Socket AM3+ ATX motherboard

The GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P is an ATX motherboard built on the AMD 970 chipset for Socket AM3+ processors. It targets builders assembling or repairing systems that use this platform. The board ships with an I/O shield and no other accessories.

Replaces an AM3+ board without M.2

This unit replaces a failed or missing Socket AM3+ motherboard in an existing chassis. The jump is worth it when the current board lacks a functional PCI Express x16 slot or has damaged rear I/O. It adds no M.2 slots and includes zero SATA cables.

Installs in a standard ATX case

Installation follows standard ATX mounting patterns using the board’s own screw holes. The missing accessory kit means you must supply SATA cables, a driver disc and any expansion brackets yourself. The 30-day seller warranty covers early defects only.

Highlights

  • AM3+ socket supports compatible AMD processors
  • 970 chipset provides core platform features
  • ATX form factor fits standard cases
  • PCI Express x16 slot enables discrete graphics

Questions about this item

What mounting holes does the ATX form factor board use for case installation?

The board follows the standard ATX mounting pattern with nine screw holes that align to ATX standoffs in compatible cases.

How do I install the I/O shield that comes in the box?

Press the supplied I/O shield into the rear cut-out of the case from the inside until the clips snap, then lower the motherboard onto the standoffs.

Which on-board battery will need replacing when the firmware loses its settings?

The board uses a standard socketed coin cell that can be swapped without soldering when the clock resets after power loss.
