AMD

770 Chipset

The AMD

770 Chipset is designed to support up to 5200MT/s

HyperTransport™ 3.0 (HT 3.0) interface speed and PCI Express 2.0

x16 graphics. It is optimized with AMD’s latest AM3 multi-core CPUs to

provide excellent system performance and overclocking capabilities.

MT/s

5200

HyperTransport™ 3.0 support

HyperTransport™ 3.0 technology provides 2.6 times more bandwidth

than HT1.0 that radically improves system efficiency for a smoother and

faster computing environment.

AMD

Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology

This motherboard supports the AMD

Cool ‘n’ Quiet technology which

monitors system operation and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and

frequency for a cool and quiet operating environment.

DDR3 1800(O.C.) support

This motherboard supports DDR3 1800(O.C.)/1600(O.C.)/1333/

1066MHz memory that features faster data transfer rates and more

bandwidth to meet the requirements of the latest operation system, 3D

graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR3

architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost

system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidth up to

25.6GB/s. Furthermore, the supply voltage for the memory is reduced

from 1.8V for DDR2 to just 1.5V for DDR3. This voltage reduction limits

the power consumption and heat generation of DDR3, which makes it an

ideal memory solution.

PCI Express 2.0 support

This motherboard supports PCI Express 2.0 devices for double speed

and bandwidth which enhances system performance.

Gigabit LAN solution

The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is

enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efficient power

management for advanced operating systems.
