Add Ultra Durability to an Ultra Performance Platform
The GIGABYTE GA-F2A55M-DS2 motherboard takes durability to a new level by providing Ultra Durable 4 Classic features. All Solid Caps (Capacitors) and Low RDS (on) MOSFETs are cleverly arranged on the PCB for longer lifespan and better thermal performance. The GIGABYTE GA-F2A55M-DS2 is constructed to guard against humidity, power surge, and electrostatic discharge. Rest assured that your motherboard will be free from any disturbances. Just install an AMD FM2+/FM2 APU on this motherboard, and unleash its computing and graphics performance. With AMD Dual Graphics Technology, the GIGABYTE GA-F2A55M-DS2 offers you the option to add a discrete graphics card for elevated graphics performance. In the meantime, the AMD Eyefinity Technology offers you the option to hook up two displays for an expansive view.
Comprehensive protectionMuch attention is given to ensure this Ultra Durable 4 Classic motherboard will survive any common malfunction threats users encounter on a day-to-day basis. The gaps between PCB filaments are reduced to a minimum. Humidity cannot play havoc on your motherboard’s circuitry any more. With Anti-Surge ICs, your motherboard will be free from damages caused by power surges. High ESD resistance ICs are also provided to protect your motherboard against electrostatic discharge. The use of All Solid Caps (Capacitors) and Low RDS (on) MOSFETs delivers brilliant component lifespan and lower amount of heat.
GIGABYTE UEFI DualBIOSThe GIGABYTE GA-F2A55M-DS2 employs a “Main BIOS” and a “Backup BIOS”. If the “Main BIOS” failes due to virus attack, hardware malfunction, improper OC settings or power failure during the update process, the “Backup BIOS” will automatically launch data recovery.
Tap into the horsepower of AMD APUThe onboard AMD A55 chipset and the FM2+ APU socket make this motherboard ready to take Kaveri AMD APUs and AMD FM2 APUs. Your motherboard and the AMD APU will be a power couple for adrenaline-pumping performance. FM2+ AMD APUs offer DDR3-2400 AMP memory support, native support for 8 GT/s PCI Express gen 3.0, as well as DX11.1 support integrating the high performance ‘Steamroller’ core.
AMD Dual Graphics TechnologyPush the new limit to graphics performance. The GIGABYTE GA-F2A55M-DS2 can accept a discrete graphics card. With AMD Dual Graphics Technology, you can use the processing power of both the discrete and integrated graphics processors.
AMD Eyefinity TechnologyYou can build a multi-display configuration without installing an extra graphics card. The integrated graphics processor is built with AMD Eyefinity Technology. A Dual-link DVI and A D-Sub ports are offered for connection to two displays. Enjoy the ultimate panoramic computing experience. The Dula-link DVI port offers support for high resolution displays up to 2530 x 1600 pixels.
On/Off Charge technologyA real blessing for iDevice owners. The USB ports on your motherboard are ready to charge your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch at all times, whether your PC is on, in standby mode or even off. Charging will be blistering fast because your iDevices will draw more current from this motherboard’s USB ports than standard USB ports allow. Charge your iDevices quickly at any time.
