Socket AM3+/AM3 micro-ATX board

This GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2 revision 1.0 motherboard fits Socket AM3+ and AM3 processors in a micro-ATX form factor. It uses the AMD 760G chipset and provides two DDR3 DIMM slots for up to 16 GB of system memory. The board targets builders assembling a compact AMD system with legacy DDR3 components.

Thermals and power in normal use

The AMD 760G chipset and simple voltage regulation run cool under typical desktop loads without active chipset cooling. A single PCI Express x16 slot operating at PCI Express 2.0 and one PCI Express x1 slot keep expansion power draw modest. The micro-ATX layout leaves room for standard case airflow around the CPU socket area.

Bundled accessories and their impact

The retail package includes one SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel for immediate drive and peripheral connection. No additional mounting hardware, driver media or software utilities are supplied beyond the board itself. Builders must source any extra SATA cables, case standoffs or operating-system drivers separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install this Micro ATX board in a case, and what step is often missed?

Mount the board using the Micro ATX screw pattern measuring 24.4 by 18.8 cm, then attach the supplied I/O back panel before securing the board — many builders forget the back panel until after the board is fixed down.

What maintenance will the GA-78LMT-S2 need later?

Replace the metal battery on the board when the system loses time or BIOS settings; the board ships with one battery and no other user-serviceable parts.

What limit appears first when the board runs under sustained load?

Memory capacity stops at 16 GB across the two DDR3 DIMM slots, so heavy multitasking hits that ceiling before the PCI Express 2.0 or SATA interfaces saturate.
