Gigabyte launches the GA-890GPA-UD3H AM3 motherboard with SATA3 and USB3 support.




The GA-890GPA-UD3H is a mainboard that comes with the '333' logo for SATA3, USB3 and 3x the power supply for USB devices.




There is CPU Support for 140w TDP processors, which means the upcoming six core Phenom II X6 CPUs will be supported.

The 890GPA-UD3H is equipped with a 4+1 phase Voltage Regulator Module, overclocking will probably be a bit less than the 'high-end' AM3 boards like the GA-MA790FXT-UD5P that has an 8+2 phase (Split Power Plane) VRM.




The South Bridge SB850 has a native SATA3 storage interface with superfast 6Gbps link speed (SATA3) and has six! connectors.

The USB3 has no native support, but is done by the NEC D720200F1 chip and you'll find the 2 connectors on the back panel.


The 890GX with Integrated ATI Radeon HD 4290 graphics (DirectX10.1) has not been tested yet, but probably it will not differ that much from the HD 3300 (790G chipset) that is also clocked @700MHz, the HD4200 (785G chipset) was clocked @500MHz. According to Gigabyte you will be able to easy overclock the HD4290 up to 1150MHz for a 3DMark06 score of 3300 3Dmarks or above, we are a bit sceptical about this though.

There is even a 'legacy' floppy disk drive connector.
