GA-MA790X-UD3P x6 support question

[chaotic_uk]

i have the GA-MA790X-UD3P and just installed the latest bios (F7A) , but i have noticed that the highest x6 cpu supported is the Phenom II X6 1055T 95w . why does it only support the 95w version and not the 125w versions that are onsale now (95w versions not out yet ? ) , yet this board supports upto 140w cpu's ?

nobody know this ?

if you look at the specs on the new X6 few the 965 is still more power full & will be untill the next genaration come out end of this year start of next year , the phenom II X6 is more for server based
hope that helps

It looks like X6 support is being tacked on to AMD 7 series chipset boards
8 Series being the native ones.

new architecture can behave differently on chipsets designed before the tech was released, so it probably wont be just down to wattage support.

good luck

well the cpu support page has been updated , it supports the 1090T
