GIGABYTE has a new Z77X-UD4H board coming out next week and it’s a bit of a RAM clocker some might say Winking smile.

HiCookie just posted the Intel Z77 world record frequency and highest clock on any Intel platform to date. The rig was running dual channel at 3353.8MHz with G.Skill TridentX modules and GIGABYTE Z77X-UD4H. Score was validated at HWBOT and CPUz website.

Christian Ney still holds the overall global ram frequency world record on GIGABYTE A75-UD4H.

Correction: Some keen-eyed members over at HWBOT let us know that there was a higher RAM frequency on Intel platform that does not seem to be on HWBOT database done by blue ant on GIGABYTE P55-UD6. Here is that score for reference. Trouble we have sometimes is referencing all the scores and HWBOT tends to be the website to go to for anything and everything OC related and still will be. The Z77 based score is nonetheless impressive and once again highlights GIGABYTE’s ability to take RAM OC world records no matter the platform whether Intel or AMD chipset, old or new!

Our buddy Sin0822 actually posted this video a few weeks ago, but nevertheless, it’s probably the most comprehensive tour of our flagship Z77X-UP7 motherboard that you will ever see, examining pretty much every component on the board in true Sin0822 style.Well worth a look people.

OCstation guys from Thailand put a hilarious photo of their new air cooler on facebook today. You can check it out here.

No sure if CPU cooler or skyscraper Open-mouthed smile. Looks fantastic though!

It reminds me of that Crocodile Dundee movie when he pulls out his knife and tells the NYC gangers the infamous line: “That’s not a knife, that’s a knife”

TeamAU just put some big overclocking scores to place them into 4th spot in professional OC league on HWBOT. The motherboard of choice was GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 with GIGABYTE 580SOC and 7970OC graphics cards.

Youngpro made a few comments in score submissions in regards to UP7, he was pretty happy with its performance and stability.

You can check out all the scores at hwbot.org or Team.AU profile.

AMD Trinity is on our doorsteps and there will no doubt be plenty of people looking around for the best tuning software around. Well your prayers have been answered already and the man to thank is The Stilt from Finland. Lovely chap and very knowledgeable when it comes to AMD in general.

Interface is in a fairly rudimentary form but functionality is pretty sweet. Here is what it looks like and supports a bunch of boards already including the usual suspects...

- GIGABYTE GA-F2A85X-D3H
- GIGABYTE GA-F2A85X-UP4
- ASUS F2A85-M Pro
- ASUS F2A85-V Pro
- MSI A85X-GD65

Btw that F2A85X-UP4 has Ultra Durable 5. Pretty cool board.

We reported about a new world record SniperOz from TeamAU took for the single GPU in 3DMARK11. He was beaten by a handful of points by sofos1990 from Greece to up the stakes from an intense weekend of benching with the new driver. Sofos1990 writes that he switched from an Asus mainboard (17406 score link) to GIGABYTE (17886 score link) to be able to achieve the score saying GIGABYTE was faster in 3DMARK11.

Next time you’re benching 3D, give GIGABYTE Z77 boards a try. The “UP Series” of boards, like UP5 used in this score, sport a 60Amp MOSFET/CHOKE combination (called a power stage), capable of delivering the highest current (rated at 60A)and staying stable at big clocks. The Physics score is a multithreaded CPU test in 3DMARK11 in case you were not aware, so it relies heavily on CPU overclocking and performance. UP stands for Ultra Durable 5, you can read more about it over here!

Something tells me this battle between SniperOz of TeamAU and sofos1990 from HWBox Hellas OC Team isn't over yet! We’ll keep an eye on it.

Congrats Sofos!

In the last few weeks, the GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 motherboard has started collecting accolades of the highest order. It’s been  Editors Choice and it’s been awarded Gold. Today however, it has arguably gone one step further, claiming the highly sought after and prestigious Diamond award from UK reviewers at HardwareHeaven.

Reviewer Stuart Davidson took a good hard look at our flagship Z77 board, and basically could not find a place where it skipped a beat. Here’s a sample of what Stu had to say:

“…overclocking was also impressive on the UP7 allowing us to exceed our previous maximum overclock for our i7-3770K on liquid cooling. Dual GPU scaling also worked well and the various voltage read points and onboard switches/buttons will make life easier for the enthusiast.

A class leading Z77 board from Gigabyte which offers a great level of performance in all areas backed by impressive build quality and features. One of only a handful of products to win our Diamond Award.”
