A79A-S
Part of the Digital Life series of motherboards, the A79A-S offers enhanced connectivity and entertainment capability, backed-up by high-performance features and components. Based on the AMD 790FX chipset, the A79A-S includes HyperTransport™ 3.0 technology for massively increased CPU-system bandwidth, and supports AM2+ Phenom processors in addition to all existing socket AM2 models. 4* PCIe Gen2.0 x16 slots are provided, enabling support for ATI CrossFireX™ technology, which harnesses the power of up to 4 ATI graphics cards. The A79A-S is designed for high-performance systems and supports Dual DDR2 1066MHz memory for better overall system performance. The onboard 95dB SNR audio includes both DTS CONNECT™ and Dolby Digital Live™ certifications, and can split 2 different sound sources from your PC thanks to Dual Digital Audio technology, which also provides more audio output options - via analogue or 2 digital audio S/PDIF outputs.
DTS CONNECT™ Dolby Digital Live™ audioENABLING DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT
Exceptional audio quality, with 95dB SNR, DTS CONNECT™ and Dolby Digital Live™ certification guarantees the highest quality fidelity for games and movies
What is Dolby Digital Live?Converts PC audio to a Dolby Digital format for a dramatic, real-time audio experience for game play and simple (one plug) connection to other home theater devices
How does Dolby Digital Live benefit the customer?Easy networking: enables a single digital connection to other devices.Realistic, cinematic gaming with the gamer in the center of the action.
DTS CONNECT ™ENABLING DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT
• DTS Connect includes DTS Neo:PC™ and DTS Interactive™ to bring new sound capabilities to the PC. – DTS Neo:PC converts stereo sources into 7.1 channel sound – DTS Interactive enables the user to re-encode multichannel sources into 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround for playback through a home entertainment system.
Listen to Stereo Movies and Music in Surround Sound • What is DTS Neo:PC 1. DTS Neo:PC expands conventional stereo sources (CD, MP3, WMA, even Internet FM radio) into as many as 7.1 channels of surround sound.
2. Virtually any stereo sound source connected to or stored on the PC can be expanded as shown in the following diagram:
• What is DTS Interactive? – DTS Interactive encodes any 5.1 channel audio source into full DTS Digital Surround and links a PC to a DTS capable home entertainment system.
– DTS Interactive connects a PC with a home entertainment system with a single digital cable, making setup simple. The diagram below illustrates the DTS Interactive encoding process.
Dual Digital Audio ENABLING DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT
Digital Fibre/Optical and Coaxical S/PDIF outputs provide the highest quality sound output, and more flexibility for connecting audio systems. Dual Digital Audio enables you to isolate different sound sources on your PC and split them between either the two digital outputs or via analogue 7.1 channel audio and front panel audio outputs

Enhanced Connectivity CONNECTIVITY FOR THE DIGITAL WORLD
The new SB750 Southbridge provides more SATAII and USB ports than the earlier SB600. The A79A-S can therefore support 6* SATAII, 2* eSATA, 2* Firewire (1394a) and 12* USB2.0 ports.
SATA RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 functionality can be easily managed by the AMD RAIDXpert™ utility.
-Manage your drives for better performance or reliability- Manage your RAID Remotely
Supports 6 internal Serial ATAII and 2* External Serial ATA (eSATA)Higher data transfer speed : 2 times faster than Serial ATA 6 times faster than USB 2.0 Easy to extend for all SATA device – HDD, optical drive
Dual Gigabit LAN CONNECTIVITY FOR THE DIGITAL WORLD
Do more online with Dual Gigabit LAN connect to 2 independent networks without speed loss, or share your internet connection with another computer.
Supports socket AM2+ and AM2 processorsENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Designed to support the latest AMD Phenom™ processors along with socket AM2 Athlon™ 64 and Sempron™ CPUs
HyperTransport™ 3.0 ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
HyperTransport™ 3.0 technology provides incredible system agility for improved 3D graphics performance.
HT3.0 provides an aggregate bandwidth of 41.6GB/s which means much greater data transfer capability between CPU and system
Why HT3.0? The increased bandwidth provided by HT3.0 allows for a more balanced system and maximizes the processing power of multi-core CPUs and multi-GPU configurations
ATI CrossFireX™ PCIe Gen2.0 Support ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Supports latest Intel® processors up to 1600(oc)MHz FSB ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
CrossFireX™ support with PCIe2.0 ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
4* PCIe x16 Gen2.0 ( x16+x16 or 4* x8 mode) with CrossFireX™ support delivers unrivalled graphics expansion capability.
PCIe Generation 2.0PCI Express Gen2.0 technology doubles the available aggregate bandwidth between PCIe Generation 2 cards and the motherboard. This means a Gen2.0 16-lane (x16) link can provide up to 16GB/s of bandwidth 8GB/s in each direction. PCIe2.0 is backwards compatible, and so existing PCIe “Gen1” cards can be plugged into Gen eration 2.0 slots.
AOD with ACC Technology ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Supports AOD with ACC(Advance Clock Calibration) technology for enhanced Phenom™ CPU performance!
Supports Dual DDR2 1066** /800/667/533MHz ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
100% SOLID Capacitor Ferrite Choke Design ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Foxconn's 100% SOLID Capacitor design improves component reliability, by replacing electrolytic capacitors with solid versions this removes the risk of capacitor failure damaging the PCB and surrounding components, whilst improving overall system performance and stability. Solid capacitors are much more durable than standard electrolytic versions, typically lasting around 6 times longer and withstanding higher operating temperatures.
Ferrite Choke Ferrite Choke design improves power delivery to the motherboard. By using an iron-oxide core, the Ferrite Choke design can hold energy at a higher frequency than traditional iron cores, resulting in less power loss, and more stability and performance capability for your system, especially when under heavy loading.
FoxOne™ Premium ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
FoxOne™ Premium technology enables easy overclocking, voltage adjustment, fan control and system monitoring from a dedicated Windows application
Supports AMD OverDrive™ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Fully supports AMD OverDrive™ utility for overclocking, system monitoring and testing.
LED Debug Display Onboard On/Off/CMOS Reset Buttons ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
2-digit LED readout displays hardware status and enables quick error diagnosis.
Onboard power (on/off/reset) and CMOS Reset buttons are located directly on the motherboard PCB, so you can easily start and reset your system whilst testing it on the workbench, or clear CMOS after failed overclocking attempts.
