Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC 32GB DDR3 Intel Motherboard

GIGABYTE 8 Series Overclocking Motherboards: Clock Higher
GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards debut a number of exclusive new and improved features that are designed specifically to help enthusiasts and overclockers not only get the most performance from their hardware, but also the absolute most enjoyable OC experience.

GIGABYTE Z87X-OC
Designed specifically for the purpose of breaking OC records, the GIGABYTE Z87X-OC offers unique and exclusive OC features that have never been seen before on a motherboard. Giving pro and enthusiast overclockers the edge on LN2, the GIGABYTE Z87X-OC sits at the bleeding edge of technical possibility, pushing the outer limits of performance.

OC PCIe Switch
Overclockers can manually turn on or off each installed PCIe lane of the motherboard allowing users to effortlessly remove graphic cards from the system without the hassle of physically removal. This is especially convenient for VGA overclocking on LN2 and water cooled systems.

OC PEG
OC Peg adds auxiliary power to the PCIe slots of your motherboard, improving system stability in extreme configurations. This is especially useful in power-hungry 4-way graphics configurations.

GIGABYTE OPT Fan Support
Many of today's 3rd party water cooling systems require CPU fan power support for both the cooling fan and the water pump. GIGABYTE 8 Series motherboards feature OPT fan support, an additional CPU fan pin header that can be used to connect a water pump and configured for continuous full speed operation. The OPT Fan is also useful for high performance coolers employing two fans.

Gold Plated Solid Power Connectors
GIGABYTE Overclocking motherboards feature gold plated connectors for the CPU and 24-pin ATX power connectors. Gold provides superior conductivity and signal transmission than standard implementations, also providing far better reliability and stability over time by resistance to metal corrosion caused by frequent use overtime.
