Anybody know when the MSI 990FXA Gaming motherboard will be coming out and for how much? Really wanting to purchase this board when it finally comes out. Thanks!

 

EDIT: I'm referring to the board that was teased at Computex 2015, red and black board with NVMe support.

Its already out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130677

 

And its also effectively dead since AMD is dropping AM3+ CPU's (because the current ones are really bad for all bar a few tasks).

Ah right, AM3+ socket motherboards are still effectively dead because there will be no more new CPU's for it (the FX 9*** was never new BTW, just overclocked rebadges).

Yeah ik, I agree completely dead and the 9590 was just a factory overclocked 8350

And that was proven by forum members with 5GHz+ 8230 and 8350.

I'm currently using a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 in a Fractal Design Define R4, and cable management is a nightmare since the board is EATX and covers the cable routing cutouts. The UD7 also doesn't match my color scheme, which is red and black. I have a friend who is interested in the UD7 and I can probably break even depending on how much the 990FXA Gaming is. And I would like to get an NVMe SSD in the future, whether it's an Intel 750 or whatever. Seems like the 990FXA Gaming is the perfect board for my build and personal taste. Really hope this board comes out soon.

Strangely, it's already out here in Indonesia. Around last week. I bought one, and currently in process building new PC. The price was $195 USD, so when I bought it I need to converted to our currency. So maybe in US will have similar pricing.

 

I believe it will release soon at your country. The last time I checked, it will release in Germany this June 15th - 16th.

 

I'm not a pro, so I really waiting for other Computer Expert to review the board :P

 

Hope you'll get your board soon ;)

Thanks for the info! From what you've just said, it should be here in the US sooner than I expected.
