Has to be Gigabyte mobo surely.

Can any of the OC guys give feedback on the, Gigabyte Z87X-D3H what does the Z87X-UD3H have over it just the Display port and the headphone amp?

The comparison chart is now listing socket 1150 boards, so heres a side by side comparison,

But that doesnt go into the deeper detail, below are the product pages.

There are a few differences I can see such as the capacitors used, the UD3H uses these - http://www.chemi-con.co.jp/e/tech_topics/pdf/new_cp_201304.pdf

Heatsink design and something about accelerated internet?

So im guessing the difference between the Z87X-UD3H & Z87X-UD4H is just the type of capacitors used as well then? as i cant see any difference in the spec and they look almost identical, bar colour scheme and slightly different heatsinks??

You will need to look through the product pages at Gigabytes website to check for differences, but there could also be differences in the number of power phases used, I think I read at overclock.net that the UD4H was 16 power phases, perhaps the UD3H is 8, cant really remember.

Ok thanks. In dumb arse terms what does that mean?....for OC for example? That said it looks like temp is going to be the brickwall for OC potential here not the actual mobo??

It should mean that the UD4H should go higher.

But saying that I also think I read that the Z87X-OC only had 8 power phases, but these were the very high end IR3550 as used on previous X79/Z77 UP range of boards that can deliver 60A each, while some boards use a lesser rated power phases only rated at 30A each, but have more off them.

I got £3000 but I ain't buying any of haswell. Cos haswell is no point to upgrade from my sandybridge! ;)

Can I have the £3000 to buy a car with then please? if you aren't using it? :D

I can take it by bank transfer, or in cash. I don't mind.

I'll even buy you a crate of beer as a thanks for the nice gesture. :)
 
Looking at a build right now!

Can someone confirm i don't have to buy a whole new PSU specific for haswell and its just a matter of switching a setting off in UEFI?
