Buyer Beware Bios Gamble

ASUS M4A79T Deluxe AM3 DDR3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe AM3 DDR3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: If you enjoy flipping a coin to determine if you'll get one of the boards that actually recognize a 955BE cpu, this is the board for you!

Cons: Just like roughly half the people who have bought this motherboard, mine won't POST or recognize the 955BE chip because it has an ancient BIOS version. The only way to fix is to get a new chip from the manufacturer, who will charge you for the chip and shipping so look forward to the possibility of going through hassle and paying an extra $50 for the privilege.

Overall Review: Newegg support was completely lost on this concept, even after walking the tech guy through the 67 negative feedbacks listed for this item.

Antec 900 users get a different PSU

Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V version 2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V version 2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Pros: If you don't need all your Antec 900 fans to work, this is the PSU for you!

Cons: This power supply unit has 1 too few feeds for the number of fans on the Antec 900 case. Which is funny because Newegg offers them as a "combo" despite the lack of functionality.
