Sapphire Motherboards Support 125W Phenom

Sapphire Technology is pleased to announce that the new high end, 125W PhenomCPU’s just released by AMD (Model numbers 9750 and 9850) are fully supportedacross the latest range of SAPPHIRE mainboards, including the high endPC-AM2RD790 - PURE CrossFireX 790FX, the new mainstream CrossFire boardPC-AM2RX780 - PURE CrossFireX 770, and the microATX Hybrid CrossFire board withintegrated graphics, PI-AM2RS780G - Hybrid CrossFire 780G.

The PI-AM2RS780G and PC-AM2RD790 will require a BIOS update to recognise the newCPU ID’s correctly. The new BIOS are already posted in the driver section of theSAPPHIRE web site www.sapphiretech.com

Of particular note is that SAPPHIRE has full support for these new CPU’s on its780G product, PI-AM2RS780G. This is NOT the case for the majority of competing780G designs as they have used a far less capable configuration for the powersections and will only be able to support the earlier 95W CPU’s.
