GIGABYTE 8 Series Overclocking Motherboards: Clock Higher
GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards debut a number of exclusive new and improved features that are designed specifically to help enthusiasts and overclockers not only get the most performance from their hardware, but also the absolute most enjoyable OC experience.

GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Force
The GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Force delivers a sublime OC experience without compromising on features. Supporting maxed-out 4-way SLI and Crossfire™ graphics configurations and an incredible 16 digital phase VRM for the CPU and memory, the GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Force is truly peerless and utterly ruthless.

OC Ignition (Patent Pending)
There are occasions as an overclocker when you want to shut down the system without turning off the power to other parts of the system, for example the drives and system fans. This is where OC Ignition is really useful. Hitting the OC Ignition button gives continuous, uninterrupted power to all the motherboard's connected drives and system fans, but not to the CPU. This is useful in 'cold bug' situations when you need to heat the CPU to a bootable temperature, but you'd prefer the fans to keep spinning, reducing moisture build-up. Overclockers using i-ram drives may also want to maintain SATA power and not risk losing their customized OS install while users with regular SSDs or HDDs also know that frequent powering on and off is harmful to your drives in the long-term. OC Ignition is also useful in allowing users to pre-test water cooling setups, and even allows case mod demos to be developed without having to fully turn on the PC.

OC Touch
GIGABYTE OC Touch includes a range of easy to use buttons and switches featured exclusively on GIGABYTE OC motherboards.

OC Cool
The GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Force Motherboard features an extreme heatsink design for the PWM area that allows users to employ both passive, active and water cooling setups. A hollow body heatsink fitted with a silent integrated fan ensures superb heat dissipation during extreme overclocking configurations.

Wi-Fi / Bluetooth 4.0 PCIe Expansion Card
Supports the latest IEEE 802.11 a / b / g / n Wi-Fi connectivity, plus Bluetooth 4.0 and the latest Smart Ready technology.

Front Access USB 3.0 Panel
A convenient front access USB 3.0 panel provides two USB 3.0 ports for quick and easy access to ultra-fast and reliable data transfer performance.
Extreme Multi-GPU Support

Extreme Multi-GPU Support
Premium 4-way Graphics Support. This extreme design employs a PLX chip that doubles the available PCI Express bandwidth, allowing overclockers and gamers to enjoy the ultimate in extreme multi-GPU configurations; 4-way AMD CrossFire™ and NVIDIA SLI.
Native PCIe Gen. 3 x16 Direct Link to CPU. The single black PCIe x16 slot provides a direct link to the CPU, enabling it to bypass the PLX chip. This provides the fastest possible connection for single graphics card benching.

GIGABYTE Exclusive Ultra Durable Technologies
Durable Black Solid Caps. GIGABYTE 8 Series motherboards integrate the absolute best quality solid state capacitors that are rated to perform at maximum efficiency for extended periods, even in extreme performance configurations. This provides peace of mind for end users who want to push their system hard, yet demand absolute reliability and stability. With ultra-low ESR no matter how high the CPU loading, these exclusive capacitors also come in customized jet black, exclusively on GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards.

Gold Plated Solid Power Connectors
GIGABYTE Overclocking motherboards feature gold plated connectors for the CPU and 24-pin ATX power connectors. Gold provides superior conductivity and signal transmission than standard implementations, also providing far better reliability and stability over time by resistance to metal corrosion caused by frequent use overtime.

Gold Plated CPU Socket, DDR and PCI Express Slots
GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards come equipped with gold plated hardware for the most crucial areas where your motherboard has contact with other components; gold plated CPU socket, gold DDR3 slots and PCI Express slots. Using gold plated CPU socket and slots means that enthusiasts are guaranteed absolute reliability and longevity for the CPU, memory and graphics cards, no matter how many times you switch them out.

GIGABYTE EasyTune
Now integrated with the GIGABYTE App Center, a re-designed and updated EasyTune app offers a simple and easy-to-use interface that allows users to fine-tune their system settings. Adjust system and memory clocks and voltages in a Windows environment with system-related information displayed including advanced system fan calibration and configuration.
