A Closer Look:

Notes:

  • Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
  • To support a DDR3 1866 MHz (and above) memory, you must install an AMD AM3+ CPU first.
  • For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot; if you are installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you install them in the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots.
  • The PCIEX8 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16_2 slot. When PCIEX8 is populated with a PCI Express expansion card, the PCIEX16_2 slot will operate at up to x8 mode.
  • Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system cooler you install.
  • Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.

Has a few flaws

Overall it's a pretty great board it's pretty fast supports my hardwae, runs great so far. Unfortunately there are a few flaws with this boards layout. Installing a massive graphics card can be a bit bothersome because of placement of sata ports and onboard heatsinks. PCI Ex 1 is useless unless you plan to remove northbridge heatsink. Came with F10 BIOS, was hoping that this board would be secure boot compatible like it's counterpart the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3

Work of Art

First totally new system I have built in a while. Features on the board are many and well documented. What I liked was the layout and first rate quality components and construction. But hey,it all comes down to how it reacts to the first push on the power switch. For me it was flawless. Just a bit of tweaking in the bios and I was up and running.

Great Mobo

Got this setup with the FX-8320, 16GB DDR3 1600MHz, and XFX Radeon 7850 and the thing is a smoking beast! Absolutely love the black because it goes along with my HAF 922 case! Only issue is the only other PCIe 3.0 X16 slot on the mobo is literally right beneath the 7850, so I can't do Crossfire unless I liquid cool.
