AM3+ AMD 970 Motherboard

The GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P revision 2.0 is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD 970 north bridge and SB950 south bridge. It accepts AM3+ FX and AM3 series processors including Athlon, Phenom, Opteron and Sempron 100 Series CPUs. Ultra Durable components protect against humidity, power surges and electrostatic discharge, while dual BIOS adds recovery safety.

Builders using legacy AMD platforms

This board suits enthusiasts maintaining or upgrading an existing AM3 or AM3+ system who need 2-way CrossFire support and high-quality onboard audio with dedicated noise guard. Builders planning a new platform that requires a different socket, newer memory standards or integrated Wi-Fi should look elsewhere.

DDR3 2000 OC memory support

The motherboard runs DDR3 up to 2000 MHz when overclocked and 1866 MHz at standard speeds. If the planned memory kit exceeds this rating or uses a different memory type, the system will not operate correctly.
