ASUS M4A87TD AM3 Board

The ASUS M4A87TD is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD 870 chipset for Socket AM3 processors. It supports up to 16GB of DDR3 memory across four slots. The board targets builders assembling or repairing a system that requires this specific platform.

Installation Notes

Standard ATX mounting holes align with most cases, and the 24-pin plus 4-pin power headers follow the usual layout. The I/O shield is included in the package. A common issue is forgetting to update the BIOS when installing a newer AM3 CPU, which can prevent the system from posting.

DDR3 16GB Limit

The chipset and board design cap total system memory at 16GB using DDR3 modules. If your workload needs more capacity, this motherboard cannot accommodate it. Verify that your existing or planned memory kits are DDR3 before purchase.
