ASUS M4A78-AM AMD 780G Micro ATX

This ASUS M4A78-AM motherboard uses the AMD 780G chipset in a Micro ATX form factor. It fits Socket AM2, AM2+ and AM3 processors for AMD platform builds. The board provides integrated graphics through the 780G northbridge. It targets system integrators and upgraders working with legacy AMD components.

DDR2 Memory and SATA Storage

The board supports DDR2 memory up to 8 GB maximum capacity across its DIMM slots. SATA connectors handle hard drives and solid-state drives for primary storage. Builders maintaining or repairing older AMD systems will find the socket and chipset combination familiar. Systems requiring newer DDR generations or different socket types must use alternative hardware.

Socket AM2/AM2+/AM3 Compatibility

The CPU socket accepts AM2, AM2+ and AM3 processors, which is the decisive specification for processor selection. This multi-generation socket support allows flexibility when choosing a compatible AMD CPU. Buyers must match their processor to one of these three socket types for the board to function. No other socket types are supported by this motherboard.

Questions about this item

What Micro ATX case and back-panel cut-out does this board need?

The board uses the Micro ATX form factor and ships with a chassis I/O back panel that matches its port layout.

Which CPU socket lever sequence avoids bent pins on the AM2/AM2+/AM3 socket?

Lift the lever fully, align the gold triangle on the processor with the socket corner, place the chip without force, then lower and lock the lever.

When should the included CMOS battery be swapped out?

Replace the battery when the system loses date and time settings after power-off or shows a CMOS checksum error at boot.
