Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7

It has been a while since I played with a top end AMD CPU. Sure I've played with a few AMD CPUs here and there, but they were mainstream CPUs and not AMD top end counter parts. Even then, I was limited to what I could do because they were not my personal CPU. Well, my dad picked himself up an AMD 1055T Thuban six core CPU, and I happened to have one of Gigabyte's flagship motherboard, the 890FXA-UD7. The 890FXA-UD7 has four unique features that I personally like to see on a motherboard. One of these features is the use of SATA 3 (SATA 6 Gb/s), USB 3 and USB Power 3 (Gigabyte's very own "333" design). This motherboard is one of the few motherboards that can fully support AMD/ATI's four-way CrossfireX. You just have to make sure you have a large enough chassis. Because the 890FXA-UD7 is so huge, out of four different chassis I had floating around here, the only chassis that could remotely fit this motherboard was the Raven RV-02 from Silverstone (review can be found HERE). But even then, it was a tight fit. Let's get everything ready for a quick change out from my Intel Core i7 930 setup, to the Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7 AMD six core bad boy CPU.

Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI tackle AMD's 890FX chipset

The 890FXA-UD7 is the most expensive board of the bunch, which is interesting given that Gigabyte has recently been undercutting Asus in a bid to win North American market share. Then again, the UD7 does have a few perks you won't find on the Republic of Gamers board, including fifth and sixth PCI Express x16 slots. This is the first desktop board to pass through our labs with a half-dozen x16 slots, although calling the UD7 a desktop board is a bit of a stretch - literally. Most desktop motherboards adhere to the ATX form factor, which measures 305 mm long and 244 mm wide. The UD7 maintains that 244-mm width, but it has grown to 325 mm wide to accommodate the mass of PCIe slots. As a result, you might have a hard time squeezing the board into smaller mid-tower enclosures. For those who are already measuring their cases for clearance, the extra height is tacked onto the bottom edge of the board rather than the top, if you're thinking vertically for mounting in a tower case. Even with the additional area, the UD7's layout is still crowded. There are no major clearance problems to speak of, though.
