Are you actually going to use any of the features that cause it to cost so much? E.g. thunderbolt 3, 5 gigabit ethernet, etc. If not, I'd say it's probably a waste of money and you could get something that will perform just as well for a lot less money.

That's a good point. I was mainly a fan of the aesthetics among other things.

I am also looking at the new EVGA boards such as FTW K or Classified.

I own one and i can not find an owners thread or an overclocking guide for it yet. Been googling for days. I love this board tho. The LEDs could be better and their website says 12 power phase's but the retail box says 14 power phases.

Hello everyone. I hope all is well. I have been having trouble getting information about the overclocking features of this motherboard. Here is a list of the features I would like to know more about. Any and all information is greatly appreciated.


Inside the CPU Configuration section of the OC Tweaker tab pt 1
CPU BLCK Amplitude- Will I need to mess with this if I'm limitied to AIO water cooling?
CPU Slew Rate- Will I need to mess with this if I'm limitied to AIO water cooling?
CPU PLL ORT- What is this?
Divider- What is this?

Inside the CPU Configuration section of the OC Tweaker tab pt 2
Boot Performance Mode- What is this?
FCLK Frequency- What is this?
AVX Ratio Offset- Do I put a multiplier here (Ex. 44)?
BLCK Aware Adaptive Voltage- What is this?
Ring to Core Ratio Offset- What is this and Will I need to mess with this if I'm limitied to AIO water cooling?
Long Duration Power Limit- What is a good limit for the i7-7700K and the motherboard I have?
Short Duration Power Limit- What is a good limit for the i7-7700K and the motherboard I have?
CPU Core Power Limit- What is a good limit for the i7-7700K and the motherboard I have?

Inside the Voltage Configuration section of the OC Tweaker tab pt 1
Voltage Mode- There are two options. Stable and OC Mode. Both deal with adding voltage. What is the real difference?
Boost CPU PLL Voltage- Will I have to mess with this if I'm going for a 5GHz OC?
CPU Internal PLL Voltage- What is this?​

Well I would agree with you, but I finished in the 10th in HWBot's Rookie Rumble #42 OC competition. This board beat custom water looped PCs with just a Corsair H115i. It is hands down the best OC board you can buy in the Z270 chipset. The only boards that beat mind were $500 ASUS boards that were customed cooled.

Not to mention that everyone that beat me was using a delidded 7700K and I wasn't.
