Socket AM3 AMD 880G board

The GIGABYTE GA-880G-USB3 is an ATX motherboard built on the AMD 880G chipset for Socket AM3 processors. It provides four DDR3 DIMM slots with a maximum memory capacity of 32 GB and includes a single PCI Express x16 slot running at x16 plus a second x16 slot wired for x4 operation.

Upgraders with AM3 CPUs, not new builds

This board suits owners of existing Socket AM3 processors who need a replacement or a budget platform using DDR3 memory. Builders starting a fresh PC should look elsewhere because the chipset and socket are discontinued and do not support current processors.

32 GB DDR3 ceiling

The four DIMM slots accept up to 32 GB of DDR3, which is the hard limit for memory on this platform. If your workload needs more RAM you must choose a different motherboard.

Questions about this item

What processor socket must I already have to use this GA-880G-USB3 board?

The board uses Socket AM3, so you need an AM3-series CPU to install and run it.

Will my older SATA drives work with the six SATA II ports on this motherboard?

Yes, the six SATA II interfaces accept standard SATA drives and will operate them at SATA II speeds.

How can I confirm the onboard Realtek ALC889 audio is functioning after I build the system?

Connect speakers to the rear audio jacks, play sound in the OS, and verify multi-channel output up to 7.1 through the Realtek control panel.
