ECS A990FXM-A Motherboard Pictured – AM3+ Socket For Bulldozer
Someone has leaked out images of the ECS AMD 990FX chipset based motherboard called the A990FXM-A. This motherboard supports AMDs upcoming Bulldozer based Zambezi-FX processors. The motherboard uses AMD 990FX and SB950 chipsets and the new Black AM3+ socket which would also be backward compatible with AM3. This board sports four DDR3 DIMM slots that support dual-channel DDR3-1866 standard, and DDR3-2133 by overclocking. It looks like these boards are going to be really nice!
Expansion slots include three PCI-Express 2.0 x16 (x16/NC/x16 or x16/x8/x8), supporting NVIDIA 3-way SLI and AMD CrossFireX. Other expansion slots include two PCI-E x1 and a PCI. Storage connectivity includes six internal SATA 6 Gb/s from the southbridge, and a third-party SATA/IDE controller that gives out an internal IDE connector and two eSATA 3 Gb/s ports. Other connectivity features include 8+2 channel HD audio, dual gigabit Ethernet, four USB 3.0 ports (two by header), and Bluetooth. There are some overclocker-friendly features, such as onboard power/reset, rear-panel CMOS clear, onboard PC speaker, diagnostic LED display, and long 8-pin EPS connector for accessibility. Like most other boards, the ECS A990FXM-A is expected to be out in mid-June.
