Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 Review

CineBench and POV-Ray

Published: 11th October 2012 | Source: Gigabyte | Price: £310 | Author: Bryan Waters

CineBench R11.5

If PC Mark was slightly behind the lofty heights so far achieved by the UP7, then CineBench certainly puts that to rights. Both the stock and overclocked result, in both CPU and OpenGL benchmarks, are new highs for a Z77 motherboard. The UP7 is insanely capable.

POV-Ray

We see a similar state of affairs in POV-Ray. No matter how you slice it the Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 is a record breaking motherboard. All on a retail CPU remember.

Now if only they made it for X79... Like the X79-UD7, but with these new power stages. I would love it!

i am personally not a huge fan of the orange due to it not really matching any case other than the phantom nor any memory that i'm aware of other than black colored. but it still looks great and performs great.

Hi Tom,
I thought about what you said about leaving the cpu on auto ect, gave it some thought and i knew mine was on "offset" mode. i have the p67 sabertooth with a 2600k @ 4.5ghz .done via the "oc tuner" in bios. 103 frequency and 43 multiplyer i think. the voltage on cpuz shows it moves from 1.15 up to 1.36. is this okay? temps are 68 ish while running prime for 1hour with the h70.
Thanks

maxx,
welcome to the forum.
great question, but you have it buried in a review that prolly wont get answered.
you get a better response making a new thread in the Mainboard & CPU discussion
group. or using the search function where you will find many other similar questions and
answers. there are many enthusiasts there that can give you a prompt response.
and when you make you question, you'll wanna include mobo make, chip, RAM
GPU and power supply.

I'm looking to get this motherboard in my next build pretty soon.
I'm pleased to see that it got rave reviews here at
Overclock3D.
