What is the difference between the gigabyte ga z97x soc http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=... and the gigabyte ga z97x soc force http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4... ? I'm building a new overclocking rig but I can't find out if these two have any differences...

I have used the compare feature on gigabyte.com, newegg.com, and various others however they seem identical.

If You want high oc choose force one, if no standard will be ok. Look also on AsRock mb, z97 extream 4 / 6. Very good MBs with good OC and power design, also very nice temps on z97 chipset (i got one and its very good).
