Not long ago, I wrote about MSI's Z87-G43, which happens to be the first motherboard certified for Windows 8.1 (Windows 8 Enterprise edition).

Now, the same company has revealed a motherboard ready to run the strongest AMD central processing unit at its best.

And by strongest CPU, I mean the 5 GHz 8-core FX-9590, of course.

The motherboard that just got certified for use with the processor is called MSI 990FXA-GD80 and is equipped with four memory slots, five PCI Express slots (four PCI Expess x16 apparently) and a whole bunch of USB ports at the back, plus Gigabit Ethernet of course.

Military Class components keep the platform stable and provide a long lifespan. Just be sure to go here if you have doubts about how to use the BIOS to fully exploit the powerful chip.
