Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7 Motherboard Review

Luke Hill October 16, 2015 Featured Announcement, Motherboard

We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7 motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.8GHz and memory speed was maintained at 3200MHz.

As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from three other Z170 motherboards. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with each board was a 4800MHz (48 x 100MHz) processor frequency and 3200MHz CL16 memory speed.

    Bought it and am loving it. The one complaint I have is that the mouse lags like hell in UEFI. I haven’t tried a different mouse with it yet though (currently using Cougar 550M). The SB audio is superb.
