Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH Review
PC Mark

PC Mark Vantage
PC Mark Vantage gives a bit of cause for concern. We see the same middling memory results that we saw in AIDA64, and the Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH ends up with one of most disappointing gaming scores we've seen. Curiously when compared to the rest of the models on test we see the actual PC Mark result being just a shade behind the better motherboards we've benchmarked. Maybe the Catalyst 12.6 drivers don't perform as well here as the 12.3s.
PC Mark 7
The ship steadies with the latest version of PC Mark. The UP4 is there or thereabouts when at stock, and the overclocked score reflects the slightly lessened clockspeed we were able to obtain.

I'm curious are the heatsinks one solid piece or can you remove the grey and blue strips a separate part of metal and if so how are they connected. It would be awesome if you could take them off and paint the grey strips yourself yourself.
Are there any plans to review the UP5 TH?
Thanks for the review Bryan!
I am seriously considering buying this board; however, I am little concerned about the height of the heat sinks that surround the CPU socket.
I have bought a Thermalright Archon SB-E and due its’ 155mm length, it will overhang / foul the very top heat sink.
The clearance from between the base of the cooler to the first fin is 42.55mm. Does anyone know the height of the top two heat sinks on the board?
Does the Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E used in the review overhang the heat sinks (length 147mm)? If so, I might be in the clear because the Silver Arrow SB-E has a height of 40.87mm.
Any reply would be very much appreciated!
