Just a really simple question, does anybody know of any AM3+ (Bulldozer) Ready (so Black Socket) Micro ATX motherboards as i just cant find any, MSI or ASUS preferably.

Im in the UK so any UK retailer shop links would be very helpful thank you.

without looking at links I know for a fact already that the only mATX AM3+ boards are of older chipsets and not 990's of any sort.

I'm hoping that after the release of Bulldozer whenever that is then you might see more options and possibly a mATX 990 chipset.
it's not likely however, the 990 chipset and even the 970 are made for dual and triple / more gfx cards.
so maybe one or two cramped mATX size might happen for the chosen few (would be mostly gaming only board)
but the bigger ATX is what the new chipset is tailored for..

I would love an AMD 990FX motherboard, as my computers are always micro atx, and get moved alot. asus makes a micro atx with the 880 set, which supports fx, and 4 ram slots. but no 990fx :(

Not sure if you are still looking but the MSI 890GXM-G65 supports AM3+ and I have an 8120 running at 4Ghz on air with that board.

I hope there are some good matx boards too. so far, I hate not being able to use an fx in a small case without shelling out for a useless full atx board (i only have 1 gpu) and a case that is too big and heavy to be moved every few days. when bulldozer releases, they should have at least 1. then again, there is always fusion.....

Read one of the links and it answered what I was going to post. I don't believe they ever made a 900 series MATX form factor.

i dont understand why they couldnt use a 970 chip. it isnt wuper feature rich, seems perfect. just use one pcie x16 and 3 x1, there you go. amd is only making good matx boards for socket fm1 now.

Reply to TheinsanegamerN

I emailed MSI and Asus whom I use a lot of products from and they have said there are no MATX 900 series motherboards, it is a odd thing that.
