Gigabyte F2A88XM-HD3P, AMD A88X Mainboard - Sockel FM2+ [GA-F2A88XM-HD3P]

It offered motherboards with three different chipsets for Kaveri APUs. In addition to new issues such as the top chipset A88X and the mid-size model A78 (u. A. With CrossFireX support) are well proven A55 and A75 available that for previous APUs formed as FM1 and FM2 versions the base. The FCH (Fusion Controller Hub) - as AMD calls the Southbridges on APU motherboards - A55 continues to be the entry-level version is, when you have indeed waive USB 3.0 and SATA 6G, but you can buy very cheap.

The tips chipset A88X (Bolton-D4), a pure FM2 + -Neuentwicklung, has even more to one and only supports the RAID modes 0, 1 and 10 even RAID 5. In addition, when using is a "Kaveri" -APU and a corresponding VGA the new interface standard PCI Express 3.0 introduces support for, whereby the bandwidth over PCIe 2.0 doubles theoretically!

When F2A88XM-HD3P offered here is a midrange model from Gigabyte, which has access to the high-end A88X as Southbridge. According solid the board in the Micro-ATX form factor is equipped: two DDR3 memory modules natively support a clock frequency of up to 2,133 MHz or 2,400 MHz overclocked and can be used with a total capacity of up to 64GB.

Also, one PCIe 3.0 graphics card, which is addressed with 16 lanes and other components with 4 lanes, one PCIe x1 and a conventional PCI port perform their service via a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot. Furthermore there are numerous internal interfaces: 8x SATA 6G ports, a header for USB 3.0 and two headers for USB 2.0 and two 4-pin PWM fan connectors (max 2 ports.) (Max 4 ports.) ,

A little highlight on Gigabyte F2A88XM-HD3P also be noted that there are on the I / O shield on the back of the motherboard two brand new USB 3.1 ports with type A female, provided by an additional chip from ASMedia. USB 3.1 is commonly associated with the maximum attainable speed of 10 Gbit / s per port twice as fast as USB 3.0.

On the motherboard back can be via the I connect / O Shield other equipment and components via USB 3.0 and 2.0, Gigabit LAN, universal PS / 2 or three audio jacks for 7.1 sound with the Gigabyte F2A88XM-HD3P. Also available for picture playback via integrated APU graphics unit three widespread Monitor outputs ready: HDMI, VGA and dual-link DVI. There are dual and triple monitor setups (Eyefinity) as well as 2-way CrossFire and resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD support - the latter without a dedicated graphics card!
