Ninjalane visits GIGABYTE HQ OC Lab, photo heavy!

Computex this year was probably one of the busiest ones on the calendar as far as overclockers were concerned. There was a record number of well known overclockers going to Taiwan this year from all over the globe and inevitably many ended up visiting the manufacturers.

GIGABYTE was no exception here and opened up its doors to a large group of overclockers on the weekend following Computex. GIGABYTE is a pretty laid back sort of company, almost like your typical Aussie sitting under the shade on a hot 40C day I’d say. There was no rules, agenda, expectation or anything of sorts. It was just a day of socialising, having some fun, downing a few beers & redbulls and catching up with old friends and meeting some new ones.

Dennis from Ninjalane was one of the guests and he took a fair amount of photos, I’ll put up a few but for the full report you should jump to Ninjalane website!

Video: Sin0822 Unboxes and Reviews the GIGABYTE Z87X-OC motherboard

Motherboard expert and OC enthusiast Sin0822 has just uploaded his latest video, an unboxing and review of one of our newly unveiled OC boards, the GIGABYTE Z87X-OC. Sin shows us the full retail package, but as you expect he also gives us a very detailed and well informed view of a pretty complex piece of kit. Sin examines pretty much every IC on the board as well some really good explanations of some of our more esoteric features that may initially bewilder those of you less familiar with overclocking.

Friday

TeamAU, HiCookie and G.Skill crew break 3DMARK05 world record live on stage at Computex GSkill booth!

G.Skill put on another fantastic OC show during Computex and had GIGABYTE over on Friday to do some overclocking live. TeamAU was there with dinos22 and youngpro. HiCookie, hiwa and Christian Ney were also present for a day of fun and a very late world record minutes before the venue pulled the power plug on a high clocking Z87X-OC rig and GTX Titans.

Boys from TeamAU, HiCookie and G.Skill crew managed to take the 3DMARK05 world record live on stage with some help from the new Intel Haswell platform and the new Z87X-OC board and dual Titan GPUs.
