Introduction
The GA-MA790X-UD4P introduces revolutionary GIGABYTE Ultra
Durable 3 technology on latest AMD socket AM2+ platform
with featuring 2 oz copper PCB and further helps to reduce
the system temperature and dramatically enhance the performance.
Based on AMD 790X chipset, the GA-MA790X-UD4P supports new
generation of 45nm AMD Phenom II series processors, integrated
DDR2 memory controller, HyperTransport 3.0 technology
links and dual PCI Express 2.0 graphics interfaces (running
at x8 and x8) for ATI CrossFireX support. With the innovative
GIGABYTE Easy Energy Saver technology, the MA790X-UD4P is
able to provide user friendly computing, reach the maximum
system performance easily while still able to save the power
and environment in real life at the same time.
Supports next generation of 45nm AMD AM3 CPU
This motherboard designs with Split Power Plane, 8+2 phase
VRM to support AMD the latest 45nm AM3 PhenomII series
processors, delivering the great performance enchantment
to system and ultimate scalability hardware expending.
EC AOD-ACC Support
EC AOD-ACC is described as Embedded Controller for AMD OverDrive-
Advanced Clock Calibration, which is the newest feature
comes from AMD SB750 southbridge chip, destined for use
AMD 790X chipset, is set to allow AMD Black Edition CPUs
to be overclocked through AMD OverDrive utility further
than was previously possible.
* Please be noticed that GIGABYTEs product warranty
does not cover damages caused by overclocking.
AMD OverDrive Support
The AMD OverDrive utility is provided by AMD, offering
high-end users the ability to maximize the capability, flexibility,
and adjustability of the platforms utilizing AMD processors,
sockets, and chipsets.
* For download site of AMD OverDrive, please visit
AMD official website for details: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_overdrive.aspx
** The support condition of this utility may vary by models(chipsets).
ATI CrossFireX support
With support for latest ATI CrossFireX technology,
GIGABYTE pushes the envelope once again by delivering highly
optimized performance and flexibility demanded for power
users and extreme gaming enthusiasts. Designed to provide
unmatched multi-GPU support with dual PCI-E connectivity,
the GA-MA790FXT-UD5P allows users to take advantage of the
ultra smooth 3D rendering, blazing-fast frame rates and
enhanced visual quality possible.
Ultra Durable 3
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 design, featuring
2 ounces of copper for both the Power and Ground layers
which dramatically lowers system temperature by delivering
a more efficient spreading of heat from critical areas of
the motherboard such as the CPU power zone throughout the
entire PCB. GIGABYTEs Ultra Durable 3 also lowers
the PCB impedance by 50%, which helps to reduce electrical
waste and further lowers component temperatures. A 2oz Copper
layer design also provides improved signal quality and lower
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), providing better system
stability and allowing for greater margins for overclocking.
Benefits of 2 oz Copper PCB
Cooler than traditional motherboards
Enhanced durability
Improved energy efficiency
Greater margins for overclocking
2X Lower Impedance
Doubling the amount of copper lowers
the PCB impedance by 50%. Impedance is a measure of how
much the circuit impedes the flow of current. The less the
flow of current is impeded, the less amount of energy is
wasted. For GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 motherboards, this
means total PCB electrical waste is reduced by 50%, which
also means less heat is generated. 2 ounces of copper also
provides improved signal quality, providing better system
stability and allowing for greater margins for overclocking.
Dual Channel DDR2 1333+ MHz
Delivering native support for DDR2 memory up to 1333MHz,
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 motherboards allow users to easily
reach higher memory frequencies at lower voltages; achieving
higher memory performance with lower power consumption to
run even the most memory intensive applications such as
high-definition video and 3D games with ease.
* DDR2 1333+ is supported with combination of AM3 processors
and qualified memory modules, please refer "Memory
Support List" for detail memory support information.
