This is an ub3r high end 990FX board from Gigabyte. SLI, CrossfireX, the works. Also quite expensive!

@Destroysall They always talk to me like this. If I talk to them or meow at them, they will meow back at me.

I'm really thinking about buying this Motherboard for another AMD build I'm going to be starting soon. Dose anyone know if this will fit inside the Corsair 400R? I don't have access to one that I can measure anymore, and I'm just not 100% if this will fit within that recessed part of the case.

@MrMilan90 No more disgusting than kissing a human, my friend. In fact, unlike most humans, at least I know where they've been.

Also unlike people there aren't really any communicable diseases that can be transmitted from cat to human.

I mean, there are parasites like worms that you can catch from cats... However, since I'm responsible for my cats' health care, including de-worming, once again it's a non-issue.

@concretecubes It's a Bengal. Very similar to the Savannah in that it's a "hybrid" breed, but it comes from a different wildcat.

The savannah breed is traced back to the African Serval, while the Bengal is traced back to the ALC (Asian Leopard Cat).

There are other designer "hybrid" breeds, but these are the two most common.

@Dzek88 I hate spiders too. Fortunately Rocket/Rumble kill and eat them for me. I haven't had to deal with a spider since I got them.

Also there are almost NEVER bugs in my house. This includes spiders, flies, bees, etc. The cats kill everything. They are

Can you do a review of the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 for me?

Why am I watching this in 2018? We have Ryzen 2000 already and Am3+ is in the dust...

[bradleysportscards]

Watching this video 10 years later is quite fun 😄 & I am still using this motherboard with an AMD FX-8320 + 1 Asus (Strix) Nvidia GTX 960 4GB. Someone was getting rid of the system and it was in a giant full tower Lian Li case so I took it home and threw everything in a modern Corsair case and I would say it still looks/functions well.

I've got the UD5 version of this board - AWESOME boards! Although the box on mine wasn't as fancy wit a window - I had a white box in a shiny outer sleeve :(

@Caseyds620 This board has Realtek 8111E ethernet ship, it's supported by Windows 7 out of the box.

Well never mind I found out what to do on the microsoft web site. As for the board it is awesome and my rig is healthy. Last left it for work it was running some updates. Those buttons on the board when power is applied are blue lights. Also further questions do something that I have done and that is RTFM.

There was a flap on the top of my box held down by Velcro. So the tiny window was full sized on my box. Your box looks like it has a flap on the top of the box too.
You know what's funny. The Gigabyte looks very similar to the ASUS I have.

i have a question for all of u commenters. im looking for a nice big case for my pc and i was wondering if u guys had any recommendations. i was looking at the azza hurrican 2000

[evilwarcow]

Just bought me one of these from Amazon. I am building a AMD build. I tried looking for a later board but no dice but this thing will be enough to suffice.

@fartmonkey200
Err I should've said PCI-E 2.0 16x (4x Mode).
Any who it's tiny slot for SSD's and other things. I plan to upgrade to SSD so it's uber important.

[apbDWfudDPfMCkalgISv]

are third party chipsets good or bad? is performance better with them? I'm not sure I understand them... Linus always mentions them.

[TheGamersLife]

was really hoping this would have been competition for the ASUS crosshair I was looking at. guess I'm still going with the ASUS.

[evilwarcow]

And one more thing if your boot code read out reads FF you are in good shape as that is very healthy.
