Thread: G- SUS V-M4A785TD Evo motherboard

AMD had introduced its 785G chipset, which is a development of the 780G and is aimed at budget conscious customers. As before, the chipset will feature sizes of 55 nm produced and the number of transistors has increased only slightly. Called for the AMD 780G or 205 million, this is what the producers this time of "more than 205 million".

The connection of the North Bridge to the processor takes place via HyperTransport 3.0 up to 20.8 GB / s. AMD is sitting at the memory controller in the chipset but not in the CPU, so that the processor and motherboard decide whether DDR2 or DDR3 is supported.

Other devices are connected via PCI-Express 2.0. The graphics here are full 16 lanes available, which cannot, however, spread over two video cards. Therefore, ASUS has four of the six lanes, which are available for other expansion cards, used for the second PEG slot. At home, the IGP can pair it with a graphics card (ATI Hybrid Graphics), which is of course only at very low power models make sense. The South Bridge has four PCI Express lanes associated with the North Bridge, it is thus a bandwidth of 1 GB / s is available.

As South Bridge offer is equal to three models, with most motherboard manufacturers - including the ASUS V-M4A785TD Evo - SB710 will resort to, which is a slightly revised SB700. AMD has removed this minor error, and "Advanced Clock Calibration" added. ACC was only supported by the SB750 and more expensive to allow a direct connection between the CPU and Southbridge higher overclocking.
