We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.5GHz and memory speed was 2400MHz.
As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from two other Z97 motherboards. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with each board was a 4500MHz (45 x 100MHz) processor frequency and 2400MHz CL10 memory speed.
Overclocked performance is as expected; Gigabyte's Z97X-UD5H-BK is happy to trade blows with competing motherboards. There are no score differentials which highlight any cause for concern.
big fan of gigabyte boards – this is a great looking mobo, good spec, good bios and pricing. I might aim a little higher up the Gigabyte food chain this time though – waiting on some of the higher end board reviews when K is out
Want to see a review of their sniper board
These Gigabyte Black Editons are a scam. They have the same specs as their UD5H boards but you end up paying 20% more for just a black heatsink and a burn-in test? I expect that a product works even without a factory burn-in test Save yourself 20% and get the normal UD5H.
Z97 looks more like a refresh product from the Z87. Except from the Sata Express support (which is a very premature technology) there is nothing really new
