MSI DKA790GX server motherboard AM2+ 2600 MHz DDR2 8 GB ATX

SKU CH-ECAB-7R2H2 MPN DKA790GX

AMD 790GX server board with Socket AM2+, four DDR2 DIMM slots supporting 8 GB at 2600 MHz, integrated Radeon HD 3300 graphics and dual PCIe 2.0 x16 slots in ATX form factor

  • AMD 790GX chipset drives Socket AM2+ at 2600 MHz bus
  • ATI Radeon HD 3300 graphics built into the board
  • Dual PCIe 2.0 x16 slots for multi-GPU or add-in cards
  • Four DDR2 DIMM slots support up to 8 GB at 1.8 V
  • Realtek RTL8111C Gigabit Ethernet for wired network connectivity

Server motherboard for AMD AM2+ systems

The MSI DKA790GX is an ATX server motherboard built around the AMD 790GX and SB750 chipsets. It accepts Socket AM2+ processors and provides integrated ATI Radeon HD 3300 graphics. The board targets administrators who need a compact platform for legacy workloads.

DDR2 capacity with 8 GB ceiling

Four 240-pin DIMM slots support DDR2 SDRAM at up to 2600 MHz and a maximum of 8 GB total memory. This headroom suits basic virtualization or file-serving tasks, but the 8 GB limit and 1.8 V requirement rule out larger datasets or modern memory modules.

Single PCIe 2.0 x16 expansion path

The board offers two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, yet only one CPU socket is present, so multi-GPU or dual high-bandwidth add-in cards cannot be fully utilized. Builders needing multiple full-speed expansion devices should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will my DDR2-2600 modules reach the board's 2600 MHz bus speed?

The board supports DDR2 SDRAM up to 2600 MHz across four 240-pin DIMM slots, so modules rated at that speed can run at their rated frequency.

How can I verify the onboard ATI Radeon HD 3300 is active after assembly?

Connect a display to the graphics adapter output; if the POST screen and OS desktop appear without a discrete card, the integrated Radeon HD 3300 is functioning.

What ships with the motherboard and what must I source separately?

The motherboard itself is supplied; CPU, DDR2 memory, storage drives, 24-pin and 4-pin ATX12V power cables, I/O shield and expansion cards are not included.
