend to use an ATI GPU

  • @speedster623 all i ahve is one. and i am going to buy an ATI i just dont have the money yet.

  • @speedster623 If only all AMD boards catered for both crossfire and SLI.......Thats why I'm foced to go intel now.......

  • Hey ppl i was looking on asus page and noticed that on the most of the ram types it says (OC) DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600(O.C­.)/1333/1066 and was wondering why ? does it mean that i would have to overlock the board before i can use pc3-1600 or what D: ?

  • Can i use the motherboard as a skateboard?

  • does this card support SLI?

  • @metalmanga no its only crossfire quad ATI cards only :/ u cant do dual/triple/quad Nvidia

  • @metalmanga

    if you want to SLI with AMD CPUs then look for the nForce boards. theyre pretty rare though.

  • I ordered this board because my other one fried, ASUS M3A32 MVP DELUXE, was having problems took it to a local tech he put the battery in upside down, couldn't get it to work right

  • i cant wait for motherboard i m get in 4 days !

  • can i stick 2 nvidia gtx 480's in there for my groahics cards?

  • @DevilGene66 I think it does not support sli

  • @compad hm....ok :(

    i might have to wait for the crosshair iv extreme for sli compatibility. does anyone know when this is going to be released in the UK, or released at all?

  • @DevilGene66 There is no official release date and of course no pricing information yet. but u can sell away both gtx 480 and buy 2 5870. here in finland if u pick up 2 cheapest 5870 instead of 2 cheapest 480 u save arround 160 euros

  • @compad id rather keep both gtx 480's. they perform better than the 5870 in most games. and i can run it with nvidia 3d vision.

    i will wait for the crosshair iv extreme motherboard to be released and then use a gtx 480 with a 5870.

  • were is part 2?

  • @PCWizKid I a little new to trying to build a pc so i going to ask this knowing i may sound stupid but anyway you said this motherboard could run up to four graphics cards does that mean that four 5870 graphics cards would fit on this motherboard and that they would actually run properly?

  • You Stupid lol,you recording Video then Recorn and Change you Voice,(in video you Snow not what you Talking About) FUCk you !

  • @no1Reality your stupid, write english right or dont!

  • does the x6 1055 work with 790FX Chipset ?

  • How do I use an SSd in achi mode, two 500gb storage drives in raid 0, and one blue ray drive with this motherboard?

  • X6 cores is overkill for most but i actually wouldn't mind being able to render my 3d scenes in a few seconds

  • @Theicemonkeyjr hahaha i agree! i'm building a PC son and was ike hmm quad or hex, aw fuck it i'll go witha hex i don't wanna need an upgrade in a year xD

  • @coryrbk mines doing fine for now but i deffo need a new X4 core, but for £30 extra i can get the hex so im thinking why not. plus id kinda need it as i deal with millions of polygon and particles on screen.

  • @Theicemonkeyjr haha indeed

  • where is part 2

  • Does this board support sli and crossfire? i am looking for a motherboard that supports SLI and Crossfire. For AMD processor.

  • does this support x6 with out bios update

  • Cons: Northbridge (NB) temperature went to over 90C=The heat sink assembly was not even in contact =We apologize for the issues you are having with this motherboard. If you still have the motherboard and would like assistance with overclocking and debugging the issues, please contact us at OC_Support@asus.com and reference case number NE0565. Please include your complete system configuration and the BIOS revision you are currently using

  • @XGViper2gamer well, I had no problems with mine, nuff said.

  • @PCWizKid hey i just bought this with the 800d and neither came with a POST speaker, was it supposed to come with this mobo?

  • @PCWizKid my cheap 50$ can't acces bios, when i try F10/del/enter/etc. .. ..

    i come to a menu , to choose a OS - operating system.

    it was my first time build, so i just selected bootdevice immidiatly, and boom.

    could i have choosed how many secs. to get into bios, in bios??

    please helpgus , i know you can! :)

  • @XGViper2gamer Try to even the length of the heat sink screws. I've seen it on another video about this board made by WestCoastMods. It's kinda late, but hope it works.

  • @XGViper2gamer I just bought this on Amazon.com will i have any issues you stated?

  • @saik0pod Not sure? Pproduction, many do, some don't. They say the heatsink issue is not big deal. For the price you paid for it let me know if you really satisfied with things you like, things you don't and if that price was worth. This is a Brand Name, proclaimed republic of gamers. Do they include you and is your efforts said to be of importance or a member of there repbulic. In general, republic includes all public. Do they support your ideas? Any industry can be.

  • @XGViper2gamer You have to fix this board yourself. RMAing this board might only get you another one with the same problem. 6 out of 10 of these boards have this problem. I took off the heatsink, grounded down the standoffs on the NB to the same height as those on the SB, took of the old thermal wax, put on some OCZ freeze, then put back on the heatsink, now everything is good. SB is 42c, NB is 48c, it doesn't get any better than that unless you have side fans on your case and A/C

  • @XGViper2gamer You should also put some electrical tape on the components surrounding the chip on the NB and SB. That fix worked for me

  • Will this board support the ASUS ROG Matrix 5870?

  • @LittleLegion it should, seeing as its a ASUS board with the same ROG Technology..

  • is this a good motherboard? im thinking maybe a gigabyte 890FX-UD5 because of its cheaper price and dualbios and solid capacitors, is this one durable as well an what happens if one of the bios fails? thanks.
