8 Phase Power Design |
Since quite some time Gigabyte has been equipping its boards with digital power designs. With the Z97X-SOC Force they are very proud about their solution which is using components from International Rectifyer (IR3553 and IR3563B) and each phase offers up to 60A. Additionally Gigabyte makes use of special black capacitors which are rated a 10'000 hours at 105°C. | |
OC Ignition |
If you activate OC Ignition basically everything on the system turns on but the CPU. In this case for example iRAM is able to preserve memory states and also all fan are running. It can also be a practical features if you want to fill up a new custom watercooling solution. | |
OC Touch |
OC-Touch enables overclockers to quickly and easily get more performance from their system. With onboard OC-Touch buttons, users are able to manually raise and lower the CPU ratio, change BCLK settings, and even change the BCLK stepping. These changes can be made at any time whether in the BIOS or Windows or in real-time without the need for rebooting, so users can quickly fine-tune to find their CPU’s maximum frequency. In the same area of the board you find voltage measurement points and connectors. Included in the delivery are twelve voltage measurement cables to easily connect a voltage read-out device. | |
OC Brace |
Included in the delivery you find the so called OC Brace. In our opinion this is one of the most practical new features in a long time. If you attach the OC Brace to the motherboard, you can then safely install graphics cards using screws to attach them to the OC Brace. | |
SATA Express Connector |
SATA Express is a new port for storage devices that basically combines two SATA connectors and bundles them. Each SATA Express port has been wired using two PCI Express Gen2 lanes offering a total of 10 Gbps bandwidth. Compared to SATA-III with 6 Gbps bandwidth this is quite an improvement. | |
Killer E2201 |
Gigabyte equips their gaming motherboards with an E2201 Killer NIC. This chip is capable of providing features like traffic shaping on application level, which can help realizing a smoother online gaming experience. |
At a first glance the Gigabyte Z97X-SOC Force leaves a very good impression with its harmonic design. The manufacturer decided to go for a combination of black and orange which suites nicely and in the end you get an aesthetic product. The layout itself is well thought and there is for example plenty of space around the CPU socket to install even todays largest CPU coolers. The fact that there are SATA connectors which have been angled by 90 degrees allow an easy installation of oversized graphics cards. Another very practical thing are the two standard USB ports right next to the SATA connectors. Overclockers will love them but they're also practical if you own a case where the front USB ports have to be connected using a standard USB cable. Usually you have to rout this cable to the backside of the motherboard to connect it with a USB port located at the I/O panel.
The current converters are being held at adequate temperatures via a passive heatpipe cooling solution. There are two separate cooling blocks covering the area, which are connected via a heatpipe. The southbridge got a cooling block too, which has not been integrated into the heatpipe loop of the VRM. The fact that the cooling blocks around the CPU socket aren't too big, makes it comfortable to install a big aircooler. We also noticed the very high manufacturing quality of the cooling blocks.
Totally ASUS equipped the Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 with eight SATA ports, where six of them have been angled by 90 degrees. This number of SATA ports should be sufficient for any office PC or gaming system. Other than six SATA 6Gbps ports that have been wired natively to the PCH there are also the two straight connectors, which have been connected to an ASMedia chip. Apart from that there is also one SATA Express port. Right next to the SATA ports there is a USB 3.0 header which has also been angled by 90 degrees. Unfortunately you won't find practical onboard power- and reset-buttons. ASUS also didn't equip the Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 with a debug display which would have been useful if you should once have issues with one of the components in your system. Regarding the full size PCI Express slots, there is two slots space inbetween the first and the second one. This means, that graphics cards, even in SLI/CrossFire won't run into temperature issues.
Totally you'll find seven fan headers on the ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 which is more than enough, to provide a well equipped midrange or even a high-end-system with fresh air. Apart from that there are two additional, special fan headers to connect 35 millimeter assist fans to the board. These fans can be used to improve airflow underneath the thermal armor. Furthermore all the fans connected to the different fan headers can be controled via the software you use for the thermal radar.
Looking at I/O-panel ASUS equipped the Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 with four USB 3.0/2.0 ports, four USB 2.0 port, two gigabit ethernet ports, an analogue audio panel, an optical out and an HDMI as well as a DisplayPort connector. Furthermore there also is a BIOS flash back button.

The first
impression of the Z97X-SOC Force from Gigabyte leaves us wanting for
more.
We like the individual design of this board, which actually follows the
original X58A-OC, the Z77X-UD7 as well as the very famous Z87X OC. The Z97X-SOC Force is a motherboard that really targets extreme overclockers, but nevertheless Gigabyte succeeded in crafting a product that is equally attractive to the guys handling LN2 as well as watercooling/aircooling setups. Both worlds will be able to squeeze the maximum out of their systems using this board. The next important thing is the price. At around 175 Euro you get a board that comes with an armada of features. |

Layout | + | - | |
Basically, the Gigabyte Z97X-SOC Force features a layout that has been very well thought. Once more there are practical angled SATA connectors as well as the power- and reset-buttons. There is also a debug display which is very useful in case you should have issues with a component in your system or the board itself. Right next to the SATA ports you find two standard USB ports which are very practical during overclocking. Should you own a case where the front USB ports are connected with a standard USB cable instead of an onboard USB 3.0 connector, then you do not have to route this cable to the I/O panel anymore. Even the placement of the four PCI-Express x16 slots is well chosen. Between two slots there is always one empty slot. We think this is a good number of PCI Express x16 slots for an overclocking/gaming motherboard altough most gamers will never use four graphics cards in their build. But still it leaves you with plenty of options if you want to plug in other expansion cards. Overclockers will also like the voltage readouts as well as the OC Brace. | -

Performance | + | - | |
Calculating the average of all 3D benchmarks we ran, we see that this board is capable of scoring a new number one value. When taking the average of all 2D results, this board is achieving good seventh position. The performance of this board is really good and especially in case of 3D performance, Gigabyte did an excellent job. On another note, we had a look at power consumption and noticed that this board is about average. The slightly higher power consumption can be credited to the sheer amount of features on this motherboard. | -

BIOS | + | - | |
As you might have expected from Gigabyte, you get an excellent BIOS which offers not only a boatload of tuning and tweaking options but is also very easy to use. Especially with the entry screen with which Gigabyte is trying and also succeeding to add elements which make the BIOS much easier to use for unexperienced users as well. | - Sheer amount of

Recommendation | + | - | |
With the Z97X-SOC Force, Gigabyte has a worthy successor for the Z87X-OC in its portfolio. Like its predecessor this board comes with lots of features as well as an attractive price point. For 181 Euro you get everything you need for overclocking and also gamers, enthusiasts as well as modders will be happy with this product. It is only the M.2 slot we are missing with this motherboard. | -
