AM3+ Motherboard with 970 Chipset

This Biostar TA970 motherboard uses the AMD 970 and SB950 chipsets on an ATX form factor. It is built for AM3+ socket processors and includes SATA 6Gb/s ports plus USB 3.0 headers. The board ships with a UEFI BIOS and comes with only the I/O shield included.

Builders Replacing an Existing TA970

The unit suits technicians who need a direct replacement for a faulty TA970 revision 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2. It is tested and confirmed working at 100 per cent. Buyers who require original retail packaging or a longer coverage period than the supplied 60 days should look at something else.

Revision-Specific Compatibility

Three hardware revisions exist under the same model name: 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2. BIOS files, voltage regulator layouts or mounting hole positions can differ between them. Confirm the exact revision printed on your current board before ordering to ensure the replacement matches.
