Is AM3 dead?

[Xz CJ zX]

I haven't seen any new boards coming out for AM3 for awhile. I have a Cross hair V but Id like to get a black/blue board to fit my theme and I just haven't seen any new ones with positive reviews? I really like the Gigabyte 990FXA UD5 but I've heard a lot of bad things about it.

You mean AM3+ right ?

Asus released some V2.0 revisions as far as chipsets go there won't be anything else then 9XX chipsets..

yea, I mean AM3+, I like MSI as a brand (nothing better than military standard) I just hate those blocky heatsinks XD

Looks like you have a little life left. New 8-cores are AM3+.
