Specifikationer
Bundkortets absolut største force er implementeringen af USB 3.0 og SATA-600. Det er ganske vist ikke indbygget direkte i 790FX chipsettet, men derimod i form af ekstra controllerchips - en Marvell 9128 til SATA-600, og en NEC controllerchip til at styre to USB 3.0 porte på IO-panelet. Ud over det har Gigabyte tilføjet deres 3x USB power, hvilket tilsammen dækker over deres 333 logo der pryder kassen. Bundkortet benytter sig af to BIOS chips, hvilket gør at man har en backup man kan skifte til, hvis noget skulle gå galt med den aktive BIOS.
CPU'en har fået nogle ekstra strømfaser (8 +2 ), hvilket giver en mere stabil strøm ved høj belastning, og gør kortet i stand til at håndtere cpu'er med en TDP på 140W, inklusive de nye Phenom II X6 processorer. Bundkortet er bygget med Gigabytes Ultra Duable 3 teknologi med et ekstra lag kobber i printet, hvilket betyder at bundkortets komponenter har en bedre køling.
Det giver også mulighed for at kunne levere strøm nok til at trække tre grafikkort til et hardcore CrossfireX setup. Så med mulighed for både seks-kernede cpu'er og triple grafik, plus SATA-600 og USB 3.0 går der nok lang tid før nogen vil påstå at GA-790FXTA UD5 er direkte forældet.
