GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY has unveiled an exciting range of motherboards. The new models are the GA-890FXA-UD7, GA-880GMA-UD2H and GA-870A-UD3. They support the AMD Phenom II X6 six-core processors, native SATA 6Gb/s (via the SB850 Chipset) and ATI CrossFireX/Hybrid CrossFireX multi-GPU technologies.
“The GIGABYTE 800 series motherboard line-up is one of the most exciting launches we have had in a while due to the sheer number of unique new features, from both AMD and GIGABYTE, that make their debut on these products,” commented Tim Handley, Deputy Director of Motherboard Marketing, GIGABYTE Technology Co. Ltd. “Perhaps, the most interesting of these is On/Off Charge, the first of many unique features derived from GIGABYTE 3x USB Power technology. On/Off Charge USB ports will make their way onto a majority of GIGABYTE motherboard models in the coming months as a standard feature that iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users can look for when they upgrade their PCs.”
The new additions boast unique GIGABYTE technologies such as Auto Unlock that enables hidden CPU cores, On/Off Charge for enhanced iPhone/ iPad/iPod Touch charging, USB 3.0 and 3x USB power.
The GA-890FXA-UD7 is designed to appeal extreme overclockers, gamers and tech enthusiasts. It features the AMD 890FX + SB850 chipset combination with support for 4-way ATI CrossFireX on an XL-ATX form factor and the highest quality 8+2 CPU VRM power phase design that handles 140W CPU power requirements with ease. In addition, it comes with the unique Hybrid Silent Pipe that allows system cooling without generating fan noise. Other features include GIGABYTE 333 Onboard Acceleration technologies, onboard debug LEDs, and support for DDR3 1866.
The GA-880GMA-UD2H motherboard features ATI Radeon HD 4250 integrated graphics. It can also accommodate discrete VGA cards with ATI Hybrid CrossFireX for enthusiasts who want to play demanding games on their media centres.
