GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD5 AM3+ Motherboard Review

Thu 2012-02-09 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Futurelooks have posted a review of the GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD5, an AMD AM3+ motherboard that is based on the 'new' 990FX northbridge and SB950 southbridge.

Here's what they had to say:

"The GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD5 may not be the most cost effective, feature rich, or unique board on the market, but it sets the standard to measure all AMD 990FX boards against. Something we plan to do with offerings from the other players in the coming weeks. If you pony up the $179 US to buy this board for a new build today though, you certainly won’t be disappointed. If you’re coming from a 790FX or 890FX, you’ll get the latest features and the ability to go to the latest CPUs."

This seems like a great motherboard, but until AM3+ Bulldozer/Zambezi processors are released there is very little reason to buy a 990FX motherboard.
