At a private media unveiling held on the sidelines of CeBIT, GIGABYTE disclosed its next-generation flagship motherboard, the Z87X-OC. Like most socket LGA1150 motherboards unveiled this week, this one is still under development, and the company is yet to finalize color-scheme and heatsinks for the PCH and VRM, so don't judge it by its looks just yet. The Z87X-OC is designed primarily for overclockers.
The LGA1150 socket is powered by an 8-phase VRM, which draws power from a combination of 4-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS, in addition to the board's 24-pin ATX connector. To stabilize the board's various power domains, you can optionally plug in a 6-pin PCIe power connector. The board gives overclockers a high degree of physical on-the-fly voltage control, and measurement points. One of the chipset's four USB 3.0 ports are wired out as a type-A port on-board, letting you install and run your Windows 7/8 installation off a USB 3.0 flash-drive.

The LGA1150 socket on the GIGABYTE Z87X-OC is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR3 memory, and three PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots (x16/NC/NC ; x8/NC/x8 ; x8/x4/x4). The bottommost long PCIe slot appears to be electrical Gen 2.0 x4, wired to the PCH. A PCI-Express 2.0 x1, and two legacy PCI slots find room in the middle.
Connectivity includes six SATA 6 Gb/s internal ports, a total of nine USB 3.0 ports (six of which are driven by third-party controllers), HDMI and DisplayPort display outputs, 8-channel HD audio, PS/2 mouse/keyboard combo, and gigabit Ethernet. We expect the Z87X-OC to be part of the company's first wave of LGA1150 motherboards. Find more pictures at the source.

Superb blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring
ReplyDeletewriters? I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a
little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm completely confused .. Any ideas? Thank you!

My partner and I absolutely love your blog
ReplyDeleteand find almost all of your post's to be what precisely I'm looking for.
Do you offer guest writers to write content available for you?
I wouldn't mind writing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome web log!

Hey there! I understand this is somewhat off-topic
ReplyDeletebut I needed to ask. Does building a well-established
website like yours require a large amount of work? I'm completely new to blogging however I do write in my journal every day. I'd
like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and views
online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas
or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
