This was my first premium level motherboard and to say the least I am impressed. For years I had the mindset that as long as the motherboard worked, the cheapest was the best option. After having the chance to take an in-depth look at the Gigabyte GA-8...

The GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 may not have been the fastest AMD 890FX based board that we have tested, but the performance difference is near negligible. The lower cost of the GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 is anything but negligible! ...
Great motherboard styling, 6 Core AMD Support, Core Unlock Feature, USB Charge Option, Full Bandwidth 3-Way Crossfire, Decent Motherboard Cooling, Backlit Onboard Buttons (pwr/rst/cmos)
8 Pin power difficult to access, No debug LED

The GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD5 motherboard is an interesting board in several respects. CPU Unlock allows the locked CPU cores of an x3 CPU to be unlocked (Note, not all locked CPUs can unlock). The ability to charge my iPhone whether the computer is on or o...
The Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5 will be one of those motherboards that will be mentioned a lot by those looking for a very good AMD AM3 motherboard with all the bells and whistles. We are not just talking about USB 3.0 and SATA 600 being implemented into the m...
