AM3 Socket AMD 790X Board

This ATX motherboard uses the AMD 790X chipset and a Socket AM3 interface for DDR3 memory. It is built for system builders who need a standard desktop foundation with mature platform support. The board accepts up to 16GB of system memory across its slots. It ships with a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel.

DDR3 Memory Limit 16GB

The platform supports DDR3 modules up to a total of 16GB. This ceiling is fixed by the chipset and cannot be exceeded by adding more sticks or higher-density modules. Builders must plan their memory kit within this limit or choose a different platform for larger capacities. The board provides standard SATA ports for storage drives.

Socket AM3 Processor Fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the Socket AM3 processor interface. Only CPUs designed for this exact socket will install and function on this board. No other socket type will fit mechanically or electrically. Verify your processor model before purchase to guarantee 100% compatibility.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a board that supports 16 GB or one with a lower limit for my DDR3 build?

The 16 GB ceiling lets you populate all four slots with 4 GB DDR3 modules, giving the most headroom for multitasking or virtual machines on this platform.

What does the 790X chipset actually deliver once the board is installed?

It provides the core logic for Socket AM3 processors and DDR3 memory, plus native SATA connectivity for drives and the PCI Express lanes used by graphics cards and add-in cards.

Which SATA standard is implemented and what speed does it cap at?

The board uses the SATA interface built into the 790X chipset, which tops out at 3 Gb/s for every connected drive.
