Socket FM2+ A78 micro-ATX board

The GIGABYTE GA-F2A78M-D3H is a micro-ATX motherboard built on the AMD A78 chipset for socket FM2+ and FM2 APUs. It targets builders who want an affordable platform for integrated graphics or a modest discrete card. Four DDR3 slots support up to 64 GB in dual-channel mode.

Suits APU builders; not for newer sockets

This board suits users upgrading an existing FM2 system or building a basic desktop around an A-series APU. It will not fit AM4 or later processors, and the single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot limits multi-GPU setups to two-way CrossFire only.

DDR3 2400 OC memory ceiling

The maximum supported memory speed is DDR3 2400 (OC) with fallback to 2133, 1866, 1600 and 1333 MHz. Buyers must match this DDR3 standard; newer DDR types are physically and electrically incompatible.
