Introduction The 990FXA-UD3 motherboard is designed to offer a stable, high-speed platform for delivering amazingly fast data transfer via the GIGABYTE 333 onboard acceleration technologies. Featuring the USB3.0 controller, AMD 900 series motherboards allow users to take advantage of super fast USB (Universal Serial Bus) transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, delivering 10x faster data transfer compared to USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0. Utilizing the industry's first Serial ATA Revision 3.0 solution via AMD SB950 chipset, GIGABYTE AMD 900 series motherboards offer native 6 ports of next generation high speed data storage devices support with data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10. The AMD 900 series motherboards introduce a unique hardware design with lower resistance fuses for ensuring lower voltage drops & providing more stable & plentiful power delivery. All USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports also benefit from a 3x power boost for better power delivery to power hungry USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices. Get Ready for New Generation of 32nm AMD AM3+ CPU GIGABYTE's AMD motherboards are ready to support new generation of 32nm AMD AM3+ multi-core processors, delivering the very best platform for multitasking, multimedia & high performance gaming. 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 Phenom™II series processors, delivering the great performance enchantment to system & ultimate scalability hardware expending. SATA 6 Gbps Support Yet another onboard feature of GIGABYTE AMD 900 series motherboards are integrated the latest AMD SB950 chip for high-speed SATA Revision 3.0 compatibility, delivering 6 ports native superfast 6 Gbps link speeds for twice the data transfer rates of SATA Revision 2.0 (3 Gbps) & RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support. When used in RAID 0 (Stripe) mode, GIGABYTE AMD 900 series motherboards offer even faster data transfer rates of up to 4x the speed of current SATA interfaces. USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Support The GIGABYTE motherboards support the latest generation Super Speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 technology made possible through an onboard USB3.0 host controller. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience an almost a 10x improvement over USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0. in addition, backwards compatibility with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 assures users of long term use of their legacy USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 devices. The onboard Super Speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 technology also provides new power management features that include increased maximum bus power & device current draw to better accommodate power-hungry devices. 3x USB (Universal Serial Bus) Power Boost GIGABYTE motherboards feature a 3x USB (Universal Serial Bus) power boost, delivering greater compatibility & extra power for USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices. GIGABYTE′s unique USB (Universal Serial Bus) power design is also able to efficiently regulate output over the full voltage range, which greatly enhances USB (Universal Serial Bus) device compatibility. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure lower voltage drops, & provide more stable & plentiful power delivery. Multi-display support with 2 way SLI™ & 2 way Cross Fire X Flexible graphics capabilities
- Up to 2 VGA cards are supported for either 2 way Cross Fire X™ or 2 way SLI™ action (running at two x 16 bandwidth), delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution. AMD Over Drive Support The AMD Over Drive™ utility is provided by AMD, offering high-end users the ability to maximize the capability, flexibility, & adjustability of the platforms utilizing AMD processors, sockets, & chipsets. Dual Channel DDR3 2000+ MHz Delivering native support for DDR3 memory up to 2000 M Hz, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 series 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 & 3D games with ease. 108d B Signal-to-Noise ratio playback GIGABYTE strongly believes that in 2011, HD audio playback is a standard
Specification, & as such, we have made Blu-ray audio playback a standard for all of our motherboards. All of GIGABYTE's 2011 motherboards feature higher capability audio solution with 108d B Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) playback quality to deliver high-performance, multi-channel HD audio. SNR is a comparison of the amount of signal to the amount of noise such as hiss present in the signal (expressed in Decibels). A higher SNR equals a better audio experience. For example, 108d B, is a high audio
Specification, as this means the audio signal is 108d B higher than the level of the noise. Dual BIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology) Hybrid EFI Technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE's mature BIOS platform including stability & compatibility with 3rd party products with 3TB+ HDD support from EFI technology, allowing GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds through a quick & easy BIOS update using GIGABYTE's @BIOS utility that is freely available from the GIGABYTE website. GIGABYTE Dual BIOS™ is a patented technology that automatically recovers BIOS data when the main BIOS has crashed or failed. Featuring 2 physical BIOS ROMs integrated onboard, GIGABYTE Dual BIOS™ allows quick & seamless recovery from BIOS damage or failure due to viruses or improper BIOS updating. In addition, GIGABYTE Dual BIOS™ now supports 3TB+ (terabyte) hard drive booting without the need for partitioning, & enables more data storage on a single hard drive. Turbo XHD- Full Automatic RAID 0/ Stripe GIGABYTE Turbo XHD provides a quick & easy way to boost your hard drive performance. Just via the latest BIOS update, Turbo XHD will automatically enabled when the system detecting 2 new SATA3 HDDs & providing users effortlessly to set up a RAID 0/ Strip configuration.
