14 DAY TRIAL // Until this week, there was no official support for AMD's 8-core 4.7 GHz FX-9370 and the 5 GHz FX-9590 central processing units.
This has now changed, as both Gigabyte and ASRock have revealed motherboards ready to run them.
The ASRock 990FX Extreme9 motherboard is one example, as long as it runs the BIOS P1.40 version.
Gigabyte has the GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 4.0) and GA-990FXA-UD7 (rev. 3.0) motherboards. Gigabyte actually has an advantage here because its platforms don't need a BIOS upgrade.
There aren't, as far as we know, any other motherboards with support for the chips at this time. Presumably, this will not last for long.
We may even wind up witnessing official announcements to this effect, just like mainboard makers did when Intel's Haswell CPUs demanded a special low-power state.
