GIGABYTE Super4 ™ boards represent the latest range of next-generation desktop boards on top of AMD's A75 chipset, supporting AMD's Series A and Series B APUs with 32nm FM1 socket and DirectX11 integrated graphics. Not content with providing unmatched performance and advanced graphics capabilities, GIGABYTE Super4 ™ boards come equipped with a comprehensive range of functionality that makes conventional PC users the most attractive platform on the market today.
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 Classic design, featuring 2 ounces of copper for both the Power and Ground layers which dramatically lowers system temperature by delivering a more efficient spreading of heat from critical areas of the motherboard such as the CPU power zone throughout the entire PCB. A 2oz Copper layer design also provides improved signal quality and lower EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), providing better system stability and allowing for greater margins for overclocking.
As the high-definition multimedia revolution continues to gain momentum, hardware standards for audio quality must go hand in hand. All GIGABYTE Super4 ™ boards deliver excellent 7.1 surround sound backed by a proprietary converter that achieves playback quality with a 108dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This means that users will enjoy a better audio experience with lower noise and hissing levels when playing the latest content in HD.
Designed to harness the enormous potential of AMD Fusion's modern A-Series APUs, the GIGABYTE A75-series boards offer an enhanced visual experience that includes advanced DX11 ® gaming, stunningly sharp HD media playback, and support for gaming displays. High resolution of up to 2560 x 1600 pixels through the Dual-link DVI port.
Note: When Dual-link DVI is activated, all other display ports are disabled.
Compatible with Microsoft
® DirectX
® 11, OpenGL 4.1 and OpenCL 1.1 standards, AMD Fusion graphics feature 3DMark Vantage scores (Performance mode) of more than 6000 points, and a 3D gaming experience similar to that offered by average integrated graphics cards.
- Each USB Port has its own dedicated power fusePrevent unwanted USB port failuresProtect important data transfer
Hybrid EFI technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE BIOS maturity such as stability and compatibility with third-party products, with support for 3TB + HDD thanks to EFI technology, allowing GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds thanks to a quick and easy BIOS update using the GIGABYTE @BIOS utility that can be freely downloaded from the GIGABYTE website. GIGABYTE DualBIOS ™ is a proprietary technology that automatically recovers BIOS information when the main BIOS fails. With two built-in physical BIOS ROMs, GIGABYTE DualBIOS ™ enables fast and trouble-free recovery from a corrupted or failed BIOS due to viruses or a bad update. In addition, GIGABYTE DualBIOS ™ now supports booting to 3TB + (terabyte) hard drives without the need for a partition, and allows for greater data storage capacity on a single hard drive. Gigabyte has sent us the GA-A75M-UD2H board. with Micro ATX format and an AMD LLano A8 3800 processor. The board is a sample and it has come to us with a generic box. For this reason we have not included photos of the packaging and its accessories.
In the following image we can see an interesting layout. With this distribution we can install physical VGA cards. In addition to a PCI-E 1X port and another PCI for tuners / sound cards.
The board incorporates Ultra Durable III solid state capacitors and 5 power phases for excellent stability.
The processor we have used has been an AMD Llano A8 3800 of 2400 mhz, with an ATI HD6550D graphics card and 65w of power.
The board supports up to 64GB of 2400mhz DDR3 RAM.
It also includes and includes 6 SATA 6.0 Gbp / s ports and an interesting heatsink on the south bridge.
USB and USB 3.0 connectors.
Rear panel with I / O ports. Highlight DVI, HDMI and 4 USB 3.0 output.

To check the stability of the processor and motherboard. We have performed the following performance tests
- 3dMark Vantage: 8621 PTS TOTAL. CineBench: 2.92 PTS. Battelfield 2 Bad Company.:52.9 FPS. Full HD Playback: Smooth and seamless.
The Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H is a Micro-ATX format motherboard for AMD's FM1 socket. Compatible with all AMD Llano processors of the moment, which incorporates an interesting ATI 6550D graphics card. Ideal for low-power equipment with multimedia and gaming functions. It incorporates high-end motherboard features: 5 power phases (4 + 1), Japanese "Ultra Durable 3" capacitors, support for 64GB of DDR3 RAM (Up to 2400mhz with OC), 4 USB 3.0 ports. and 6 latest technology SATA 6.0 ports. To test its performance we have used two synthetic benchmarks: 3dMArk Vantage with 8621 Pts in the CPU score and Cinebench with 2.92 PTS. But we have found the strong point in the reproduction of high definition files (1080 pts) without stops or scratches. And testing three games: Battelfield 2 Bad Company with 52.9 fps average, Diablo 3 fluid and the famous Dirt3 with 60 fps average. We have also measured its consumption with 42 W in IDLE / idle and up to 145w at FULL / maximum power.In short, the Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H board is one of the best options for AMD Llano processors with integrated APU. Ideal for computers for the multimedia world or for a team with the three BBBs: good, beautiful and cheap.
