GA-Z87X-OC (rev. 1.x)

GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards debut a number of exclusive new and improved features that are designed specifically to help enthusiasts and overclockers not only get the most performance from their hardware, but also the absolute most enjoyable OC experience.

There are occasions as an overclocker when you want to shut down the system without turning off the power to other parts of the system, for example the drives and system fans. This is where OC Ignition is really useful.

Hitting the OC Ignition button gives continuous, uninterrupted power to all the motherboard's connected drives and system fans, but not to the CPU. This is useful in 'cold bug' situations when you need to heat the CPU to a bootable temperature, but you'd prefer the fans to keep spinning, reducing moisture build-up. Overclockers using i-ram drives may also want to maintain SATA power and not risk losing their customized OS install while users with regular SSDs or HDDs also know that frequent powering on and off is harmful to your drives in the long-term. OC Ignition is also useful in allowing users to pre-test water cooling setups, and even allows case mod demos to be developed without having to fully turn on the PC. OC Ignition: Feature Summary • Powers fans and drives without booting or powering the CPU • Active fans help to reduce moisture build-up when using LN2 • Maintain continuous uninterrupted power to drives • Safely powers water cooling systems for safe leak checking • Test demo and case mod systems without needing to boot the system

오버클로커가 메인보드에 있는 임의의 PCIe슬롯 회로를 수동으로 켜고 끌 수 있으며 또한 시스템을 통해 그래픽카드를 어렵지 않게 끌 수 있지만 실제로 그래픽카드를 제거하지 않아도 된다. 이 기능은 그래픽카드의 수냉식 및 액화질소(LN2) 오버클럭에 대해 매우 간편하다.

OC Peg adds auxiliary power to the PCIe slots of your motherboard, improving system stability in extreme configurations. This is especially useful in power-hungry 4-way graphics configurations.

OC Brace allows extreme overclockers and system testers to safely install up to four graphics cards in an open case or test bed without risking PCIe slot damage or preventing cards not showing up in the OS due to poor contact with the PCIe slot. OC Brace is a simple and elegant way to give robust installation support to full sized graphics cards in extreme multi-GPU configurations, including LN2 benching with cumbersome GPU pots that a need stable, solid installation base over extended periods.

OC Connect positions two USB connectors on the near side of the motherboard facing the overclocker. This makes it easier to save data, flash the BIOS or install software in open bench testing platforms whether for extreme overclocking or simply pretesting the PC before final component installation inside a case scenarios where accessing the rear panel IO can be an inconvenience.

GIGABYTE 메인보드의 가장 큰 특징은 cFos Speed이다. 복잡한 LAN 환경에서 더 빠르게 반응하도록 핑 시간을 낮게 유지함으로써 지체되는 네트워크를 개선한다. cFos Speed 프로그램은 OS 드라이버처럼 작동하여 어플리케이션 계층에서 네트워크 트래픽 패키지를 모니터링하여 특정 어플리케이션의 인터넷 반응속도를 개선한다

GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Premium Graphics Support - Z87X-OC: Optimized support for AMD CrossFire™ in 4 way configurations plus support for NVIDIA SLI technology in 2-way setups. This extreme design allows a more optimized multiple-card overclocking experience where the first 3 slots have the data bandwidth available from trace paths direct from the CPU and the fourth slot taking PCIe lanes from the Intel® Z87 PCH.

Many of today's 3rd party water cooling systems require CPU fan power support for both the cooling fan and the water pump. GIGABYTE 8 Series motherboards feature OPT fan support, an additional CPU fan pin header that can be used to connect a water pump and configured for continuous full speed operation. The OPT Fan is also useful for high performance coolers employing two fans.

울트라 듀러블 블랙 솔리드 커패시터 GIGABYTE 8시리즈 메인보드는 최고 품질의 솔리드 커패시터를 채택하여 컴퓨터 시스템의 익스트림한 성능이 고부하에서 장시간 작동되어도 최고의 효율과 안정성이 유지된다. 열악한 사용 환경에서도 익스트림한 성능으로 작동하고 또 신뢰성과 안정성이 매우 높은 시스템을 원하는 사용자에게 이러한 컴포넌트는 매우 안심이 되는 부분이다. GIGABYTE 8시리즈 메인보드가 채택한 블랙 솔리드 커패시터는 Ultra-low ESR이어서 CPU의 부하가 아무리 높아도 전원을 안정적으로 공급할 수 있다. “믿기 어려울 정도의 내구성이라 함은 105°C의 작동 온도에서도 10,000시간 이상 정상 작동한다는 것이다.” – Nippon Chemi-Con

GIGABYTE Overclocking motherboards feature gold plated connectors for the CPU and 24-pin ATX power connectors. Gold provides superior conductivity and signal transmission than standard implementations, also providing far better reliability and stability over time by resistance to metal corrosion caused by frequent use overtime.

GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards come equipped with gold plated hardware for the most crucial areas where your motherboard has contact with other components; gold plated CPU socket, gold DDR3 slots and PCI Express slots. Using gold plated CPU socket and slots means that enthusiasts are guaranteed absolute reliability and longevity for the CPU, memory and graphics cards, no matter how many times you switch them out.

4K 초고해상도는 고화질 동영상을 출력시키는 기술의 새로운 이정표로서 총 4000개의 픽셀 수준으로 화질을 만들어 요즘의 표준적인 Full HD 디스플레이의 4배 이상의 해상도에 버금간다. GIGABYTE 8시리즈 메인보드는 통합된 인텔®HD 그래픽과 HDMI 연결포트를 탑재하여 4K 초고해상도를 네이티브로 지원한다.

Now integrated with the GIGABYTE App Center, a re-designed and updated EasyTune app offers a simple and easy-to-use interface that allows users to fine-tune their system settings. Adjust system and memory clocks and voltages in a Windows environment with system-related information displayed including advanced system fan calibration and configuration.
