GIGABYTE AMD 990FX + SB950 AM3+ SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard GA-990FXA-UD5

I have 4 custom built PCs and 6 PCs total. With that said. I have two AMD Systems, and while I elect to use ASUS for Intel, I have found Gigabyte is my brand for AMD. I bought this Motherboard with the intention of having an easy time getting a sixcore 3.3ghz FX Chip up and running, and I did. The board has loads of features, great slot selection, it has 3 PCIe slots (x16) and works with a Nvidia GeForce GTS 460 I am using (and also another card in another slot, an ATI FirePro 4800) and has a PCIE USB3 (extra 2 port) card in it, running great. Used an 850w Power Supply, which seemed ample and the motherboard has a good standard bios (its not UEFI for you UEFI fans out there) but it is a standard old Award Bios. One thing I noticed is with win7 ultimate there is no sleep mode setting for the PC obvious but you can still set one if you want to (I do not but I notice these things and report them). If this MB is as reliable as my 880FX Gigabyte or numerous other Gigabyte boards in the past have been (I Been using Gigabyte since before they had US website, in other words when gigabyte.com.tw was the only one out there - yeah about 15 years) and they always come true for me with AMD. I have only built two intel based machines in the last 15 years (AMD is usually my preference but I went with two lga 2011 3960Xtreme's as AMD cannot compete with it) as I had the cash. Interesting facts is this scores well on benchmarks (the FX chip) against my 3960X's at 1/4 the price. This motherboard looks like yet another winner by Gigabyte (I have never had a Gigabyte board fail, or be DOA on me. I can't say that for ASUS) in general the computers get older than they are worth to still use before a problem with their boards pops up. I recommend this board to anyone who wants good slot diversity for expansion, good compatibility with diverse video, and wants to run an FX Chip on an AM3+. Very satisfied with the purchase, and Gigabyte as a motherboard make overall.

Great board and it is solid. Just powered it up and running a 1100t BE. Pros: it's simple easy to install great looking board. All black and it is Gigabyte. Comes with los of USB 2.0, 3.0 and eSata ports. It is also Duel bios ready to. If you mess up your bios it will boot in the second bios chip and reload the first bios chip. Nice redundancy that Gigabyte put in. It comes with some cool software to over clock your CPU from your Windows OS. Cons: Was not very happy to just only receive a SLI bride, Triple SLI Bridge, and 4 ATA cables and that's it. I was very disappointed. I didn't even get any screws for this Bored. Lucky my previous XFX board had tons of stuff that it came with. I hate to write all of these cons on a new board that I have not even spent much time on. Also the PCIe 1.0 Slot is crammed in with the Northbridge chipset heat sink. So if you are planning on putting something in there you might want to consider that. FYI. UD3 UD5 and UD7 Gigabyte boards stand for how many SLI slots there are.

I have gotten this product on september 21, 2011. I was soo happy when it came and I wasn't disappointed when best buy installed it for me on the same day. Soo happy... I wish I knew that there is a better product when I brought this motherboard. I didn't know that the Gigabyte UD7 is out then I would have gotten it. However, this product is working fine, and no issues. Bestbuy said everything is working fine and the only thing I need now is a power supply because both power supplies that were brought from circuit city were defective and had to be returned, so my defective product should be recieved by Amazon around october 7-10, 2011 and then I can get my refund so that, I can get me a power supply with a 2 year replacement plan from overstock. Then, I can put my power supply ordeal behind me and will be able to use this motherboard for the first time in my new pc. I purchased an Asus M5 motherboard from circuit city, and bestbuy told me on september 7, 2011 that the motherboard is defective and I needed to replace it, so, I got this motherboard to replace it, because of the reviews that were read about the Asus Motherboards and how they were fuzzy about ram installation, and what type of ram that is purchased, may not be able to work on an Asus Motherboard. I got this motherboard on September 20, 2011 so that bestbuy can install it, and they did, I also had to replace my power supply and it turned out my power supply was defective too, so now I have to wait until about October 11-14, 2011 to use my refund and get my power supply because it takes much longer to get refunds in a credit union than in any other bank. What will take one day inside a Bank of America will take two at a credit union. So that is where I am now, I am waiting for my refund to purchase my power supply to finally get to use my custom pc that has been created from scratch. It has been about a month since I send my parts over to bestbuy to install all my parts inside an empty coolermaster chassis. It is about time for me to use my new highly advanced desktop pc to enjoy better gaming and media performances, and this motherboard has what I need to do so. It is not the best because I didn't know that the UD7 is out but I will not complaint because I just want to use my new computer.

Scheda madre ottima se paragonata anche con il prezzo modello fx990xa-ud5 . Questa Gigabyte lo montato con alimentatore da 800 watt, 16 gb di ram corsair pro, scheda video asus r9-290 da.4 gb gddr5 e processore AMD 8 core fx-8370 e ssd corsair 240 gb + hardisch da 500 gb montato su case thermaltake chaser a71 ed infine collegato su monitor dell 28" con risoluzione 4k.

Recomiendo ampliamente esta tarjeta madre para todos aquellos poseedores de un procesador AMD FX 8000 series, los puertos USB 3.0 son increibles en comparacion a los antiguos 2.0. La BIOS es amigable incluso para todos aquellos que estan entrando a el mundo de las PC, la BIOS detecta tu mouse a primeras, es increible! puedes cambiar el idioma e incluso actualizarla, configurar los ventiladores y temperaturas a tu gusto de una manera extremadamente facil, tiene varios slots de PCI a 16x. Lo unico malo seria su PCI Express, pues solo tiene 1. Ademas de soportar SLI de NVIDIA o CROSSFIRE de AMD.

Je ne veux pas faire une revue technique ici, il y a plein d’info sur le web. Pour l’instant elle tient ses promesses. Je cherchais une carte avec un contrôleur RAID (il y en a 2), sans ventilo sur les puces annexes et la possibilité de monter une 2eme carte graphique en crossfire quand j’en aurai les moyens. Petit bémol pour la config du RAID depuis le bios qui n’est pas intuitive. La dernière version de RaidXpert d’AMD offre une meilleure alternative. Tourne super avec un Athlon fx8350, une R9 390 et 16GB de RAM. Tout est noir dessus et pour les amoureux de la boite vitrée, vous ne serez pas déçu ;-)

Snelle en correcte levering. Voldoet aan alle verwachtingen.

The 990FXA-UD5 motherboard from GIGABYTE is a really nice pick up that is an all round good board.
