Help choosing a 990FX mobo
Hey guys, winter came.. and my unfortunately I think my MSI mobo died with the cold winter, before I had already soo many issues with it and as such I need a replacement.
Looking for a mobo with CF options, for my 2 290! :D
what do you guys suggest? Trying to stay out of MSI for a while ...

As other motherboard manufacturers seem to be dumping the AMD product line, ASRock is still trying to revive AMD with yet another high-end AM3+ board – 990FX Extreme6. By being able to support AMD FX-9590 & 9370 220W CPUs, it manages to stay relevant in our high tech market and keep up the competition with the Intel campaign.. its worth to check it out!

What's your budget and how bothered about oc are you? Do you need support for the higher the chips? (9xxx)

A couple of 990FX boards that start at $100 or so...ASRock 990FX Extreme6 and ASUS M5A99FX PRO

Gigabyte
GA-990FXA-UD3 is a great option.

I was actually looking at the ASRock 990FX Extreme6, on paper seems pretty good and decent price! Any feedback on this one?

Not that exact board but have used a number of other AsRock Extreme and Pro boards and they have become my favorite motherboard manufacturer. I find their boards to be really solid, long lasting and feature-rich. First boards I ever saw with BIOS updates direct over the internet.
They might not get as many BIOS updates as Asus or Gigabyte but that might be for a good reason....and for the most part with the advent of UEFI and UBU (UEFI BIOS Updater), you can update your own mostly.

Although they are not as well-known as Asus or Gigabyte, but I think they're good in terms of reliability.
I found the board on Amazon UK for £112
