Core i7-870 Overclocking And Fixing Blown P55-Based Boards
Last month, we discovered that many budget P55-based motherboards simply weren't designed to stand up to the rigors of overclocking--bad news for intrepid value-based enthusiasts. Today we revisit the topic with revised boards and a Core i7-870. Read More

Monday Biostar unveiled the very first Dragon Platform qualified motherboard, the TA790GX A3+
According to the company, the TA790GX A3+ uses Biostar's Green Power Utility, enhancing energy efficiency by disabling extra phases while the CPU carries a light load. The integrated GUI monitors what the CPU is resourcing, and then responds by optimizing the power consumption. The board also uses a 4+1-phase VRM design, enhancing the overclocking ability for the Phenom/PhenomII CPU. The TA790GX A3+ natively supports DDR3 memory up to 1333MHz as well, and sports 100 percent solid capacitors.
Biostar says that the TA790GX A3+ utilizes the AMD 790GX+SB750 chipset, designed to support an 5200 MT/s HyperTransport 3.0 (HT3.0) interface and PCI Express 2.0 x 16 graphics. For more graphical power, Biostar slapped in ATI's Radeon HD 3300, however gamers can take advantage of ATI CrossFire X technology, enabling two or more graphics processors to work together to improve system performance. The TA790GX A3+ supports up to four ATI Radeon HD graphics cards as well, and even enables ATI's Hybrid CrossFireX technology under a Windows Vista environment. The board comes packed with a built-in HDMI/DVI connector with HDCP support of 1080p HD resolution, and on-board 128 MB DDR2 side-port memory for that extra oomph with a max shared up to 512MB.
Additionally, end-users can update the TA790GX A3+ BIOS via a USB flash stick before entering the OS. Consumers can even bring the BIOS back to life - if corrupted - through the board's BIO-ReLife technology. The TA790GX A3+ also features a few other nifty additions including a hardware installation debugger using LED indicators, a rapid switch to allow users to test the board without short-circuiting the wrong pins, and an overclocking setting within the BIOS itself.
Biostar's TA790GX A3+ supports the AMD Phenom II X4 (Socket AM3), the Phenom II X3 (Socket AM3), and features a maximum CPU TDP (thermal Design Power) of 140Watt. The board contains 4 DDR3 DIMM memory slots (supporting up to 16 GB memory), 2 PCI slots, 2 PCI-E x1 2.0 slots, and 2 PCI-E x16 2.0 slots. On the storage side, the board has 6 SATA2 2Gb/s connectors, 1 IDE connector, and supports STAT RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. For a total list of hardware specs, head here.

i believe that this part is messed up. enabling two or more graphics processors to work together to improve system performance. The TA790GX A3+ supports up to four ATI Radeon HD graphics cards as well, how can this support 4 graphics cards?!?! i think you mean 4 graphics CORES.

You can put a video card in a PCI-E x1 2.0 slot. I wouldn't recommend it for performance degredation reasons, but you can do it.
I thought that Sata 2 was 3Gb/s?
Let me clarify: If the ends of the slots were open, you could put a video card in a PCI-E x1 2.0 slot. But, I doubt the ends of the slots are open so physically, no you probably couldn't put more than 2 video cards on this board. Sorry computerninja7823
hey its cool arson 94...i just wanted to try and clarify things...i doubt anyone would want to put four graphics cards in a setup like that it would be wiser just to wait and see what other companies release down the road
~compninja~
is this the first AM3 board?
No its just the first one from Biostar
well technically speaking other mobos right now have am2+ boards that sometimes support am3 however this board is specifically designed for am3 and is backward compatible with am2 and am2+ so yeah this is the first real am3 board designed to fully take advantage of the new AMD dragon technology.
it is NOT backward compatible as it uses DDR3, correct me if i'm wrong?...
only the new processors have a DDR3 memory controller. The OLDER boards are supposedly compatible with the newer processors as the newer processors have both a DDR2 and DDR3 integrated memory controller within the processor
