Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7 (AMD 990FX) Review

The Gigabyte 990FXa-UD7 motherboard ships in an attractively designed box with a picture of the dramatically designed heatsink in the center. There is also a list of key specifications along the bottom.

Inside are two half height boxes which contain the peripherals and the motherboard.

The bundle is comprehensive, including a manual, driver and software disc, I/O backplate, SATA cables and several stickers for a case. Additionally, there are a plethora of SLI and Crossfire cables in the box: 3 way SLI bracket, 4 way SLI bracket, single SLI cable and two Crossfire cables. For some reason we received a manual with only chinese text.

I have to say I was surprised that Gigabyte didn't include a few more SATA cables with this product.

  1. Great boards, right up their with ASUS IMHO

  2. Like the colour scheme, very menacing !

    I think ill stick with intel, but im interested in bulldozer, will be interesting to see if they can take on Intel at £200 sector.

  3. Phew, I hate seeing a review when I bought something a few days beforehand. thankfully im reassuring. ill post my findings when I get the system built.

    (1090t, but planning to bulldozer when available)

  4. I disagree with previous comment. I think gigabyte are better motherboards than ASUS. I have always found them more stable.

  5. good motherboard, I plan to buy this when bulldozer is out.
