The Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P uses Gigabyte's famed Ultra Durable 3 technology on this budget friendly AMD socket AM3 platform. This technology brings 2 oz copper PCB and further helps to reduce the system temperature and dramatically enhance the performance. Based on AMD 770 chipset, the GA-MA770T-UD3P supports all the 45nm AMD AM3 Phenom II series processors that feature DDR3 memory controllers and HyperTransport 3.0 technology. According to AMD the 770 chipset lacks ATI CrossFireX Technology, Quad PCIE Blocks, GPU-Plex Technology, and Auto Xpress. Three of these features revolve around the board only having a single PCI Express 2.0 slot, so if you only plan on running one video card these features don't mean much to you. The layout on the board was actually quite good, with no real issues. The Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P has 4 dimm slots that support up to 16GB of DDR3 memory in dual channel configuration at speeds of DDR3 800, 1066, 1333 and 1600 (overclocked). And just to the right of the dimm slots is the 24-pin power connector that is placed perfectly at the edge of the board. The Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P has two legacy PCI slots, four x1 PCIE slots and one x16 slot that conforms to the PCI Express 2.0 standard. The six SATA connectors support RAID in 0, 1 and 0+1 modes. The audio on the board is powered by the Realtek ALC888 which provides 7.1 Hi Def audio and LAN is powered by the Realtek 8111C/D(L) chips. The CPU socket is actually clear of all obstructions, and should not have any problems with an aftermarket cooling solution. The bundle is super thin on this board. Just two SATA cables, an IDE cable, owner's guides, the driver and app CD, the backplate, and the all important sticker.
