Default Chipset compare 790FX vs 790GX
Hi all,

i know a few facts about comparing theese two chipsets such as integrated GPU and such and that FX is better for OC... But i wonder... How much is the GX worse ? Currently i see a great deal for a DFI LP 790GX board and im not sure if to grab it...

Ill be doing LN2 on that setup for sure... what do you think ?

Personally if you want my opinion I would go with this mobo if you are going the AMD route.

It might cost you a lil more but it is worth it. I stated awhile back to a member here that the FX's are the better mobo over the GX's, I don't think he believed me though.

Interesting... is Gigabyte actually better than DFI ? Ive had a few AMD DFI boards over the years (754/939) and DFI was always good on AMD...

DFI last I saw was not a very good board for AMD. Overheating chipsets and poor performance per clock was the real tradeoffs.

GB is highly recommended, not personally, but lots of top spots at the bot are running them.

This machine is GA_MA790FXT-UD5P.

With 955.

No better board around right now 2 ounce copper ground plane internally.

Use the tuning utility to overclock on the fly,
Not from the BIOS.

You'll regret buying another one.
