Not too long ago we took a look at an HTPC board from GIGABYTE with AMDs 780G chipset on it, the GA-MA78GM-S2H.
This board was fairly nice and would be good enough for most HTPC usage. There was a problem though. When GIGABYTE designed it they did not make it able to support the high-end AMD Phenom X4 CPUs. These CPUs have a TDP of 125W (some up to 140watt). This meant that if you were goofy enough (I really do not know why you would put a 9650 or 9850 on this board) you were out of luck. Well GIGABYTE thought that they would like to change this. But they did not stop there, they went out and redesigned the board and added in a few very nice features. Today we take a look at this evolved new design in the form of the GIGABYTE MA78GPM-DS2H.
