What is the difference between the gigabyte ga z97x soc http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4967#ov and the gigabyte ga z97x soc force http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4949#ov ? I'm building a new overclocking rig but I can't find out if these two have any differences...
What is the difference between these two motherboards?

Don't you know how to use the "Compare" feature on their website?

I'm building a new rig with one of these Gigabyte motherboards too with the new 4790K Devils Canyon Processor and found that the Force has the Qualcomm® Atheros Killer E2201 Lan chip and the non-Force has the Intel GbE LAN Chip. The Force also has only 6 PCI slots with 1 PCI Express X4 Slots and the non-Force has 7 Expansion slots with 2 PCI Express X4 Slots. The way I see it you are getting a better lan chip but losing a PCI slot with the Force, the non Force still has a good lan chip and an extra slot. I think I am going with the non-Force MB because the extra expansion slot is more important to me. Those are the only differences I see besides price. Good luck with your build.
