Socket AM3+ ATX Platform

This GIGABYTE GA 990X Gaming SLI motherboard delivers an AMD 990X chipset on a 30.5cm x 24.4cm ATX form factor. It accepts AM3+ processors and provides four DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 64 GB of system memory. The board includes six SATA III ports and one M.2 interface for storage expansion.

Upgrade Path for AM3+ Systems

This board suits builders extending the life of an existing Socket AM3+ CPU and DDR3 memory kit. It is not for buyers who want more storage interfaces than six SATA III and one M.2 slot provide, nor for builders who need a platform supporting newer memory types or different CPU sockets.

64 GB DDR3 Maximum Capacity

The four DIMM slots top out at 64 GB total, which decides whether this board can meet your memory target. If your workload requires more than 64 GB, this motherboard cannot satisfy that requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 64 GB capacity option or a smaller kit for this board?

The board supports up to 64 GB across four DDR3 DIMM slots, so you can install the full 64 GB kit or a smaller matched set depending on your workload and budget.

What does the 990X chipset actually deliver once the board is built into a system?

The AMD 990X chipset enables Socket AM3+ CPU support and provides the platform for the board's 6x SATA III and single M.2 interfaces.

What SATA standard does the M.2 and the six SATA ports use, and what speed does that cap at?

Both the M.2 interface and the six SATA ports run at SATA III, limiting each drive to the SATA III maximum transfer rate.
