****Gigabyte X79-UP4 Review****

[Speed]

I've had many slightly bent boards, all screwed in fine. Admittedly that is an extreme example, but I suspect it worked fine. I'm also guessing the photo makes it looks worst than it is.

 

[stulid]

Was this board supplied by OcUK or have you changed over to socket 2011 from socket 1155??

Its for me.

Wanted more power.

Why dont they use all sata 3 ports these days whats the reason ?

rjk say cos it will cost more price on the board but I think it bit silly for manufacturers to charge more for extra Sata 3 ports

cost????

how is that not blindingly obvious.

of course sata3 will cost more, it entirely depends on the controller.

a marvel sata controller is much much cheaper to implement than having the sata3 controlled by intel off the chipset.

i would have thought that would be common sense.

You would think more people would use common sense, i know i do..

Great review Stulid.

Correct, I have also just sorted a 6670 in my wanted thread, so I can "dual" it up.

No problem Stulid it was an honor and Cheers Doomedspeed glad you like it.

Plus I'm really looking forward to the A10 review as I have been asked by a mate to build him a steambox

Good review! I wish all reviews had graphic content like this.

Nice review

take it back under dsr if it was bend out of the box

Why bother, if it works it works, slight bend it it won't matter. He did also state it was sometime ago, so guessing th DSR window has closed!

Then how the person be able to screw in the case if it was badly bend ? If it was me, I will sent it back, no doubt!

I've sent it back straight away, wasn't slightly.

actually the photo was making it looks less bent

Looks fantastic, what OC did you settle on with that combo in the end, and how long was it tested on prime with all the cores pegged?

4.7GHz 24/7 is what I settled on.

It will pass Prime95 forever at that simple setting.

Oh looky

An award for this monster of a board well done Gigabyte !

 

[wolvers]

To the reviewer, what's the fan control like on this board? Is it possible to set profiles separately for CPU and system fans?

Edit; also, why is it so cheap? It can't be just the lack of SATAIII ports?

 

[IRLeetly]

Another well detailed review

Board reminds me of the Borg.
