Taipei, Taiwan, December, 29th 2011 – GIGABYTE TECHNOLGY Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, today announced a record highest clock speed on the Intel® Core™ i7 3930K processor, producing new Intel® Core™ i7 3930K processor records for Super Pi and PiFast benchmarks. These records were achieved using the GIGABYTE GA-X79-UD3, the first motherboard to reach a maximum possible multiplier of 57x.


Equipped with the recently issued F7 BIOS and liquid nitrogen cooling, respected overclocker Hicookie was able to reach an incredible clock speed of 5,643.3MHz (5.6GHz) on an Intel® Core™ i7 3930K processor. This record clock speed was reached using a never seen before 57x CPU multiplier configurations thanks to the F7 BIOS, producing record scores for the Super Pi 1M and 32M and PiFast benchmarks.

New World Records (inc. HWBot links)
Super Pi 1M - 6.64 seconds
Super Pi 32M – 6mins 8.516 seconds
PiFast – 13.02 seconds
CPUz – 5643.3MHz


“These new world records underline how the GIGABYTE 3-way digital power engine on existing X79 motherboards makes breathtaking performance possible on our X79 series enthusiast platforms. They should also erase any skepticism regarding the performance and overclocking capabilities of our new F7 BIOS for GIGABYTE X79 motherboards,” commented Tim Handley, Deputy Director of Motherboard Marketing at GIGABYTE.

Wow.......

Cas, in my view Gigabyte, and Evga make the best boards, wow Gigabyte really did smash

Blue

Wouldn't buy any other MoBo's. That Gigabyte Board is something else!!

Nice and looks nice.

No matter to me- you can not use that chit in real life or everyday use- not practical. They should hook them up to the best market coolers wet dry and tim and test them or it should not count other than for oddities and or bench mark junkies. Ha ha gamers are said weird?

Giga mobos have always been just ok- they have always been odd and quality was and so was oc was always so so. If better or this one board better or the best- great. I think the best mobos was all of my abit boards hands down. Asus and msi make great stuff and normally the best oc mobos- but all can have probs me guess. Asus and msi pretty much invent it all- and no other boards I know of have msi features- like say the hydra set ups- they can run vid cards of any make in any config in the one system- [ no matter what- if a ati card is in the system- no nv physx- unless hacked drivers or something- or new to me.] ASrock and one other puts out least one great mobo each new chip set. I can say least giga is not biostar or something- and giga are great boards- they fall short of tops and not just lower sales numbers imo.

When buying- no mobo had all the features and quality and warranty and price as did my msi- it can be finicky- all in all its nice- wish I bought 1600 mem from the start- wish I was better or more smart about over clocking. Im not stupid but in general it is over my head- some might not understand but its like my dyslexia kicks in when I think about it or look at it- if have a guide or references to shoot for or between- I can do that test and tweak it until comfy.

Any way just pop in some 1600 mem I can just press the button on my mobo will take it to like 3.9g- is guides I can take it right at 4g- a lil tweaking it can go over- but 3.8 to 4g seems to be the performance sweet spot for these or my 750 set ups. I will get there someday

I have no probs buying from any of the top 3- if price and features are there. I can never buy the top just out- my stuff is mid range. I will buy asus giga or msi- is about it.. I can say I do not like this mobos bios or cmos on my msi what [ami] bios?- I think my abits used diff bios. Ease of use was better on my abit mobos and they seemed less clunky- iffy to me.. I look to get a hdd 640 to 750 maybe and a head set maybe a 2 gig vid card- when the nv 6s come out 4s and 5s prices will drop- just all the 560ti 2g I have seen are the kr models with only 3 years- sucks.. If lasts 3 years should last 100 me guess? With what I have and lil oc- get a hdd and 2 gig card. It is no games out or will come out I can not play and not near max out- for the next 3 or so years any way. Then it will be new great new stuff out and will be time to buy again. New is not always best and then it is normally with in a few ns- so..

The liquid nitrogen stuff is a bit over the top for me. It's not a thing you can run on a board every day, it's just to show off your e-penis.

I love my new Gigabyte board. My Biostar had 2 bad SATA ports from when I got it (open box) but it was still a nice board. I will not buy Asus or Asrock (same company, BTW) even tho they are the top seller in the world. They use VIA sound chips and VIA sound sux. I'm also not gonna buy an Intel chipset board. Yeah, OK, call me an AMD fanboi. I like my new Phenom II. Asus is only a top seller because their boards are in HP, Compaq and other prebuilt PC's.

No not all asua mobos use via lan or sound- which is what I avoid- most or now use only realtek or intel lan. High end mobos have add on sound cards- I would avoid them if creative or drivers by nature- Creative is a maybe 1 year support company and will sabotage its stuff when newer stuff comes out in hopes you upgrade or buy new etc. Mobos warranty is 3 or more years- you might get drivers what ever from creative for a year.. Other than that if just out and good drivers it is great maybe..

From reading no matter what brand- some models just have more probs and more poor bios than others- it is odd maybe but true.. And can be chip sets across mans..

Though I don't agree with Mr. Chris about Asus, I'm an Asus man btw, I can't disagree with his assertion that the audio on Asus sux....they do. Either that, or I had messed up somewhere with the onboard audio of my Rampage IV Extreme which supposedly has 7.1 HD audio. The sound was so bad, I had no choice but to get an Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 as the sound device for my new rig,,,,,literally music to my ears this new card is. On a side note, I've finally got EyeFinity up and running again, seems my old DP->DVI active adapter died on me, I scored a Sapphire (same brand as my GPU) mini DP to DVI adapter......just spent some time reconfiguring games to run in that mode.

Game Screen shots- good quality extra wide shots

Roger and wilco, will post screenshots of BF3, Deus Ex HR, W40K Space Marine....

Edit - I have posted some screenshots in the Gaming section....just for you, ezeht.
