whats the best mobo with the crossfire chipset? I was going to pick the DFI RDX but CCUABIDExORxDIE says it can kill cpus
 
That is a great board, besides poor southbridge performance usb2, etc. (see reviews); dosent kill cpus like the expert was thought to, but may have been bug in early BIOS that would set vcore too high at boot somtimes.

All is well now, but I'd wait for the new chipsets and see what DFI rolls out with. Personally, I think if the mobos not perfect (in terms of keeping up with compition), then I wont buy it. I dont want a board that can kickass in FEAR all res turned up, but transfering music to my mp3 is slow.
 
thanks for the info I knew "the expert" might be wrong but I wanted some clarification since its little scary to here that a motherboard could fry your $1000 processor
 
Any board that malfunctions can kill CPU's. I've seen nor heard no proof that the specific board in question does that. If it can, it's likely because it allows voltage options for CPU's that other board makers know better than to allow. Thus, people are killing their CPU's by pushing the board and CPU combo too hard.

I seriously think that anyone wanting Crossfire compatible chipsets should wait a couple weeks.
 
The A8R32-MVP-Deluxe looks promising. Look out for it for the next few weeks, it will be to CrossFire what the A8N32-Deluxe is to SLi.

Wait as in waiting for AM2 or wait as in waiting for a non ASUS board? ;)

Waiting for an actual board with the new RD580 chipset to be released.
 
I dunno, I thought that the A8R32-MVP was a RD580 chipset, just for the current gen and not for AM2
