This board furnished those who were brave sufficient to take a Phenom processor with a balance platform that boasted a number of effective characteristic such as tri-SLI. At the time we said the Crosshair 2 pattern was a good planned CPU board that was let down through a power hungry chipset and sub-par processors.


The actuality was that the Phenom processors present at the time were no cope with for Intel’s Core II series. AMD handled to become things around when they freed the Phenom II XIV with examples clocked at 2.8GHz and 3.0GHz.


Moreover, just with the Phenom II XIV 955 Black Version processor in their arsenal, AMD is eventually beginning to expect similar they mean business. The Phenom II XIV 955 has too assisted to bring in the AMIII platform to market, giving them a true high-function processor.
