BIOSTAR TA890GXB HD Ver. 6.x Pro Reviews

benchmarkreviews‘s review Edit

TA890GXB-HD represents the entry-level market for the new motherboards sporting the 800 series of chipsets. As such, this BioStar motherboard is the least expensive of all AMD-890GX products available. While the TA890GXB-HD offers an onboard power and reset switch that I absolutely love, they fail to offer some of the other amenities found on some boards. A 7.1 Channel Audio CODEC and more USB ports would make the TA890GXB-HD much more valuable that it already is. I'm not surprised that there is no USB 3.0 support or a MOSFET heatsink, but even entry-level boards can have nice components. Still, the TA890GXB-HD packs quite a punch for under $100, and is the most affordable 890GX motherboards available.

motherboards‘s review Edit

One of the big pluses with the AMD platform is the ACC or Advanced Clock Calibration. This value added feature is excellent, allowing a 960T CPU to be unlocked to 6 cores from 4 cores. BIOSTAR’s TA890GXB HD motherboard will be available for around $89 making it an excellent choice for the person that wants to build an inexpensive 6 core system. Overclocking is excellent as well with the V8 setting totally stable. This board can even be set up as an inexpensive HTPC option, though you will probably want a better sound option than the 5.1 provided by the board. The HD 4290 integrated graphics is faster than the last generation of AMD, the 790GX integrated and sufficient for casual gaming.
