AMD® A-series and AthlonTM Series Processors

This motherboard supports AMD® A- series and AthlonTM Series Processors. This revolutionary APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) combines processing power and advanced DirectX 11 graphics in one small, energy-efficient design to enable accelerated performance and an industry-leading visual experience. It features Dual-channel DDR3 memory support and accelerates data transfer rate up to 5GT/s.

AMD® A85X FCH (Hudson D4) Chipset

AMD® A85X FCH (Hudson D4) is designed to support up to 5GT/s interface speed and AMD CrossFireXTM. It supports 8 x SATA 6.0Gb/s ports and 4 x USB 3.0 ports.

AMD® CrossFireX™ Technology

AMD’s CrossFireX™ boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the need to scale down screen resolution to get high quality images. CrossFireX™ allows higher antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings. Adjust your display configurations, experiment with the advanced 3D settings, and check the effects with a real- time 3D-rendered previews within AMD Catalyst™ Control Center.

Dual-Channel DDR3 2400 (O.C.)/2250 (O.C.)/2200 (O.C.)/2133 (O.C.)/2000 (O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066MHz support

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 2400(O.C.) /2250(O.C.) /2200(O.C.) /2133(O.C.) /2000(O.C.) /1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz to boost the system’s performance, and to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.

Complete USB 3.0 integration

This motherboard offers you the strategic USB 3.0 accessibility for both the front and rear panels, allowing you to experience the convenience of the latest plug and play connectivity solution at speed up to ten times faster than USB 2.0.

8-channel high definition audio

The onboard 8-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio output and jack-detect feature that automatically detects and identifies what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio I/O jacks and notifies users of inappropriate connection, which means there will be no more confusion of Line-in, Line-out, and Mic jacks.
