The ECS 790GXM-AD3 is an AMD motherboard based of the 790GX/SB750 chipset and supports both CrossFire and Hybrid CrossFireX with the integrated HD 3300 graphics and onboard video memory buffer. To keep the A790GXM-AD3 AM3 board cool while operating, ECS has placed a large amount of copper in their heatsinks. There is one over the voltage regulators, one over the Northbridge to cool the NB and the Sideport memory, and one over the Southbridge. ECS A790GXM-AD3 mainboard has two PCI Express x16 slots which support both CrossFire and Hybrid CrossFireX with the onboard ATI HD 3300 graphics. There are also two PCI Express x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots for additional expansion card such as networking, audio, and more. Back panel of this AMD motherboard offers a whole lot of connections to get you up and running with minimal fuss. There are a PS/2 mouse and keyboard port, a clear CMOS button, a VGA port, an HDMI port, six USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port, one LAN port, and the audio port which supports 8 channel HD audio and SPDIF. A few things of note is the inclusion of an eSATA port is almost necessary with external storage having high capacities these days, so it is nice to see ECS keeping up with current and future technology. Although ECS 790GXM-AD3 motherboard has a VGA port and an HDMI port, there is no DVI port on it.
