Testing in style

What takes one week, needs a whole lot of power and many thousands of cables? Here is another peak at our testing facility in our factory in Nanping, Taiwan.

Aussies going mod crazy to win GIGABYTE Z97X-SOC Force motherboards

OCAU (Overclockers Australia) forum and GIGABYTE are holding an overclocking contest. The idea is to buy some super low end GPU (Nvidia GT610) and achieve the best results in a number of benchmarks.

Top three prizes are all GIGABYTE Z97X-SOC Force and there’s also a participation prize for a GIGABYTE Z87X-OC so you can understand the level of excitement as well as some serious punishment for those poor little graphics cards. Punishment you say, wait until you see the photos, I mean some SERIOUS punishment, modification, crazy cooling, etc. One contestant strapped 2x $100 power boards on a $50 cards hahahah.

Craaaaaaaaay-zeeeee ghetto modding incomiiiiiing!

Here is the competition page link.

Check out the crazy artifacting from zeropluszero

hahahahahah LOVE IT

GIGABYTE Z97X-SOC Force videos, it’s all in the detail!

A couple of cool videos were posted online about the new GIGABYTE Z97X-SOC Force motherboard by Tiny Tom Logan and Sin0822. Both guys have an interesting look at the boards from different perspectives. Tom talks to mainstream guys while Sin0822 talks to the hardcore hardware geeks. I like the sort of detail sin0822 gets into with the Z87X-OC vs Z97X-SOC Force comparison. Check them both out.

 

Single Card Fire Strike Extreme Record Done By Vivi & Crew

Vivi from South Africa posted a killer single card 3DMARK Fire Strike Extreme record on HWBOT. Vivi and Steponz ran this rig for the whole day, it was a brutal fight for MHz and persistence paid. The guys were pretty happy with a big cheer near the end when the score dropped, check out the video.

Who’s ready for some water cooling action with the new G1 Gaming boards?

Here is something to “wet” your appetite for the new GIGABYTE gaming series of boards being built by Richard Keirsgieter (FB page) who is an absolute genius case modder and probably the best in his field. We had to share another image, this man is ridiculously good at what he does!

GIGABYTE OC Lab Gets Overrun….by OC Sharks!

 

Last week the GIGABYTE OC lab hosted some world famous benchers to destroy hardware, go through massive quantities of LN2 and have a great time doing it. In the process several world records have fallen. We can’t post the scores just yet, but notice everyone but the shark and “Jake” are smiling. Congrats guys on an outstanding week of benching!

Along with the new red color, GIGABYTE G1 gaming motherboards have a whole new look about them, including new logo design. What do you guys think? Do you like the new look of G1 Gaming?

G1 Gaming Case Mod

We thought we would give a sneak peak at one of the custom systems our good friend Richard Keirsgieter  from the Netherlands is building for us. It’s not quite finished yet, but so far it is looking pretty sweet! Stay tuned for more pictures of the build coming soon.

Another Day, Another Heatsink

Any guesses as to what board this is? The color should give it away!
