Introduction :
As in the P55 series (Intel), Gigabyte dump their technologies to the AMD 790FX platform stressing support USB 3.0, 3x USB power, SATA 3.0 is one of the most comprehensive in its range. Gigabyte renews its Phenom processor series II high with his model-UD5 790FXTA which includes the "333 Onboard Acceleration", which as discussed in another article, provides support for USB 3.0, 3x USB Power (supports more than three times power per port compared to 2.0) and SATA 3.0 (6 Gb / s). It also has the latest technologies such as Ultra Durable 3 (best quality and durability), 3 Way Graphics, among other things. It mentions the support of the new Microsoft operating system Windows 7. If we get more product information instantly, only the back remains to be seen with appropriate explanations about the technologies implemented (in short) and their specifications in a simple to understand. This time the packaging is not as abundant as before but meets expectations and could find SATA cables, IDE cable (can be useful at some point), drivers and of course manuals (very full by the way).
A priori watching motherboard 30.5cm x 24.4cm noticed its high quality construction elements to increase their income level resulting in much more advanced in the various fields of application. The availability of the connectors is excellent, its design is really attractive (with colors characteristic of Gigabyte) where in the back of the PCB support brackets are located in critical areas (CPU, NB and SB) provide greater security and tranquility to the user, especially if large coolers installed (already is annoying the product).
The available socket AM3 motherboard supports the latest Phenom II (Athlon II also) with the appropriate support system for standard AMD coolers but can be removed if you install another individual (such as GlacialTech Silent UFO V51). We have 8+2 phase of regulation that will use processors from 140 W and techniques being applied settings Overclocking generating quite competitive within the industry. To maintain good operating temperatures to avoid generating heat around the socket and thus to the rest of the cabinet we have an excellent cooling area (very thick) that communicate via a heatpipe, which actually begins from the SB through the NB to end in this segment. To maintain stability, we have the extra power connector 8-pin package.
Here appears the AMD 790FX NB located in the center of the PCB with a heatsink efficient enough to not cause problems in terms of temperatures. However it is expected in the near future the next generation. This area also contains his own highlighting the four DDR3 memory slots (identified as placing heat to form memories Dual-Channel) supporting speeds up, neither more nor less than, 1866 MHz! Overclocking course apply. The total capacity that we install is 16GB. Below are localized IDE and Floppy connectors (yes, they still exist) controlled by the chipset iTE SB and 8720 respectively. We have the quick access buttons (Power and Reset) that glow in the dark while power is applied and of course, as is customary in all motherboards, is the main power connector 24 pins. Note that reintroduces Gigabyte Easy Energy Saver technology leds small figure (EuP Ready) that show how the system manages the phases of regulation. If you activate this mode, the phases decrease energy saving especially when performing daily tasks or low intensity (like internet browsing).
AMD SB 750 presents less drastic cooling due to less heat generation but with the cooler with heatpipe chipset is almost as cold as a drink with two ice cubes. On the other hand, we see the implementation of a dual Bios (known as Dual-Bios) in case the primary BIOS is corrupted, if that happens, the second BIOS will restore the former.
Here you can see the different chipsets that make up the greatness of the product. First, a lesser intensity, is the button Clear_CMOS (cleaning the Bios to its default setting). Second Realteck ALC 889 sound with up to 7.1 channel surround is specially adding the Dolby Digital Live and Dolby Home Theater only for Windows Vista and 7. In position 90 degrees to install graphics cards without problems, we have six SATA 2.0 ports controlled by the SB Celestial supporting SATA RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD. The other two remaining white ports are the now famous SATA. 3.0. One of the novelties introduced 790FXTA-UD5 is the use of third PCIe 2.0 8x slot which offers different connection options highlighting support 3-Way CrossfireX where the first two slots will do so heavenly 16x, 16x ie -16x-8x, to increase performance in games of last generation. Apart from that, it includes a 1x PCIe and three PCI.
