Hi Tech Legion give GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD5 a Gold Rating

GA-990FXA-UD5-

George Cella-Cella on Hi Tech Legion has just finished his review of our AMD Bulldozer-ready GIGABYTE 900 series 990FXA-UD5 motherboard, and by all accounts he is mightily impressed, giving it their highest Hi Tech Legion Gold Award.

“There is no disputing that the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 is an absolute top of the line motherboard. The GA-990FXA-UD5 is packed with features, all of which work absolutely flawlessly. Build on the GA-990FXA-UD5 is solid, with great finish and attention to detail. The included Easy Tune 6 utility works extremely well as an overclocking utility for the novice, as well as being a very capable hardware monitor and fan speed controller. With the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5, you get an extremely capable and feature rich motherboard, all wrapped in one very attractive sleek black package. The GA-990FXA-UD5 is highly recommended.” – HiTechLegion

George has also published an unboxing video that covers the packaging and key features of the 990FXA-UD5 board in some detail. Check it out below.

We’re really happy that George has taken the time to explore and benchmark what is surely one of the most complete and full-featured AMD platform motherboards that Gigabyte has ever done. I’m convinced also that most AMD DIYers will, like ourselves, be even more excited at the prospect of putting this board through its paces packing AMD’s forthcoming FX processors. Here’s hoping they really gives us some Bulldozing performance level to shout about.

Tech Report examine AMD’s Llano on GIGABYTE A75M-UD2H

socket-fm1

Here’s a great in depth article on the new A-Series APUs from AMD. Writing for TechReport.com, Scott Wasson compares these new APUs, codenamed Llano, to previous AMD platforms as well as Intel’s Sandy Bridge and Gulftown offerings. It’s an interesting read that examines the pros and cons of AMD’s Fusion architecture which places more emphasis on the graphics element than we’ve seen in the past. From a strictly Gigabyte perspective, we were also quite flattered to see that Tech Report based a lot of their testing and benchmarks on GIGABYTE boards.

For example Intel X58 Gulftown tests were performed on our X58A-UD5 board, AMD 800 series tests used the Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H while for the new AMD A8-3850 Tech Report selected the Gigabyte A75M-UD2H.
