The TUF series delivers a tough image with its unique design, and high-quality and military-

standard components. The TUF series pursues pre-eminent stability, all-around compatibility, 

and extreme durability.

This motherboard supports AMD

®

 Socket AM3+ multi-core processors with up to 8-core 

native CPU cores, and AMD

® 

CPUs in the new 32nm manufacturing process. It provides 

better overclocking capabilities with less power consumption. It features AMD Turbo CORE 

Technology 2.0 to accelerate data transfer rate up to 5200MT/s rate via HyperTransport™ 3.0 

based system bus.

AMD 990FX Chipset is designed to support up to 5.2GT/s HyperTransport™ 3.0 (HT 3.0) 

interface speed and dual  PCI Express™ 2.0 x16 graphics. It is optimized with AMD AM3+ 

and multi-core CPUs to provide excellent system performance and overclocking capabilities.

PCI Express

®

 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the latest PCI Express bus standard with improved encoding 

schemes that provide twice the performance of current PCIe 2.0. Total bandwidth for a x16 

link reaches a maximum of 32GB/s, double the 16GB/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). As such, 

PCIe 3.0 provides users unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience and 

seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility with PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 

2.0 devices. PCIe 3.0 will become a must-have feature for users who wish to improve and 

optimize graphic performance, as well as have the latest technology available to them.

This motherboard supports multi-GPU configurations of both SLI™ and CrossFireX. This 

motherboard features the AMD

®

 990FX/SB950 platform, optimizing PCIe allocation in multiple 

GPU setups.

The motherboard supports the dual-channel DDR3 memory that features data transfer 

rates of 1866 MHz to boost the system’s performance, and to meet the higher bandwidth 

requirements of 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.
