Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 Intel Z77 Motherboard Review

Handbrake is a fantastic free program which we wanted to include to confirm findings with Media Espresso, earlier in the review. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.5 for testing today across all platforms. We encoded an DVD.MPG file.

The system completes the same task a couple of seconds faster than the same components paired up with the ASRock Z77 OC Formula.

  1. Well colour me impressed with that one.

  2. Thats a hell of a Z77 motherboard, with a price tag to match. I heard they broke a 7 ghz record with this board on LN2.

  3. Its a heck of a talking point, even if its more expensive than many of the flagship X79 boards.

    My last gigabyte motherboard was great, but I opted for ASUS this time around as I had a few issues with the bios on the gigabyte board defaulting the memory to 1333mhz on every hard post up.

  4. Bought one, but ill enter the competition too, as im greedy 🙂

  5. Thats a sublime piece of engineering. very costly, but nice to see companies pushing the boundaries.

  6. that is not a motherboard, it’s a monster-board LOL
    it must be very easy for this board to overclock a k-series sandy or ivy.. nice color theme as well but I still wish gigabyte offer something in red…

  7. This board is going on my Christmas list …
    Dear Santa…

  8. KaaaBOOMM And the song changes to Who let the dawg out, NO No its Who let the BIG DAWG BEAST OUT? So who said Christmas doesn’t come in JULY!!! hell-o income tax check lol?
