DOA board. That’s what Gigabyte should all but
eliminate with its new Black Edition series. While
most motherboards are batch tested or fired up
briefly to prevent shipping DOA boards, few are
put through any real testing. With Black Edition
boards, Gigabyte takes every single motherboard,
installs it in a rack with CPU and RAM, and stresstests it for one week straight before sending it on
its merry way.
The GA-Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK is also
dream-worthy in that it supports just about every
item on the check list of things you need or want
from an LGA1150 mobo. With its PLX chip, you
could run four GPUs from Nvidia or AMD. If you
can’t decide between a Killer NIC or Intel NIC, no
worries, it has both. The audio path is separated
on the board to reduce interference, and it even
has Creative’s SoundCore and a TI Burr Brown
OPA2134 op amp. The only thing not to like is the
price, but this is Dream Machine and when has
that ever stopped us?
