AMD® A-series accelerated processors with AMD® Radeon™ HD 7000 series graphics

This motherboard supports AMD® A- series accelerated processor with AMD® Radeon™ HD 7000 series graphics. 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.

Dual-Channel DDR3 1866/1600/1333/1066MHz support

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 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.

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.

Native SATA 6.0 Gb/s support

With AMD® A85X FCH natively support for the next-generation Serial ATA (SATA) storage interface, this motherboard delivers up to 6.0 Gb/s data transfer rates. It also provides enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems.

Gigabit LAN solution

The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efficient power management for advanced operating systems.
