The Gigabyte Z97X-SOC FORCE delivers about as many overclocking optimized features as you could want on a motherboard. Seriously it takes me like 4 minutes to say what they all are and what they do...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Me want to watch it

[JOJOdoesgaming]

Wow well let me see linus explain it for me hehehe

Still dont like the color or the onboard oc buttons. I would rather get a ROG motherboard, where it is more software based, i dont wanna open my case everytime i need to make a chance.

I don't think it will be a useful motherboard for anyone. For those CRAZY overclockers, they would buy a higher end overclocking capable motherboard (eg vii extreme once that is out.) For norma overclockers any normal mobo at that price range is fine (eg asus z97-pro, vii hero, asrock z97 oc formula m or extreme6).

your such a tease

...But you don't need to open your case, lol.

The point of the SOC Force mobo buttons are so that you can quickly press something and reset ASAP before you waste LN2.

Processing....

Then its only ment for LN2 overclocker Waow thats a big market. I personally dont get the point of this board for gamers, normal users or non LN2  overclockers.

decision time, do i watch it in 240p or painfully wait another 20 minutes.....

This is a more dumbed down version of a UD7 board so it still has that superb quality but is supposed to be specifically for Ghz fiends. At least that's what I gather, and it's at a reduced cost because it's dumbed down.

What that means is it's pretty much at the top of the list for OCing, especially since it has added features specifically for overclocking. The quality on this is great, I doubt Asus has a much better product if at all. Do you rank boards purely on favoritism and price or what?

They have 4+ Gaming-specific motherboards, a line for non-LN2 overclockers and general PC users, and a lower-end SOC board as well that's more oriented for overclocking w/o LN2.

[Barrington]

damnit only 360p 

 

oh well "resolution is just a number"

[Exotath]

Not a bad price, but for that money I would still go with an Asus Z97 Deuluxe or WS.

 

Why aren't these boards coming with Wireless AC or Thunderbolt2?

[Createinator]

Maybe it is time to change to GIGABYTE!

I still perfere the MSI and Asus motherbaord line-up. It's more simple and direct.

Especially Asus have a great marketing department. Plus their motherboards are awesome.

You can say however instead of but sometimes.

[Silent_R493]

Is their two versions of this board? amazon has 2 listings at different prices.

 

 

Nevermind. Their is a non-Force edition.

idk man this chip i have has always been better on my Z77X-UP7 compared to my buddies Max V extreme. The ASUS boards are mostly gaming orientated while this board is for OCers. 

[SIBBER]

I just bought this board because I'm an awesome super cool pro overclocker and definitely NOT for the shallow reason that I just like orange
