Gigabyte Z87X-OC Review

Onboard Buttons

Overclocking is always a case of stability but when you’re going for records the limiting factor, besides heat, is booting into your OS. By no means unique to the Z87X-OC, it’s still good to see the ability to tweak your BCLK and multipliers once you’ve actually made it into Windows. You can boot at a more sensible setting and adjust once you’re in there to gain those final few MHz.

It’s not only about fine tuning your setup either, as often you go beyond the point of no return and the system refuses to POST. The Gigabyte offers the biggest suite of tools to save you from that situation without losing your hard work that we’ve ever seen. 

Time to discover if the Z87X-OC has enough performance to match its potential.
