AMD has constantly tried to stay at the cutting edge of technology with all their past motherboard chipsets. The 785G, with robust features, great performance and integrated graphics, has been one such popular chipset. Yet, enthusiasts were looking forward to something that would deliver more power and more features than the 785G. And AMD has not disappointed! The new 890GX from AMD has retained all the features from the previous chipset and in addition includes the new USB 3.0 specification so that all the new USB 3.0 products could be operated at high speeds. ASUS has taken the technology of the 890GX chipset further, combined it with some exciting new features and come up with the ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 890GX Motherboard.
Before one looks at the details of what the motherboard contains, it is interesting to note the Hybrid Logo and the Xtreme Design Logo on the box. ASUS uses the Hybrid logo to indicate that the M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 890GX Motherboard supports both discrete graphics card along with the CrossFireX/SLI and integrated graphics card. The Xtreme Design on the other hand vouches for the safety, reliability and the performance levels of the motherboard. Other standard features are of course, the support for Windows 7, AMD 890GX support and a unique Memory OK button on the board.
There is much to say about the new 890X/SB850 chipset that is used in the ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 890GX Motherboard – in fact the performance of this chipset alone is enough to launch the motherboard to the top of the market. In all standard benchmark tests, the AMD 890GX has outperformed all its competitors. In addition, the motherboard makes use of the SB850 south bridge to provide six, 6GB/s SATA ports while the JMicron JMB 361 controller provides a single eSATA port of 3GB/s along with an IDE controller. There are standard expansion slots such as dual PCI slots and also a pair of PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (these give two lanes of x8 when both become populated). Further, you can find the USB 3.0 port, Gigabit Ethernet and display connectivity in the form of HDMI, DVI and so on.
The performance of the ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 motherboard is highly impressive. For one, it certainly outdid others in terms of speed and stability; moreover, it did not falter even when it came to overclocking. The icing on the cake was the even temperature level this motherboard maintained even when overclocked to top speeds. In fact, the temperatures stayed well below the maximum threshold levels that had been previously specified for the processor. And this with just a standard water-cooling setup! By choosing the right cooling, a gaming enthusiast or high-end computing professional can truly push the speed and performance of the hardware even more.
There is no doubt that the AMD 890GX / SB850 chipset is a definite asset in any mother board – if you are looking for one that has a top-class chipset and gives you a killer performance, you need not look beyond the ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 motherboard.
