Nice, dont get me wrong i cant afford the £700 for the CPU just good to see things moving in the right direction.

If hammering the system with stress testing/benchmnarks I would consider the C5F only. 8 pin EPS is not enough for 8 core AMD CPUs approaching 5.GHz.

No C5F-Z? Or just in general mobos which has both 8-pin and 4-pin power connectors?

Wheres the Support for the original Crosshair V? It seems the support for future processors even though they are Socket AM3+ is now over? Even the Crosshair II got continued support for longer. 19 Bios updates it has Vs 12 for the Crosshair V?

Come on Guys, what's going on? :mad::confused:

There hasn't been a need for a BIOS update, if there was, one would have been released...though, I imagine a new BIOS will be available will be released sometime in the future to support SteamRoller CPU's

So then your saying the Crosshair V already supports those new CPUs and If I got one I could drop it on in and the Bios would recognize it and it would work?

That's exactly what i'm saying mate, provided you have the last BIOS revision flashed to your BIOS. Here's a little secret for ya...the 9590 is just a higher clocked 8350
