GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd., today launched their
latest overclocking powerhouse Z77X-UP7 motherboard, featuring the industry’s
most robust 32+3+2 power design with Ultra Durable™ 5 high current
capable components including 60A rated IR3550 PowIRstages® chips
from IR.
“With the Z77X-UP7 and its 32+3+2
power phase design featuring Ultra Durable 5 technology, we have created the
very best CPU power design of any motherboard available today,” commented
HiCookie, GIGABYTE In-house Overclocking Expert. “Not only does this help
extreme overclockers to reach 7GHz+ on their Intel® Core™
i7-3770K CPUs and take down benchmark records, but it also provides System
Integrators with a platform cool and stable enough to withstand the rigors of
an always-on, overclocked water cooled system for their customers.”
Industry Leading 32+3+2 Phase CPU Power Design
The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 motherboard delivers a serious amount of power through its 32+3+2 power phase design (32 CPU phases, 3 Intel® HD Graphics, 2 VTT phases). With the industry’s highest phase count, the Z77X-UP7 motherboard is able to share the workload between 32 phases, ensuring lower working temperatures and maximum CPU power delivery.
Ultra
Durable™ 5
Featuring the award winning GIGABYTE
Ultra Durable™ 5 technology with high current capable components including 60A
rated PowIRstages® from IR, the Z77X-UP7 is able to deliver an astonishing
2,000W of power and at the same time, operate at remarkably low temperatures.
This means that even overclocked, water cooled Z77X-UP7 systems are able to
provide remarkable levels of performance.
True
All Digital PWM Design
The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 motherboard
takes advantage of an exclusive All Digital Engine to deliver maximum power to
3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors. Using entirely digital controllers
means that more precise power delivery to the motherboard’s most power hungry
and energy sensitive components is possible.
4-way
Graphics
The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 delivers the
industry’s most scalable graphics platform, with support for both 4-way ATI
CrossfireX™ and Nvidia SLI™. Providing PCI Express 3.0 x8 connectivity on 4
slots, the Z77X-UP7 delivers ultra smooth 3D rendering, blazing-fast frame
rates and enhanced graphics capabilities for users wanting to get the highest
levels of graphics performance from their system.
Native PCIe Gen. 3 x16 Direct Link to CPU
The Single black PCI Express x16 slot provides a direct
link to the CPU, enabling it to bypass the PLX chip. This provides the fastest
possible connection for single graphics card benching.
OC BIOS
Featuring 3D BIOS
GIGABYTE has completely re-drawn the
traditional BIOS experience, providing mainstream and enthusiast users with an exclusive
in-house designed UEFI BIOS. Featuring a superior graphical interface capable
of 32-bit color imaging and fluid user-friendly mouse navigation, GIGABYTE 3D mode allows novice or casual users to more
clearly understand the areas of the motherboard that are being affected through
the BIOS settings, gaining a clearer understanding of the BIOS functionality. Advanced Mode provides a more comprehensive
UEFI BIOS environment that is designed specifically for overclockers and power
users who want maximum control over their PC’s hardware.
BIOS
Switcher
With onboard BIOS Switcher, users can
manually select which BIOS chip to use (Main BIOS or Backup BIOS), allowing
them to select one BIOS for normal use, and the other specifically for
overclocking. Users can also easily compare two different BIOS versions, a very
useful feature when users want to update to a new BIOS, but don’t want to lose
their original settings.
DualBIOS™
Disable Switch
Using the onboard DualBIOS™ Disable
Switch, users can disable the DualBIOS™ recovery feature, helping to save time
between failed overclocks.
OC
Touch
OC-Touch enables overclockers to
quickly and easily get the best performance from their system. Onboard OC-Touch
buttons allow overclockers to manually adjust the CPU ratio, BCLK settings as
well as adjustments to the BCLK stepping ratio, to either 1MHz or 0.3MHz
increments. These changes can be made in real-time, whether in BIOS, DOS, or
Windows® without the need for rebooting, so that users can quickly
fine-tune their system and find their CPU’s maximum frequency. Onboard voltage
measurement modules are also included to help users to conveniently monitor
individual component voltages and onboard LN2 Mode
switch allows users to quickly drop CPU frequency to x16 multiplier during
extreme overclocking so that opening benching applications such as CPU-Z will
not cause the overclock to fail.
Thin Fin Cooling Design
GIGABYTE has created a new “Thin Fin”
heatsink design featuring the GIGABTYE signature OC Orange look and feel.
Featuring ultra thin metal fins, the heatsink provides greater surface area so
that quicker heat exchange can occur.
