Motherboard of OC'ing 1090T

I don't know about the asus mobos, but according to the reviews the biostar one is a good overclocker along with a better chipset 990fx.

790FXTA-UD5. U can reach 4.2GHz-4.3GHz(Using a decent HSF) stable and u can get it for about 7k coz its outdated(although its more or less same as 990FX)...
none the less u get USB3 to SATAIII and everything else u can imagine....

^^Could you provide some link to buy it online buddy?

But $$lionking$$, won't that board limit future upgrades in terms of cpu compatibility?

saikiasunny - Not at all bro! It seems like you are confusing AMD with Intel..

A future upgrade in CPU technology is... phasing out a current line of CPUs for a faster & efficient one. Ex - Intel went from Nehalem to Sandy Bridge which had higher IPC(faster) & lower power consumption(efficient).

But what happened with AMD was that it went from Thuban to Bulldozer, which had lower IPC(slower) & higher power consumption(inefficient) - This my friend is a future downgrade.
So unless you are an animation professional or you are running multiple Vitual Machines in some sort of test environment you have no reason to change ur CPU anytime soon..

RiGod - Google it dude! If i find anything Ill PM you...

Thanks lionking for correcting me. I know the board is really a nice one but what i am saying is buying a new generation mobo is still better coz all these motherboards overclock nice especially the ta990fxe

saikiasunny - Gigabyte higher end boards are a bit better than any other for OC at the moment... 790FXTA is 8+2 phase - none of the above boards has that...

P.S. u were not supposed to take all of what i posted above seriously dude... and u dont have to thank me for correcting u!!... :O

RiGod, among the boards you've mentioned, the Biostar board is better for overclocking. I've checked several reviews and the BIostar board is very good to reach 4.3 GHz+ with a decent air cooler.

No lionking, you are my senior man. I just had some doubts, you cleared it. Thats why i said thanks. And i was recomending the biostar board coz the board is having really nice overckocking potential.

GIGABYTE GA-790FXTA has almost vanished from the market it seems.

BTW the Biostar has 4+1 phase & the Asus ones have 6+2 and still the former is a better OC'er? So on what factor does this OC'ing potential rely heavily on?

^^BUMP!!!

Vcc, Temp & NB Speed affect clocks for PIIX61090T.

For stability at higher Vcc u need higher phase count on ur board.
For Lower Temps u need a good HSF.
NB Speed - This needs to be tweaked by you to reach higher clocks. Also for stability of this u need higher phase count on mobo.
(In an x+y phase mobo y represents no. of phase dedicated to IMC.)

^^Ohkay, but the GIGABYTE GA-790FXTA is nowhere to be seen on online shops. So the next best option would be? Biostar?

GA-970A-UD3 (rev. 1.0) for ~6.5k..

Thanks for the input buddy. It has 8+2 phase right? And GIGABYTE's build quality too, seems like it'll be enough to OC the 1090T to a beast

Yes its 8+2 phase.
Excellent budget board for overclocking!

Yes, that Gigabyte board is real bang for the bucks and that's the reason I've suggested it in the PC buying guide instead of the Asus M5A970. RiGod I think you have also read that too and should have decided from that only...

I made this post before that buddy, actually for the purpose buying guide itself
