news 28 Posted June 24, 2009 We've had the opportunity to review two motherboards featuring AMD's 790GX chipset in both AM2+ and AM3 flavors. But, we haven't had the chance to evaluate a board with AMD's top 7-series chipset called the 790FX. So, when Gigabyte shipped us a GA-MA790FXT-UD5P for review, we were extremely curious and excited to see how this board would fare against others we've tested that utilize the 790GX chipset.

The cooling system on the chips was also quite functional, and again was quite attractive in design. The Ultra Durable 3 features also seem to add a lot of value and security, and I believe that they actually add real engineering value to the product. It is simple physics that the thicker the copper, the less the resistance. Less resistance means lower heat produced and less energy expended as waste. Add into the equation that the board is less expensive than the slightly more limited Asus 790FX AM3 board, and users certainly have an attractive option at the high end for AM3 parts."
