I'm running two ASUS boards, a SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 and a M5A99FX Pro 
R2.0, both with AMD FX-8120 8-core CPUs and Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM 
(16GB on the SABERTOOTH and 32GB on the ASUS). I previously had a MSI 
board running with a 6-core AMD CPU on it but it was upgraded to the 
M5A99FX when I threw on the 8-core CPU and upgraded from 16GB to 32GB 
RAM.
