Boasting the new AMD AM3 socket, the Gigabyte GA-890XA-UD3 allows you to elevate your rig beyond the standard limits with support for the current 45nm AMD Phenom II, Athlon II and Sempron 100 processors and the new-generation AMD Phenom II X6 processors. The board is able to reach memory speeds up to 1866MHz for blazing fast memory access for today’s latest applications and games. It features the highest quality 8+2 CPU VRM power phase design to handle the power-demanding CPUs with ease.
This board features Gigabyte’s revolutionary Ultra Durable 3 design, which uses 2 ounces of copper for both the Power and Ground layers of the PCB to dramatically lower system temperature and enhance stability for overclocking. With the innovative Easy Energy Saver technology, the GA-890XA-UD3 is able to provide user-friendly computing and reach maximum system performance easily while still saving power and the environment.
System durability and security are as important as ever. Gigabyte's DualBIOS system has a second BIOS chip on the motherboard for quick and painless recovery from crashes and viruses. Count on Gigabyte's experience and innovation!
