AMD 690G + SB600 chipset
OverviewSpecificationsSupportNews & Awards

Specifications

  • CPU
    1. Support for Socket AM2+/ AM2 processors: AMD Phenom™FX processor/ AMD Phenom™ processor/ AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor/AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core processor/AMD Athlon™ 64 processor/AMD Sempron™ processor
    (Note) If you install AMD AM2+ CPU on AM2 motherbord, the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0(5200MHz) to HT1.0(2000 MT/s) spec; however, the frequency of AM2+ CPU will not be impacted. Please refer "CPU Support List" for more information.
  • Chipset
    1. North Bridge Chipset: AMD 690G
    2. South Bridge Chipset: ATI SB600
    3. Super I/O chip: ITE IT8716
    4. Integrated Peripherals
      1. Realtek RTL8110 Gigabit Ethernet
