If you’re in Sydney (Australia) and love your tech, there’s only one place to be this weekend and that’s EB Games Expo! Battlefield4 is launching with EA stand overflowing with GIGABYTE powered PCs. TeamAU is also going to be showing off GIGABYTE’s latest technology with a liquid nitrogen show. Gaming PCs and laptops will also be on display. If you are visiting make sure you drop by GIGABYTE booth in the Home Grown Gaming area next to the main stage!
Here’s what TeamAU has cooking for the show
I know it’s the second time this week that I’m plugging a Tiny ‘Tom’ Logan video, but to be honest I just can’t get enough of this guy. Cracks me up no end. Today’s video involves our very first AMD platform G1.Killer gaming board, the G1.Sniper A88X motherboard. Tom doesn’t attempt a full (epic 30 mins?!) vid here, it’s more of a preview or first look, but as you’d expect, Tom covers all the features and technologies and gives you a really good overview of a one of our most eagerly anticipated boards.
Yesterday we officially announced the winners of our ‘Pi is Returned’ contest on HWBOT.org. We had $5,000 USD up for grabs with four stages centered on the classic Super Pi benchmark. As my buddy Dino has posted a few times already, the contest inspired a few overclockers to break couple of AMD world records – in fact several records were repeatedly smashed on the finale weekend alone.
Here are the final standings including, nationality, scores and winnings.
Group A - FM1/2 (Llano/Trinity/Richland)
Group B – AM3+ (Bulldozer/Piledriver)
A big thanks to all who took part in the contest. Great to see so many records busted using GIGABYTE motherboards.
You can find the full standings and scores at the ‘Pi is Returned’ contest page here on HWBOT.org
Here’s another cool video from Tiny ‘Tom’ Logan at Overclock3D.net in the UK. This time he’s breaking down exactly why he awarded our GIGABYTE Z87X-UD4H motherboard Gold, highlighting the wickedly attractive yet subtle red finish on the heatsinks and our automatic yet ruthless load line calibration implementation.
You can catch the full written review complete with benchmarks and in-depth analysis here.
More details about our Z87X-UD4H motherboard over here.
TeamAU guys visited ReSpawn LAN over the weekend to put on a demonstration of GIGABYTE and Intel X79 + Ivy Bridge E (4960X) and also the ever so popular Z87X-OC + 4770K. They showed off the multithreading power of new Intel Ivy Bridge E CPUs and on second day decided to do some world record benching attempts and it proved successful.
Dinos22, Youngpro and SniperOz from the team in attendance over the weekend put together a couple of impressive scores. One was #5 3DMARK01 and second was #1 3DMARK06. For more info on the team and photo gallery visit the team’s facebook page.

http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/
The website states:
As we’ve been working on bringing Steam to the living room, we’ve come to the conclusion that the
environment best suited to delivering value to customers is an operating system built around Steam itself.
SteamOS combines the rock-solid architecture of Linux with a gaming experience built for the big screen.
It will be available soon as a free stand-alone operating system for living room machines.
This is a development that has been some time in the making I must say. With various console platforms around, some console based gamers have been saying that the key area where they prefer console over PC is in fact it’s in their living room, connected to their big LCD TV. This is what Steam seems to be looking to cover to bridge that gap.
Nvidia is also talking up 4K gaming and we all know that PCs are now significantly more powerful than consoles already and this will be a lot more evident when we start seeing mass produced/sold 4K TVs. PC PowerPlay article in Australia has an interesting read about state of things to come courtesy of Tony Tomasi’s thoughts in a recent interview. These 4K TVs have already been on sale in some countries for a while and the economies of scale will no doubt see the price lower into acceptable levels for ordinary people to be able to afford one. There are already 50” 4K TVs on sale in USA for $1500! PC GPUs in a living room PC look like the perfect fit for this new resolution standard.
Interesting times ahead! Time for all component manufacturers to thing about small and quiet high powered living room design PCs I think.
Hi guys,
We’ve just come across a YouTube video from GGF LAN guys reviewing the new GIGABYTE Z87X-UD3H. Stuart was particularly impressed with the UEFI bios and spent most of the review discussing it in detail. You should check it out!
