Gigabyte ships the G1.Sniper Z87 in a black box which features an image of the board's heatsink. An annotated image pointing out the key features is located on the packaging's rear side.
Manuals and warranty information leaflets form the supplied literature, alongside a drivers disc and case badge.
Four SATA cables, a black SLI bridge, and the IO shield form the G1.Sniper Z87 motherboard's basic bundle. Gigabyte uses an all-black SLI bridge which is very much preferred to its brown alternative.
Just ordered it from OCUK – using it for a new build in the new year. good price.
nice colour scheme, nothing I have would match it, so would be quite a change over from my asus board. Gigabyte boards t his year look the best though, no doubt about it.
Its about time these companies put more effort into the onboard audio, so good move gb.
I always really like how they put power and reset switches up close to the memory, they are a godsend when testing things.
I bought this board and its been great – rock solid at 4.4ghz, as I dont like pushing my CPU too high – they run hot. not like ivybridge.
Very well written review, looks like a winner for its price point.
Is anybody intending to buy this board in hope of connecting it to a non galvanic usb dac in order to minimize noise transfer?
Of all the reviews I’ve seen so far, I’ve not seen one that goes into depth regarding the usb dac-up feature yet seem to be concentrating on the performance of onboard sound only.
Hi guys, between this Gigabyte and the Asus Hero, which one is better choice for a gaming rig?
