Cinebench
In the always fun-to-watch Cinebench the UP4 neatly follows the glut of other Z77 motherboards we've tested. A percentile point here and there is within error tolerance, although at the very top end it isn't quite up there with the finest.
POV-Ray
The freeware raytracer POV-Ray continues this theme, with the Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH being right on the money, if not able to replicate some of the more dizzying scores we've seen.

and for the £££££'s this fairs well
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!
