I would say its Top 3 board for FX overclocking
Two thumbs up for the sabertooth R2
Great board for the FX just make sure it's not Gen. 3
What's wrong with the gen 3 ? I was kinda bummed I was unable to find one.
YupWas extreme9 the 12+2 phase board ? Pretty sure those phases are doubled.
Agreed that why I said if he couldn't find a R2.0 go with the 9. As for what mine can do. http://hwbot.org/submission/2441679_optytrooper_wprime___32m_fx_6300_7sec_676msIf you get to see an EXT9 without the heatsink over the Mosfets you will see each phase has two mosfets in what is called stacked mode. I think the 990FX Fatal1ty had paralleled mosfets. There is a only a slight difference. The 990FX Fatal1ty that I have is a very good mobo and pushed my FX-8350 to identical speeds as my very good CHV was able to do.
All of that said, I am not sure I would go for the EXT 9 over the Saberkitty R2.0 if they are less than $15.00 Usd apart. Just too many have had success without undue drama with the Saberkitty's. Maybe I should make what I said more clear...the EXT9 is n0t better than the Sabertooth 990FX R2.0. Equal maybe for sure, but no better.
