Clocking
The GG7 was really easy to clock once you get used to going to look for where everything is in the BIOS, its a bit like muscle meory and we have not had a Gigabyte board to play with for what seems like an age. It was well worth it though with 5.1GHz and 3866MHz memory coming without too much effort. Once they stop gimping the BIOS and allow people to push the memory further it will be awesome because we believe it is capable and think they have been over cautious and shot themselves in the foot a bit! If you do try and select 4000MHz memory atm it just sets it to 3600MHz... Not exactly helpful but really wont effect 99.99999% of you will it.... Push on to the performance to see why.

Yes i'm aware that TTL doesn't review EVGA product and i remember why he doesn't also there is another motherboard brand he doesn't review either.
It's been over 4 years since TTL has done a EVGA review on video.Quote

Seems weird that Intel wouldn't even let you give the prices of the Motherboards I would of thought that was down to the manufacturer, I may be cynical but it maybe they are a little worried of what AMD have and the price they go forQuote
