I doubt if there is a 300% increase in performance. Everybody knows that AMD has the best price/performance ratio. That's why many people go with AMD over Intel. AMD would not exist if that were not so. Mike is a family man who has to take these things into consideration. There's no need for Intel fan boy trash talk here. If you don't like AMD stay on the Intel CPU forum side.
Just a quick question ,, I have two mother boards to go with
1. Asus M4A89GTG PRO/USD3
2.MSI 790FX-GD70
Which one would this forum most likely go with ? Why?
I've only been following along, since trents is doing such a good job!, but I have been keeping up a little with these boards. ASUS had several boards about a year ago that had issues and it turned out most of the problems were BIOS related. Being a long-time ASUS user I was pretty disappointed when the boards first came out but they admitted to the problems, instead of trying to dodge them, and stepped up to resolve the issues. They dug in and re-wrote the BIOS's, from the ground up in many cases, to make things right. Aside from a production problem with the Crosshair I can't recall any big issues with ASUS boards since they got those BIOS's re-written and out the door.But reading the Asus forum about this board sends tingles up my spine ,,,
i wonder if Asus built this mobo as a first model ? will the Bios updates help smooth this board out ?
these are question's coming from someone that has no clue how to ask a question about the M4A89 .
The idea with assembly outside the case is to make sure the basics (CPU, board, RAM, PSU, and video) all are working correctly. You don't need a DVD or even an HDD, just enter BIOS and that'll be enough. This has two advantages; 1) If there's a hardware problem, especially something like the motherboard, then it's not such a pain to remove, and 2) If it's working outside the case and you get it in the case and something's wrong then it's probably an installation issue and not a hardware issue. Just make sure the board is sitting on a non-conductive surface - preferably cardboard (motherboard box) or wood. I'm a (very) amateur carpenter but even I know to check the fit before you glue and screw - this is the same principle.hey ,
you know addressing the hardware putting it all together is a very simple task , 29 years as a union journeyman carpenter reading building prints following directions is second nature for me , my son is smart, sharp eyes, honor student, honor band first chair trumpet, reads music very well.
what i do not understand is the first steps to starting the pc outside the case , then when do i hook up the dvd to the mother board and all the other steps of installing the video card dvd,,windows 7 dvd , drivers ,, is there a place here i can watch or youtube ?
did i miss something before ?
