Hi!
I like the motherboard "MSI 890FXA-GD70" but, I would like to upgrade my MOBOs to support new FX AMD series...
But, which new MOBO (with support for FX CPU (APU now?)) have the SAME PCI-e slot layout than 890FXA-GD70 ?
Cheers! Thiago

You don't need to upgrade you'r MOBOs. MSI 890FXA-GD70 already support FX CPU with AM3+ socket. You just need to update BIOS to 1.9 or higher. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/890FXA-GD70.html#/?div=BIOS

No, it does not work. It is a beta support (or something like that). I don't want it, simple because I can't use it! :-/ I try it with FX6100 and it does not work... Even if it say so, it doesn't. Also, take a look here (my post): http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/314264-30-890fxa-gd70-bios-update-blinkingI would like to upgrade the combo MOBO+CPU only... Thanks! Thiago

Some say dont use tools and flash under windows, but i never had any probs with that procedure. I always do Bios-Ups under windows, never ever had any trouble with it. One time i do a Bios Up under Dos procedure with a Asus Board and nVidia Chipset, reboot and dead. -_-
But i wont buy a FX, ( i bought a FX6200, laying here for a week and send back ), for mining, gaming there is no improvment to a Phenom. Maybe i try a Piledriver if he can run on 890 Chipset.

It is becoming hard to find Phenom X6 / Athlon X4 in Brazil... :-/
One more thing to import... Damn!
Also, I don't use Windows... I use only Linux and the BIOS upgrade was done with a 2G FLASH-DRIVE (vfat formated) using BIOS MZ-Flash utility...
Thanks anyway!

These boards lack the extra power connect on the motherboard that the 990FX series offers...... Have seen some funky things with overclocked FX chips on 890FX chipsets

You can use the board.. I have a few of them.... Don't overclock much.... It's a decent CPU for the price.... I would wait for the Pyledriver cpu's to be released.. They will fit in this board....

It might be an AM3+, but AMD said you need a 9xx series board to use a Bulldozer CPU. I use the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5, and it's great! It does support Bulldozer, as well.

It does... I have (3) of those boards with FX-8100's in them, working fine.. Upgrade to the latest bios, and off you run.

If you are using more than 3 cards I would be really intrigued to know how you make it work! See this post:- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37880.60

See this post:- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37880.60I only ever used 3 cards, plugged directly into the MB, like you had. Sorry. Only thing I can tell you is these Gigabyte boards respond positively to disabling unneeded stuff in the BIOS. Try disabling the 2nd sata controller, audio chip, the USB3.0 controller, USB2.0 (if you can), LAN (if you can), limiting it to 1 core, etc. Some people have had good luck with doing that.