What an incredible weekend of overclocking we just had. If there ever was a need for some professional shoutcasting that can run over the weekend, this was the right time as this competition had more twists and turns than a hundred German pretzels! For those of you unaware of the competition let me first introduce it for you.
HWBOT hosted the competition based on AMD A & FX series platforms with up to $5000 cash prizes from GIGABYE & AMD. The main benchmark was a system benchmark, SuperPi, which calculates Pi to 1 million and 32 million digits. I’ve just grabbed all the math nerd attentions in one sentence right?!? 
The stages had SuperPi 1M & 32M on both platforms with $500 top prize with a bonus $500 if the overclocker takes the platform world record. Did world records get taken, oh yes. Are all bonus cash prizes reached including bonus rounds, YES. It gets crazier, on some categories even 10th spot could have won the extra $500 cash prize as world records kept tumbling from day 1 literally!
The whole month during this competition saw overclocking upping the new record mark until The Stilt from Finland dropped a bombshell on the last day taking out all 4 categories. It looked impossible to beat but beaten it did get in FM2 categories by an impressive overclock from DFORDOG from China reaching an incredible 7869MHz 1M SuperPi on A10-6800K and GIGABYTE F2A85X-UP4 and Wizerty from France edging out The Stilt in SuperPi round by the merest of margins taking home $1K each for their effort.
The Stilt was unbeaten with the 990FXA-UD7 and FX9370 clocking at a monster 8160MHz 1M and 7876MHz 32M to take out $2K in prizes for those two scores with help of $500 bonus world records for each category win!
Congratulations to all!
Colin and the gang from the US office headed to San Francisco earlier this week to attend IDF 2013. By the looks of things he ran into our buddies from TweakTown who were keen to get an early look at a few of the newer boards were showcasesing at the event, including the newly launched Z87X-UD5 TH board plus the forthcoming Z87X-UD7 TH – both featuring dual Thunderbolt ports.
Check out the video below and you’ll also get a sneak preview of our forthcoming G1-Killer G1. Assassin 3 motherboard which is based on the X79 platform and boasts a plethora of new audio features including USB DAC-UP and upgradable OP-Amps.
I’ve noticed a whole bunch of different scores this weekend with some impressive overclocks and scores using GIGABYTE’s AMD and Intel based platforms.
One of the coolest records to come out of this weekend is I.nfraR.ed’s Fastest AMD SuperPI 1M Score Ever During GIGABYTE "Pi Is Returned" Contest as reported by HWBOT. This Bulgarian OC virtuoso has managed to clock this FX-8350 CPU to a cool 7907MHz 1M SuperPi using GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD3 motherboard.
For those of you keen to follow this contest, check it out over at HWBOT. i.nfraR.ed is currently leading the competition ahead of ivanov from Poland and Radi from France. Radi has put up a monster score with the F2A85X-UP4 and AMD A10-6800K running at 7.5GHz to lead that stage. He is also eligible for the world record $ prize with this score. Let’s see what the next week brings!
I’ve also noticed that Christian Ney and OCAHolic guys have been busy bees SMASHING the latest PCMARK7 world record by some margin on the GIGABYTE Z87X-OC board and GTX780OCv2 GPU. Well done there guys, very cool!
Last but not least is a pretty sweet overclock from TeamAU’s latest member, Jack (aka JJJC), who is currently preparing for MOA 2013 competition and testing his favourite benching board GIGABYTE Z87X-OC with a competition GPU and reaching #4 fastest global 3DMARK05 reaching a whopping 70,626points. Good luck at MOA Jack! You can check out all the scores from TeamAU guys on their facebook page.
A week or so ago our German team held an extreme overclocking competition at the University of Heilbronn. Focused heavily on the new Haswell platform, key movers and shakers from HWBOT that are based in Germany we in attendance. Check out the video below, there’s a good chance you’ll spot a few familiar faces having fun.
SniperOz from TeamAU moves into #3 spot in HWBOT OC League (i.e. non-sponsored extreme OC league that use retail hardware) with a some monster scores using a GIGABYTE Z87X-OC and GTX Titan. Most impressive scores were single card world records in Unigine Heaven DX11 Extreme Preset and 3DMARK03 achieved last week.
Awesome work there Sniper, keep pushing mate!
