MOAR gigabyte boards, yes even more

[brownninja97]

My father is screaming at me to sleep so i cant write about these write now, if possible ill write the rest on my phone or when i get up tomorrow.

 

This is a continuation of this thread thanks to whitestig

 

 

This is the Z*7 black edition, im not sure what the fussed out character could be #twobetterthanone maybe?

 

 

Once again the OC force, just me or the heatsinks have lost a lot of their size.

 

This is the UD7 which i always get confused about, between the sniper and this and the oc force, they are pretty similar, maybe that will change with this iteration.

Am i the only one that misses the goldcap on the soundcards, they looked size but alas now they are gone. gg and goodnight people.

luv how they cover the 9 number

The boards are okay looking, but I still like the ASUS lineup better.

I love the OC Force series boards, too bad I can't afford them...

[Common_Courtesy]

Thank god for that black edition, we've been waiting too long for another all black motherboard. That being said the yellow line on the heat sinks is kinda ugly.

I like the almost Black Edition the most.

[Glenwing]

Everyone keeps making Black Editions, but for some reason just can't restrain themselves from putting some kind of bright color on it somewhere, first ASUS with their red accents, NVIDIA with their bright green branding on the Titan Black (otherwise all black and silver), and now Gigabyte... I mean, how hard is it, really?

 

If you absolutely have to put some kind of accent, the only things acceptable to me are gunmetal or silver (and even then only a little here and there).  I'd really like a matte black board with gunmetal caps and chokes, and black heatsinks with silver trim.  And a rear I/O cover, while I'm dreaming.

 

This one really is an odd board all-around... (dat red power button... still, lol).  It's got SATA Express and M.2 SSD support... along with two legacy PCI slots  :huh: and only one USB 3.0 header.  And VGA.

These are actually really nice, but also familiar. Good job.

Look good, not as good as the current boards though  z87x-ud3h looks GOOD!  

[That Norwegian Guy]

OC Force is the only one with a usable PCIe layout, and the only one with no SATA Express. As usual Gigabyte drops the ball. NEXT!

 

Never mind, it claims to have SATA Express, will be one to watch out for for me, maybe even the first Gigabyte board I get.

Still don't understand the orange/black color scheme unless you plan to put your pc in a jack'o'lantern. How about we stop abusing the black+every color in existence scheme. Make the pcb a different color like white or blue or red. Hell, a hot pink pcb would even be acceptable. You know what? Make a high-end hot pink motherboard. I would buy the f**k out of it purely for the lulz, atleast it would be original.

I totally agree, the z87 line up looks waaay better, they seem cleaner, these boards look a little jaggy, its like going back a few generations when the size of everything mattered more then the appearance.

[Kamina]

Not really feeling these boards. The look of them just reminds me of a car dealership.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[AstroZombie1]

Would prefer the black edition with red trim.

 new 9 series mobo's have not been all that great so far. All the asus one's are either far too gold, or far too powerangers. And now the gigabyte ones are contradictory.  

Why are so many black additions not actually black?    

[Rageodontist]

they look great! little strange about the size of the OC Force heatsink though.
