good AM3+ motherboard with supported USB 3.0 chipset available - impossible mission?
Hi folks,
good AM3+ motherboard with supported USB 3.0 chipsetI was searching for hours, many hours - but found nothing! The usb 3.0 chipset support (asmedia, etron, ...) seems to be a big problem under linux. The prices for the AMD-CPUs are so low, I would like to set up a new box - but with a motherboard fully supported. Any hints? Your help is appreciated! --dhukas (sorry for my english, I've done my very best ;) |
I have an Asus M5A97 motherboard which has USB 3.0 support.
I haven't had any problems with it. |

I use an ASUS M5A99X Evo and it works fine.
@EDDY1: The HD5000 series is still supported, AMD dropped support for HD2/3/4000. |
My bad I meant under 5000

Mobo M4 A89GTD PRO/USB3
It works well but I use nvidia 9400GT video card. When I built computer thought I needed video card so bought it, but if I did it again I would do a little more research before buying mobo. |

Thanks for all the answers! I guess the stuff I've read in the internet was a little bit outdated - I searched around again and it seems that the problematic chipsets asmedia and etron are supported in the "newer" kernels. Now I'm spoilt for choice - asus, asrock or gigabyte? I guess I'll go with asus, maybe the M5A97...
Thanks again! dhukas |
I personally prefer the gigabyte AMD boards, but I wouldnt pay much more for them than the asus AMD boards of similar level.
BTW, if you have a major preference for asus, and care enough about USB 3.0 to worry about it, then you might do better to get a M5A97 R2.0 over the original M5A97. The R2.0 boards have 4 x USB 3.0 ports, 2 with pinouts to for front panel USB 3.0 ports (original M5A97 only has 2 x USB 3.0 ports on the back panel). |
