GIGABYTE P67 Sandy Bridge boards dominate HWBOT rankings
Three months ago Sandy Bridge launched and overclockers went out and bought hardware to compete on world’s biggest overclocking league, www.hwbot.org. We had a glance at the results today under Core i7 2600K CPU and found that GIGABYTE tops every single 2D category which obviously tests system performance. The most popular board that tops the record charts is the P67A-UD7 and the new UD7-B3. P67A-UD4-B3 also holds the PCMARK05 record. SuicidePhoenix, Mad222, dumo and SteveRo are pushing the boards the hardest. Congratulations men, keep overclocking it!...

Bullet92 from Croatia tests the new P67A-UD4-B3 LLC implementation to find it’s been tightened up real well!
I wanted to point out to some nice changes which overclockers will appreciate on the latest B3 chipset board from GIGABYTE. B3 chipset change was obviously the major change however the team also used the opportunity to implement a lot of feedback from the community to improve certain parts of the performance and generally better end user experience. One of such nice changes is related to LLC. LLC refers to LoadLine Calibration or otherwise a bios option that control the voltage droop when different loads are introduced. For some of you still scratching your head what this means if you have an overclocked system, for example, and have set 1.6vcore voltage in bios you would expect LLC enabled option to control that vcore to be very close to what...

Germany’s Overclockingstation Gives the Gold to the G1.Assassin
Overclockingstation recently put the G1.Assassin motherboard through it’s paces and it’s nice to see that they get the idea that this board was designed for gamers. The G1.Killer Assassin isn’t a overclocking motherboard and didn’t try to be. It was developed for gamers and offers special components for them. We have to ask for the costs. Actually the price is 426 Euro (price comparison). If you have a look on each single component like sound and network card the price is fair. Overclockingstation was impressed by this motherboard and awarded it with Gold-Award. To read the full review (in German), please visit Overclockingstation...
