"Not only does this help extreme overclockers to reach 7 GHz+ on their Intel Core i7-3770K CPUs"

What?? THAT'S a kick-ass motherboard

 

[zulutech]

I use the previous version of this mother board to OC my 2600k to 5ghz stable, it's awesome. Gigabyte sells some really really nice products ^_^

Orange color = NO!

 

[master_chen]

LOL, it's even uglier than that G1 "Killer Assassin 2" trash. Just shows that there's no end to the level of Gigabyte's stupidity.

It's look pretty nice in a high end orange cougar case with cougar fans(which are famous for generally being orange and of course black plastic)

 

[master_chen]

LOL, so much butthurt Gigabyte fanboys ITT. Delicious.

What board is this? Settings?
I have a z68x-UD7-B3 and a 2600k. I'm no o/c wiz. I can get to about 4.2GHz running prime95 without a BSOD. Any higher, and a crash within seconds. I've run the vcore up to around 1.39v, but am fearful of going higher due to electron migration (processor damage) hazards.

There actually isn't that much Orange on the board! The image looks so orange cause of all the orange text.. The board itself has little more than 2 orange memory slots and 4 orange PCIE x16 slots. Most of these will be covered up once you have a couple of graphics cards and memory installed!

This looks to be one badass board from the few sources I've found.

Gigabyte makes some of the best Mobos out there. I do not recall ever having problems with one.

Like Ferrari, Porsche or Mercedes.... Power and/or Quality come at a price.

 

[amuffin]

32+3+2 power design

OH MAH GAWD

 

[Swolern]

Holy crap LOOK at all those VRMs. Damn!

 

[Noworldorder]

Hope it has Thunderbolt...

Yeah like the Ferrari 458 Italia, that burn itslef to the ground

But yeah 32+3+2 is a bit crazy, and I would love to see that i7 reaching 7Ghz and being in the top of CPU-Z ranking

Your first concern would be getting a liquid-nitrogen system...

That's what the article states 7+Ghz OC, though Crosshair V Formula is the mobo that holds the OC record as CPU-Z says http://valid.canardpc.com/records.php, while only having Extreme Engine Digi+ :- 8 + 2 phase power design, sure is different architecture, but if BD can reach 8.7Ghz with 8+2, what could achieve i7 with 32+3+2, more stability is a given but 8Ghz ?? I doubt that

 

[xtwiinky]

How good is this compared to the Z77X-UD3H and other z77?

 

[tivatar]

Glad to see more USB 3.0 ports than USB 2.0.

As AS Roma fan I must say it's shame that PCB isn't red. De gustibus non est disputandum.

 

[TheBigTroll]

i highly doubt you can even pull 2000+ watts from 2 8pins (hardwarecanucks)

 

[arzbhatia]

Looks good. But not that good as a MVE.

 

[timarp000]

NOW THAT LOOKS COOL!
