Product Info

Gigabyte's Z97X-SOC OC Motherboard Continues To Lead

feature

featureFollowing the success of the GIGABYTE Z87X-OC motherboard, which was the #1 most often overclocked motherboard (on hwbot.org) in 2013, GIGABYTE has unleashed this new Z97 based overclocking motherboard; the Z97X-SOC.

With a host of unique OC features and bleeding-edge hardware design where no possible advantage is left on the table, GIGABYTE 9 series overclocking motherboards will allow even novice users to Overclock Like a Pro.

Features

  • Runs 4th and 5th Gen Intel® Core™ CPUs, like newer Haswell Refresh CPUs
  • 2, 3 and 4-Way AMD® CrossFire™ technology
  • 2-Way NVIDIA® SLI™ technology
  • SATA Express support for 10 Gb/s data transfer
  • Exclusive GIGABYTE OC Features
  • Intel GbE LAN with CFOS internet accelerator software
  • 2x Copper PCB Design
  • Realtek ALC1150 115dB SNR HD Audio with Built-in rear audio amplifier
  • New Heatsink design with 8 onboard fan connectors
  • lifespan Durable Black Solid caps
  • Center including EasyTune™ and Cloud Station™ utilities
  • GIGABYTE UEFI DualBIOS™

OC Ignition

feature

OC Ignition maintains power to the motherboard and connected components while the system is shut down. This means that system fans will continue to provide airflow in cold bug situations, while i-ram drive users will not lose installed data. OC Ignition also allows users to pre-test water cooling setups, and allows case mod demonstrations without having to turn on the PC.

  • Fans continue to provide airflow in cold bug situations
  • Perfect for pre-testing water-cooled system setups
  • Case mod demonstrations without having to turn on the PC
  • Retains i-ram data
  • OC DIMM and OC PCIe Switch

OC DIMM and OC PCIe Switch

featureOC DIMM Switch
Manually turn on or off each channel of installed memory DIMMs, allowing users to effortlessly disable memory DIMMs from the system without the hassle of physically removing.

OC PCIe Switch:
Overclockers can manually turn on or off each installed PCIe lane of the motherboard, allowing users to disable individual graphics cards without physically removing. This is especially useful when overclocking on LN2 and water cooled systems.

OC Touch

feature

GIGABYTE OC Touch includes a range of hardware overclocking buttons directly on the motherboard, making overclocking on the fly extremely fast and easy.

featurePremium Graphics Support

GIGABYTE 9 series overclocking motherboards feature optimized support for AMD CrossFire™ in 4 way configuration 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® Z97 PCH.

feature

OC PEG

feature

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.

featureOC Connect

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; accessing the rear panel I/O can be an inconvenience, but not on this Motherboard.

SATA Express Connector

featureGIGABYTE motherboards feature an onboard SATA Express connector which provides performance far superior to that of current SATA technologies. SATA Express features data transfer rates of up to 10Gb/s, considerably higher than SATA Revision 3 (6Gb/s), which won't bottleneck faster NAND flash technologies in cutting edge SSDs.

SATA Express combines the benefits of PCI-Express and SATA to provide much higher bandwidth, allowing SATA Express based drives to perform at similar speeds as PCI-Express based drives.

feature

Realtek ALC 1150 115dB SNR HD Audio

featureThe ALC1150 is a high-performance multi-channel High Definition Audio Codec that delivers an exceptional audio listening experience with up to 115dB SNR, ensuring users get the best possible audio quality from their PC.

The ALC1150 provides ten DAC channels that simultaneously support 7.1-channel sound playback, plus 2 channels of independent stereo sound output (multiple streaming) through the front panel stereo outputs.

Two stereo ADCs are integrated and can support a microphone array with Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Beam Forming (BF), and Noise Suppression (NS) technologies.

The ALC1150 incorporates Realtek proprietary converter technology to achieve Front differential output 115dB Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) playback (DAC) quality and 104dB SNR recording (ADC) quality.

featureBuild-in Rear Audio Amplifier

Specially designed for gamers, GIGABYTE 9 series Ultra Durable™ motherboards utilize a high-capacity amplifier which is able to drive 600Ω loads used by many popular headsets. This 600Ω load feature gives gamers a fuller range of dynamic sound with crisper details and less distortion when using high quality professional headphones to hear the most accurate music, sound effects and explosions.

featureIntel® Gigabit LAN

Intel® Gigabit LAN networking, a popular choice with gamers, delivers several performance-enhancing features such as advanced interrupt handling to help reduce CPU overhead and Jumbo Frame support for extra large data packets.

All IR® Digital CPU Power Design

GIGABYTE 9 series overclocking motherboards use an all digital CPU power design from International Rectifier® which include both digital PWM Controller and industry-leading PowIRstage™ controllers. These 100% digital controllers offer incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboard's most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, allowing enthusiasts to get the absolute maximum performance from their next generation Intel® Core™ processors.

feature

Other OC Features:

  • OPT Fan Support for optional Liquid Coolers
  • 10K Durable Black™ Solid Caps
  • 5x (15μ) Gold Plated CPU Socket Design
  • App Center Apps, including EasyTune™ and Cloud Station™
  • UEFI DualBIOS™ with Dashboard Mode
  • 2x Copper PCB Design (2 oz Copper PCB)

4K Ultra HD Support
feature4K resolution is the next technological milestone in high-definition content delivery, utilizing approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than four times today's standard HD pixel density. GIGABYTE motherboards provide native 4K support with integrated Intel® HD Graphics via HDMI.
