Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H vs Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK Whats the difference?

MAwaitforitJESTIC · Aug 11, 2014

Hey guys, I'm really confused as to the difference between a black edition and non black edition GA-Z97X-UD5H. I can get the non black edition and i5 4690k for 351.79 at Microcenter, but the black edition will cost me about $400 to $410. Can someone tell me the differences?

all I can see is hype

black edition mobos have been burn in tested for 1 whole week so you absolutely know 100% that your getting a board that won't fail.

But from what newegg.com's video said about gigabytes testing, only less than 10% of the test systems fail, that includes the power suppily, cpu, graphics card and RAM so it's even less for the motherboard. So a non black will still be good for you.

But it shouldn't be that expensive, here in the U.S it's only $200 and around $170 for the non black version.

as I said hype unless there's a disassembly review and shows that the black come with higher end parts or something other than the word ''black'' or parts painted black to make it look cool you got to lean towards hype

The standard and Black Edition are identical up to the last capacitor, the only thing that is different is the colour scheme used. The heatsink on the normal edition are gold coloured, the black edition as the

Alright, thanks I think I'll go with standard as not many gigabyte boards fail. Thanks for all your help!

MAwaitforitJESTIC :

Good choice, since I've never had a gigabyte motherboard fail on me, and I've used them for years.

As mentioned they are heavily tested for a week before being boxed. But additionally, Black Edition gets a longer warranty. Plus you get to sign up to the Black Edition members club to have the chance to win some hardware and a trip to Taiwan for Computex 2015... not bad in my opinion...

Actually the Newegg vid says it is less than 1 %
