Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P 790FX AM3 Motherboard Review

[news 28]

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.

Quote: "The appearance of the board is quite pleasing, and the layout again

cause very few issues with me. 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."

 

Thanks for a post!
