Hi guys, this Motherboard is Rev. C1 or C2? Between this one and Gene version which one is better? Thanks for any help...

Hi, Mine is a C2... I preferred the HERO over the Gene, The cooling, etc. seems better on the bigger board since the Hero is a full ATX format MOBO. I'd only go with the Gene if my case was very small and couldn't accommodate the ATX (ASUS Gene is a MICROATX format). They are both GREAT MOBO's and both are ROG tough. Have had this ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO for 6 months now, - kicks it... - great MOBO. Hope this helps.

F2A88XN-WIFII got the MOBO in Jan 2013 and it would NOT POST with 7850k . So I have No Idea of the In Box BIOS version.But it is a Rev. 3.0 MOBO ! So I sent the MOBO to gigabyte. when it can back it POST'd on first tryand it now has BIOS ver. F3 . staying with F3 .Because of ATI\AMD staggard release of the A88x chip set and then the 7850k at least 6 months later,it is basically unknown what BIOS version is out there in the on the shelf MOBO's .I like the MOBO. realtek HD 892 azillia audio , on board WiFI , and Kaveri GPU .Only a shop based re-seller that has FM2 pre-kaveri CPU on hand could answer your question.

mine shipped with f5. You should be able to get into bios anyway and do the usb update thing. But it should ship with f5. BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THIS MOBO DOESN'T SUPPORT SLI THOUGH. I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER BOARD(gigabyte) IF I KNEW THIS. It is a great board but I wish I realized its is crossfire only as I have a gtx 770 and If i want to get a 1440p monitor which will probably need a second 770 I will be out of luck

I have that process motherboard combination, and it's been great. I had to flash the bios to upgrade it to recognize the processor--tool me about an hour to figure out the process and her it working. The board itself gets a little cramped.. My water block cooling fans block a set of memory slots, do I need to remove the fan to get memory in and out.. In all, I don't have any regretS with the board.. It's been stable and fast.

Revision's will be posted in the name of the product ie: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard (notice the R2.0)! This item is the FIRST Revision of the product!

The board uses SODIMM memory. The description is incorrect. I have one of these boards so you can either trust me, or you can look the board up on the ASUS website to verify: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/C8HM70I#specifications

revision 1 The only difference is needing 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin(rev 1) vs needing 2 8 pin(Rev 2. 2 8 pins should give it more overclock headroom in theory.) either way it's a fantastic card:) Good luck.

I'm very sorry, I'm currently on a break at work, on my phone. I can tell you that on pcpartpicker, you can search that motherboard, add it to a build, and get yourself a list of processors that are compatible with the board, and further, you can see if they support onboard video. You'll do yourself a favor if you build the whole computer there. I've been doing builds for 15 years and that site is a dream.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, no problems whatsoever. Had a lot of runtime errors with an Asus itx motherboard. Would only work with Windows XP. I think it has do with the BIOS being UEFI. After the initial boot sequence, the computer would run for 2-5 minutes and suddenly lock up and display all sorts of runtime errors. Finally gave up and used Windows XP. Otherwise, this is a much better motherboard. Highly recommended.

Just is only reference, but you can use memory with 3000mhz OC the motherboard with the XMP has the memorys, i did bought it and my score for that motherboard is so good, some many peoples talk about problems with it, but is becouse it has an outdated Bios version, if you want buy it i recommend 100%, but the first steps that you must follow is update the bios before the install your O.S

The Bios would need an update, I suggest going for a Z97 board, which you should easily be able to find for a similar price.

bios 1 stock,bios 2 has more head room for overclocking. evga my offer update bios in the future or if you find one that works for your card you have backup bios if something goes wrong.More info on the evga forums.

David, go to Tiger Direct and look up the motherboard in question. That info as you scroll down will tell you clearly what other computer parts will work with it. I selected $2,800 worth of parts to go with that exact motherboard three years ago. Turns out I had everything I needed for someone else to put that computer together. Go slow and read the specificationsfor that motherboard. Danny Standridge

I have the same motherboard that I got from Amazon. I accidentally poured water on the same board i had previously so I got this one because I did not want to change my settings or go thru the hassle of installing a different motherboard with new settings. It works perfectly but in this world nothing is 100% gaurenteed

2 B sure i would recommend U go to Corsair website 2 C if your MB supports Corsair Vengeance-they have a informative site!

Get whatever's validated by Asus to use on the board. If you can afford 2400 and don't mind the marginal performance difference over 1600 (do you really need 2400?), then get 2400. I'm just fine with 1600 until I upgrade my system to a new socket and ddr4.

I've go the A99-Deluxe motherboard, and everything needed to install it was in the ThunderboltEX II Components package. It's been a while since I installed it, so my memory is hazy, but I do remember initially facing the same question, and the documentation was confusing. I think it may not have been a different cable, but an adapter that plugged on the one that was included, but whatever it was was definitely in the package.
