PHYSICAL DETAILS
The A75M-UD2H is laid out similarly to previous AM3 microATX boards. Most of the connectors are placed at the edges of the board where they are easily accessed though the 4-pin AUX12V connector is in the top left corner, making it a pain to connect in cases with top-mounted power supplies.
|
The only noticeable difference between the A75M-UD2H and previous Gigabyte microATX AM3 motherboards is the elimination of the Northbridge chip, allowing the APU socket to sit a little lower than usual.
|
|
The board sports an all solid-state capacitor design, five SATA ports, two PCI-E 16x slots (the second one runs at 4x though), FireWire, and USB 3.0 with an onboard header located under the FCH (chipset) heatsink.
|
|
The area around the socket is cleanly arranged but like past AMD boards the memory slots are a little too close for comfort. If a large third party heatsink will be installed, memory with high heatspreaders should be avoided as they may cause interference.
|
|
The plastic retention bracket has been slimmed down, but AM2/AM3 heatsink compatibility remains. The pin array has been changed with FM1's 905 pins arranged around a small rectangular hole at the center.
|
|
All the common display options are available on the rear panel: VGA, DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort. S/PDIF, FireWire, eSATA, and USB 3.0 connectors are also offered.
|
|
The chipset heatsink is held on with spring-loaded screws while the VRM heatsink is secured with plastic pushpins. The backplate appears to be identical to those on AM3 models.
