Socket AM3/AM3+ platform
This ATX motherboard uses the AMD 970 chipset and accepts AMD FX, Phenom, Athlon II and Sempron processors. It supports dual-channel DDR3 memory at speeds from 1066 up to 2133 MHz when overclocked, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. The board targets builders who need a reliable foundation for an AM3 or AM3+ system.
Expansion and connectivity bundle
Two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots operate in x16 and x4 mode, joined by two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots. Six SATA III ports provide storage bandwidth while twelve USB 2.0 ports — six on the rear I/O and six via internal headers — handle peripherals. A Realtek 8111E Gigabit LAN controller and ALC887 7.1 channel audio codec complete the onboard feature set.
Build practicality and daily use
The package ships with the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel, letting you start assembly immediately. Standard ATX mounting points fit common cases and the rear-panel cut-out matches the supplied shield. Multiple fan headers and the SB950 southbridge give straightforward cooling and power management for everyday operation.

Questions sur cet article
Will the CMOS battery need replacing and how often?
The board ships with a CMOS battery included; typical coin cells last several years before a replacement is needed.
What limits sustained CPU performance on the 970 chipset?
The 970 chipset paired with AM3/AM3+ socket delivers up to 32 GB DDR3 across four slots, and the VRM design will throttle before the chipset does under heavy all-core loads.
How loud and hot does the Realtek 8111E LAN and ALC887 audio run during all-day use?
Both controllers are low-power integrated blocks; they add negligible heat and produce no audible noise, so system thermals depend almost entirely on the CPU cooler and case airflow.
