Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7 Motherboard Review

Luke Hill October 16, 2015 Featured Announcement, Motherboard

We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7 motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.8GHz and memory speed was maintained at 3200MHz.

As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from three other Z170 motherboards. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with each board was a 4800MHz (48 x 100MHz) processor frequency and 3200MHz CL16 memory speed.

‘Cancelled’ Xbox games might see the light of day after all according to ‘insider’

2026 is a year of great change at Xbox, with the appointment of CEO Asha Sharma ushering in new strategies, a change in direction and a ‘reset’ of sorts. Unfortunately, part of this plan seems to include the closure of many different first party studios. While officially, we still do not know exactly what’s in store, insiders have claimed that Microsoft is hoping to still release all of its previously-announced games in one form or another.

    Bought it and am loving it. The one complaint I have is that the mouse lags like hell in UEFI. I haven’t tried a different mouse with it yet though (currently using Cougar 550M). The SB audio is superb.
