Incredible iPad 1.73A charge from a GA-890FXA-UD7 motherboard!

Just took this pic after our On/Off Charge and AMD 800 series chipset motherboard technology demo today. During the event we managed 1.6A (I think Lars from Semiaccurate and Richard from Bit-tech got shots I’m sure). After the event we ran down the iPad battery some more and tried a different cable to produce a whopping 1.73A charge! The monster setup in the background is our new flagship GA-890FXA-UD7 with 4-way CrossfireX on an XL-ATX form factor.

In our marketing materials we say that our USB ports can provide 1.5A, but with any motherboard fuse there will be a degree of tolerance built in. Ours is a little higher even than 1.73A by the way…
