Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 review

This high-end Gigabyte 990FX motherboard actually represents something quite new from the Taiwanese manufacturer; namely a high-price, high-performance AMD motherboard. Gigabyte has obviously long-supported the AMD side of the PC world, but until now hadn't released a serious top-end product in that market.The GA-990FXA-UD7 is most definitely a serious board. Like the Asus Sabertooth 990FX, this board supports SLI as well as the standard CrossFire setups. In this UD7 trim we're talking about full four-way SLI support too.The Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 retains the SATA 6Gbps support from 8 series boards, and Gigabyte has made full use of this by including 8 SATA 3 ports. Rival motherboard the Asus Sabertooth 990FX isn't really leaving anyone wanting by including just six SATA 3 and two SATA 2 ports, but it's worth bearing in mind when figuring out why the Gigabyte board is pricier.Sadly, there's no native USB 3.0 support as many were hoping. It's still handled by an onboard controller limiting the number of ports. It has just four USB 3.0 ports and 14 USB 2.0 ports. Gigabyte's board looks great too, which is a pleasant surprise after its gimmicky Assassin enthusiast range.

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD7: Bulldozer Ready!

The launch of the AMD \"Scorpius” platform for the performance desktop PC featuring the upcoming Bulldozer processor is finally in motion at Computex 2011 with the releasing of the AMD 9 series chipset. While we have to wait a little longer until we can get our hands on the Bulldozer, the launching of the 9 series chipset from various motherboard manufacturers means that the processor should be coming very soon. AMD has a tradition of offering backward compatibility. So, despite the fact that the board is here before the processor, there is no need to worry that you are going to be spending money and have the board sitting in the cardboard box while waiting for the CPU to arrive. The new 9 series chipset will be Socket AM3+ and will support the upcoming Bulldozer processor, as well as current AM3 processors, so any Ahtlon II or Phenom II will fit into the board without any issue. Socket-wise, the AM3+ looks almost identical to the AM3. However, if you pay close attention and you will see that the new socket has 942 pins, one more than the AM3. In order to offer backward compatibility, AM3+ continues to place the pins on the CPU as opposed to Intel's LGA socket where pins are located on the socket.
