Introduction GIGABYTE has unleashed its latest flagship Z77X-UP7 Motherboard. Designed for extreme overclocking, the GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 motherboard is for serious overclockers looking to take down world records. Currently the Intel Core™ i 7 CPU world record holder at 7.102 G Hz, the GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 is this year′s overclocking motherboard to beat. Industry Leading 32+3+2 Phase CPU Power Design The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 motherboard delivers some serious amount of power through its 32+3+2 power phase design (32 CPU phases, 3 Intel HD Graphics, 2 VTT phases). Featuring the new GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 5 technology with high current capable components including 60A rated Pow I Rstages from IR, the Z77X-UP7 is able to deliver an astonishing 2, 000W of power delivery. True All Digital PWM Design The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 motherboard takes advantage of an exclusive All Digital Engine to deliver maximum power to 3rd generation Intel Core™ processors. Using entirely digital controllers means that more precise power delivery to the motherboard′s most power hungry & energy sensitive components is possible. GIGABYTE 3D Power (patent pending) Utility Users can enjoy a fully interactive 3D utility that facilitates adjustment of the 3
Dimensions that control the power delivery to your CPU & Memory: Voltage, Phase & Frequency. These parameters are crucial to how the digital PWM supplies power to critical areas of the motherboard & can help users quickly obtain the highest, most stable overclock. 3D Power: Voltage Control Voltage parameters can be modified within 3D Power, including load line calibration of the CPU. By adjusting load line calibration, Vdroop can be avoided, maintaining optimal voltages levels despite increasing current levels. OVP (over voltage protection) can also be adjusted to change default protection range of the CPU, IGP, VTT & system memory. 3D Power: Phase Control Users can calibrate OCP (Over Current Protection) for the CPU, integrated memory controller & system memory power levels. This allows the Phase control to deliver even more power to the system when needed. 3D Power: Frequency Control GIGABYTE's all digital PWM allows for adjustable frequency control via the International Rectifier PWM controller. 3D Power frequency control allows users to change the PWM controller frequency so that the CPU VRM can adjust power delivery speeds more quickly. Users can also adjust the PWM spectrum or maximum & minimum overall frequencies. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 5 High Current, Low Heat CPU Power Zone Design Features IR Digital Power Controller & IR3550 Pow I Rstage Ics The GIGABYTE motherboard employ award winning GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 5 technology that
Includes:: high current capable components for the CPU power zone including IR3550 Pow I Rstage ICs from International Rectifier, 2X Copper PCB & high current Ferrite Core Chokes rated up to 60A, which together are able to deliver up to 60°C* cooler temperatures than traditional motherboards. Featured on a range of new motherboards based the Intel X79 & Z77 Express Chipsets, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 5 technology is the next evolution in quality motherboard design. 4-Way Graphics The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 delivers the industry's most scalable graphics platform, with support for both 4-way ATI Crossfire X™ & Nvidia SLI™. Providing 4 PCI Express 3.0 x 8 connectivity, the Z77X-UP7 delivers ultra smooth 3D rendering, blazing-fast frame rates & enhanced graphics capabilities for users wanting to get the highest level of graphics performance from their system. GIGABYTE 3D BIOS (patent pending) GIGABYTE has completely re-drawn the traditional BIOS experience, providing mainstream & enthusiast users with an exclusive in-house designed UEFI BIOS technology. Featuring a superior graphical interface capable of 32-bit color imaging & fluid user-friendly mouse navigation, GIGABYTE 3D mode allows novice or casual users to more clearly understand the areas of the motherboard that are being affected through the BIOS settings, gaining a clearer understanding of the BIOS functionality. Advanced Mode provides a more comprehensive UEFI BIOS environment that is designed specifically for overclockers & power users who want maximum control over their PC′s hardware. Dual UEFI BIOS™ At the heart of this exciting 3D BIOS™ technology is a pair of physical BIOS ROMs containing GIGABYTE's exclusive in-house designed Dual UEFI BIOS™ technology, featuring the patented GIGABYTE Dual BIOS™ technology that automatically recovers BIOS data when main BIOS has crashed or failed. BIOS Switcher With onboard BIOS Switcher, users can manually select which BIOS chip to use (Main BIOS or Backup BIOS), allowing them to select one BIOS for normal use, & the other specifically for overclocking. Users can also easily compare two different BIOS versions, a very useful feature when users want to update to a new BIOS, but don′t want to lose their original settings. Dual BIOS™ Disable Switch Using the onboard Dual BIOS™ Disable Switch, users can disable the Dual BIOS™ recovery feature, helping to save time between failed overclocks. OC-Touch OC-Touch enables overclockers to quickly & easily get the best performance from their system. Onboard OC-Touch buttons allow overclockers to manually adjust the CPU ratio, BCLK settings as well as adjustments to the BCLK stepping ratio, to either 1 M Hz or 0.1 M Hz increments. These changes can be made in real-time, whether in BIOS, DOS, or Windows without the need for rebooting, so that users can quickly fine-tune their system & find their CPU's maximum frequency. Onboard voltage measurement modules are also included to help users to conveniently monitor individual component voltages & onboard LN2 Mode switch allows users to quickly drop CPU frequency to x 16 multiplier during extreme overclocking so that opening benching applications such as CPU-Z will not cause the overclock to fail. Thin Fin Cooling Design GIGABYTE has created a new " Thin Fin" heatsink design featuring the GIGABYTE signature OC Orange look & feel for its latest flagship motherboard. Featuring ultra thin metal fins, the heatsink provides greater surface area so that quicker heat exchange can occur. GIGABYTE 333 Onboard Acceleration GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards feature GIGABYTE 333 Onboard Acceleration, a range of the latest technologies that are designed help speed up data transfer, including Super Speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 technology, SATA Revision 3.0 (6 Gbps) technology & an unprecedented 3x USB (Universal Serial Bus) power boost on all USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports for more power hungry USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices. GIGABYTE On/ Off Charge GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards feature ON/OFF Charge, a unique GIGAYTE technology which allows you not only to charge your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, but also means that you can Quick Charge it. As an added bonus, it can even be charged when your PC is turned off, so even if you forget to plug it into your charger after you've synced up your music, it will be fully charged when you need it. Onboard m SATA Support GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards feature an onboard m SATA slot allowing users to easily take advantage of advanced SSD-based technologies like Intel Smart Response & Intel Rapid Start. Mounting an affordable, low capacity m SATA SSD directly onto your motherboard can enhance your PC's performance with better overall desktop responsiveness, faster boot times & faster system resume from ' Suspend to Disk' & ' Standby' modes. 80 Port Debug Display An onboard Debug LED (Embedded post code LED display) simplifies motherboard signals & indicates system status.
