New AMD motherboard

Posted by Unknown

For overclockers, the A79A-S comes with Foxconn's proprietary Windows-based overclocking utility, FoxOne, which allows newbie overclockers to adjust their motherboard settings without venturing into the more complex BIOS environment.

Since the SB750 Southbridge was designed specially for overclockers, now is probably a good time to mention talk about it. One of the key features of the SB750 is the incorporation


of something called Advance Clock Calibration (ACC), which is a feature that works together with AMD's Overdrive to give overclockers more headroom with AMD Phenom chips - up to 200MHz or more in some cases. To add on, the new Southbridge will also support RAID 5, something that was missing from its predecessor, the SB600. Other features include more SATA 3Gbps ports (two more for a total of six) and USB 2.0 support for up to 12 ports (an increase from 10 ports). There's also an SB700 Southbridge model that has identical features to the SB750, sans the RAID 5 support.
