GIGABYTE F2A85X-UP4 Motherboard Pictures Released - AMD FM2 Socket & A85 Chipset

Gigabyte's GA-F2A85X-UP4 FM2 AMD "Trinity" motherboard appears to be ready to ship as the company has posted up images of the board this morning to show off the finished mainboard. It is rumored that AMD will be launching the FM2 Socket for the upcoming Trinity APUs next month. The GA-F2A85X-UP4 features Gigabyte's new power delivery system, which promises much cooler VRM temps thanks to some interesting IP from International Rectifer and 60A per phase. Systems using this technology will use the 'UP' naming system rather than the 'UD' that Gigabyte has been using over the past several years.

As you can see from the image above, the GA-F2A85X-UP4 clearly has three full length x16 PCI Express slots for graphics cards, but from what we know of the AMD A85 chipset the third slot is likely only electrically x4. This board has all four display outputs (DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, VGA), six SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports (4 rear & 2 front), SATA III 6Gbps storage drive support, DualBIOS and tons of other goodies. Not a bad looking board that will be using the latest AMD A85 Chipset for the upcoming Trinity APUs! We have high resolution images of this board that you can check out in the forums here.
