Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7 Owners Thread.

You need to have the app center installed to use any of the others.

I used SIV sometimes to check the temps etc, And Easytune for windows based overclocking as per the video in the opening post.

Thats about it, I think I used the ambient LED app once to change the colour of the LED but you can do that in BIOS.


Oh and you might find ON/OFF charge useful.
 
Phanteks case usually have a simple fan control board on the back that takes power from PSU and sends it to the case fans, then there is a cable from it that you attach to say a system fan header for control/rpm sensing.
 
Yeah it says I need to connect pwm to the CPU fan. But that's taken otherwise the fans will run at full speed which they are doing at the min. So I am wondering what one I should connect the pwm hub to on this mobo
 
There is CPU OPT.

I have a Phnatkes case and the fan controller board isnt the greatest ever.

In fact, what i have done before is pull all the cables from it and stick them all to the motherboard fan headers and used the SIV calibration to control them.

Then you have quiet, standard, performance modes to pick from.
 
Was going to get a corsair h60v2 to accompany a new build with this board. Socket is LGA1151 but the cooler only supports 1150 does that mean it would fit/work?
 
Sorry one other query. See that large white plastic shield (G1 Gaming logo) that sits directly over the I/O panel. Is that entire piece taller than the height of the I/O panel. (Same size as all I/o panel plates right)?

I have a silverstone rv02-E case. There is a case fan section which I Need to exhaust and fit the radiator that sits direct above the I/O panel section, worried that the White plastic piece will rise up and not leave enough room for the fan.

The plastic does not extend beyond the I/O plate itself,

Thats almost straight on with me holding the plate roughly in place, no plastic is visible top or sides.
 
I kinda knew it was the cooler as Ive seen the same with my H110i GT.

Its thrown that error up once or twice.

But ive RMA'd my AIO as the temps were not holding stable and even at idle they were nearly 20C higher than it should be and thats with the pump and fans on Performance settings.


Try gaming etc and it couldnt keep it under control and the fluid temp would just slowly rise and rise.

But according to LINK and SIV the pump is spinning and the fans visibly are.

I do not know if the two issues are related.


So my next advice would be to open realtempGT or something and just watch the temperatures while idle/in use and see if they are where you would expect them to be.
