With Z77 fast approaching, we take a look at the Gigabyte Z77M-D3H to see what it has to offer.
Storms are coming when we take a look at one of Gigabyte's new boards featuring Thunderbolt; the GA-Z77-UP4 TH.
The Gigabyte Z77-HD4 supports the latest Intel Ivy Bridge processors as well as previous generation Sandy Bridge CPUs. The Gigabyte Z77-HD4 straddles the line between mainstream and entry-level segments. On one hand, the Gigabyte Z77-HD4 is priced lower than most ATX Z77 motherboards but it has flexible integrated graphics options in the form of HDMI and DisplayPort outputs in addition to the DVI and D-SUB outputs in the rear I/O. Unlike most entry-level mainboards, the Z77-HD4 carries the Ultra Durable 4 stamp from Gigabyte, meaning it is comprised of high quality components including glass-fabric PCB, solid Japanese capacitors, ESD resistant ICs and Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs. The Z77-HD4’s glass fabric PCB design protects against electrical shorts caused by humidity over time, while better components ensure higher temperature and voltage tolerances, therefore resulting in a longer lifespan for the mainboard. The Z77-HD4 also comes with dual UEFI BIOS which allows the system to recover immediately should anything happen to the main BIOS. The Gigabyte Z77-HD4 comes with a 3-year warranty.
At the beginning of May we reviewed the Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H which delivered great performance at a modest price point around £160. Today we are looking at the budget GA-Z77-D3H which retails in the UK for only £80.
At half the price is this useless for the overclockers on a tight budget, or can it be pushed past 4ghz? What about 4.5ghz? We partner the board up with a Core i7 3770k and a Thermaltake Frio Extreme cooler.
If you are still relatively young -- and by young, I mean in your late teens to early 20s -- then you should still be somewhat steamed out from "finals" week that just occurred recently (Some of us not even a day ago from when I wrote this). Personally, I can attest to disliking the December finals week quite a bit more than the April finals week, because it seems to take a lot out of the Christmas holiday anticipation. Instead of earnestly awaiting the arrival of Santa, we find ourselves cramped up in our study halls up until the 21st without even eying the awaited presents that sit snugly under our tree. Snowfall becomes a nuisance, as city transit becomes delayed much more often than it should. Before we know it, it's Thursday, December 22, 2011, 2:21AM, and I am still awake writing the Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P motherboard review introduction. Wait a second, did I just explain my situation? Well, unfortunately, yes. I am quite sure many of us have found ourselves in this position as well. And now that I think about it, Christmas Day is no more than 54 hours away, and I have yet to begin my shopping. Oh, but of course, the Gigabyte motherboard review comes first! If I had a moment's time to breathe, I would simply go through all the amazing technological developments of 2011. However, since I do not have the luxury of such a physiological need, I will sum up the entire year with a few words, letters, and numbers. Sandy Bridge, H67, P67, and lastly, Z68. So without further adieu, let us plow through the last motherboard review of the year here at APH Networks!
There are four key features that make the Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3-iSSD motherboard a real killer among Intel Z68 platforms: 1) It comes bundled with a 20GB Intel mSATA SSD for implementing Intel Smart Response Technology. 2) It has an onboard HDMI video output so users can leverage Intel's Quick Sync media transcoding acceleration by way of the Intel Z68+Intel HD 3000/2000 IGP. 3) Lucid Logix Vertu driver support makes it possible to effortlessly switch between integrated graphics for desktop work and a discrete videocard for 3D gaming. 4) The board supports two-way ATI Crossfire and two-way nVidia SLI for serious gamers who need raw FPS-cracking power!
Mit dem GA-Z68XP-UD3 zeigt Gigabyte ein interessantes Intel LGA1155 Sandy Bridge Mainboard, das einige Besonderheiten und jede Menge OC Features zu bieten hat. Das Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 basiert auf dem Intel Z68 Chipsatz und ist für LGA1155 Prozessoren wie z.B. den Intel Core i7-2700K, Intel Core i3-2100, oder den Intel Core i5-2500K ausgelegt, den wir für den Overclocking Test verwendet haben. Im aktuellen Review werden wir das Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 umfangreich testen, übertakten, mit unterschiedlichen Grafikkarten benchmarken und den Stromverbrauch vergleichen.
Nachdem wir bisher vor allem Z68 Platinen aus dem Hause ASRock getestet hatten, möchten wir uns heute eine Platine von Gigabyte näher ansehen. Genauer gesagt das GA-Z68XP-UD3.
Das Sockel 1155 Mainboard bietet zwei PEG Slots, die in einer 16x/0x oder einer 8x/8x Konfiguration beschaltet sind. Zusätzlich gibt es Unterstützung für SLI und CrossFire. Des Weiteren bietet das Board 4 SATA3 und 4 SATA2 Ports.
The Intel Z68 is a very strange chipset in that it combines the overclocking features of the P67 and graphical features of the H67 into a single chipset. They have also added some key technologies that help differentiate it from the versions and make it better at the same time.
Meet the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 motherboard, a non-integrated graphics take on the new Intel Z68 chipset. While the Intel Z68 is reknown for combining the best the Intel P67 & H67 chipsets had to offer in one platform - and let's face it, also puts the final nail in the coffin of both. Intel Smart Response Technology is a particularly neat solution that addresses the problem of Solid State Drives being too small and too costly for many people. What Intel Smart Response Technology does is bring about like-SSD performance to operating systems and applications installed on traditional mechanical SATA hard disk drives (HDD).
