** New Gigabyte boards coming soon! **

Seen that but unfortunately I need to be able to utilise a GTX680, soundcard, and a WIFI card in there without the GTX680 running at 8x as that board will do AFAIK once the lanes are populated.

PCI-E3 at x8 is plenty fast enough for a 680, thats if it does revert to x8 anyway, im guessing you could probably force x16 in bios if you so wished.

Didn't know that, especially being able to possibly force the x16, will it have a detrimental effect on the system/motherboard?

Thanks.
 
Love them colours on the Gigabyte Z77X-UP7, I would buy it, but only had this PC less than a year :(
 
Pre-ordered the UP7 :D

That just means I'll have to get the 3770k, memory, cpu cooler and the crucial 512gb ssd..........Why do I do this to myself :(
