According to a recent press release, Asus have now announced that they have made their first AMD 790FX/SB750 motherboard. This new board now enables the user to work with 140W processors and overclock their processors a little more.

Feature-wise, you’re looking at four x16 PCIe 2.0 slots, although we’re not sure how Asus has distributed the bandwidth between the slots, as the chipset doesn’t support more than a dual x8 configuration, although if Asus was to throttle back the speed, it would be possible to do a four x8 PCIe 1.1 configuration. It also has two PCI slots.

Other features include a PS/2 port for the keyboard, six USB 2.0 ports, eSATA, FireWire, 7.1-channel sound with optical and coaxial S/PDIF out and Gigabit Ethernet. There’s also six SATA ports, three headers for an additional six USB ports and a header for an additional FireWire port.

The chipset is cooled by a fancy heatpipe cooling system, although the largest part of it seems to reside on the power regulation area and normally the cooling here isn’t as large as what Asus has put on this board.
