Questions for 990FXA-GD80 owners.

Just got a version 2.2. I am not looking to replace my Sabertooth R2 but am thinking of replacing my UD3 R4. Can I get any input on why or why I shouldn't. Also it has Bios version 13.5. Should I upgrade to 13.6? I am going to dual boot Windows 7 and Mint Linx. Thanks.

MSI for FX? Good way to start a fire.

The GD80 is a whole different animal than the GD43.

It ain't that much different.
Keep the Gig board.
MSI and FX is a bad mix.
You know I'd give you an unbiased opinion.

We had 1 person come through with the GD80 not long ago ......his issues with overclocking were numerous. Stick with the UD3 Rev4.

I guess getting it almost free was a good thing lol! Thanks, Mr. Scott, ATMINSIDE and bassnut. I knew it didn't have Load Line Calibration. Kinda weak. I have read a couple guys say they are stout boards. When I get some time I will mess around with it.
