Socket FM1 AMD A55 motherboard

The GIGABYTE GA-A55M-S2H is a Micro ATX board built around the AMD A55 chipset and Socket FM1. It supports up to 64 GB of DDR3 memory across two DIMM slots and provides one PCI Express x16 slot, one x4 slot and one x1 slot. Integrated Realtek ALC889 audio delivers up to 7.1 channels with S/PDIF output, while a Realtek RTL8111E controller supplies 10/100/1000 Mbit LAN. Six SATA II ports and up to ten USB 2.0 ports complete the I/O.

Suits FM1 APU upgrades and basic desktop builds

This board fits users replacing or assembling a system around an FM1 APU who need legacy DDR3 support and a compact Micro ATX form factor. The six SATA II ports and ten USB 2.0 connections cover multiple drives and peripherals. Builders requiring newer CPU sockets or higher memory bandwidth should look at something else.

Maximum 64 GB DDR3 capacity

The two DIMM slots accept DDR3 modules up to a combined 64 GB, which is the single specification that determines whether this board meets the memory needs of the intended system.

Questions about this item

Which processor socket must my CPU match for the GA-A55M-S2H?

The board uses Socket FM1, so only FM1 APUs will fit and function.

Can I keep my DDR3 memory when moving to this board?

Yes, the two DIMM slots accept DDR3 modules up to a total of 64GB.

How do I confirm the onboard audio is active after building?

The Realtek ALC889 codec supports up to 7.1-channel output; verify in the OS sound control panel that all channels appear and play test tones.
