    The GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Force delivers a sublime OC experience without compromising on features. Supporting maxed-out 4-way SLI and Crossfire™ graphics configurations and an incredible 16 digital phase VRM for the CPU and memory, the GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Force is truly peerless and utterly ruthless.
  • OC Ignition (Patent Pending)
    There are occasions as an overclocker when you want to shut down the system without turning off the power to other parts of the system, for example the drives and system fans. This is where OC Ignition is really useful.

    Hitting the OC Ignition button gives continuous, uninterrupted power to all the motherboard's connected drives and system fans, but not to the CPU. This is useful in 'cold bug' situations when you need to heat the CPU to a bootable temperature, but you'd prefer the fans to keep spinning, reducing moisture build-up.

    Overclockers using i-ram drives may also want to maintain SATA power and not risk losing their customized OS install while users with regular SSDs or HDDs also know that frequent powering on and off is harmful to your drives in the long-term.

    OC Ignition is also useful in allowing users to pre-test water cooling setups, and even allows case mod demos to be developed without having to fully turn on the PC.

    OC Ignition: Feature Summary
    • Powers fans and drives without booting or powering the CPU
    • Active fans help to reduce moisture build-up when using LN2
    • Maintain continuous uninterrupted power to drives
    • Safely powers water cooling systems for safe leak checking
    • Test demo and case mod systems without needing to boot the system
  • OC Touch
    GIGABYTE OC Touch includes a range of easy to use buttons and switches featured exclusively on GIGABYTE OC motherboards.
  • 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.
  • OC Brace
    OC Brace allows extreme overclockers and system testers to safely install up to four graphics cards in an open case or test bed without risking PCIe slot damage or preventing cards not showing up in the OS due to poor contact with the PCIe slot.
    OC Brace is a simple and elegant way to give robust installation support to full sized graphics cards in extreme multi-GPU configurations, including LN2 benching with cumbersome GPU pots that a need stable, solid installation base over extended periods.
  • OC Cool
    The GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Force Motherboard features an extreme heatsink design for the PWM area that allows users to employ both passive, active and water cooling setups. A hollow body heatsink fitted with a silent integrated fan ensures superb heat dissipation during extreme overclocking configurations.
  • 4K Ultra HD Support
    4K resolution is the next technological milestone in high-definition content delivery, utilizing approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than four times today's standard HD pixel density. GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards provide native 4K support with integrated Intel® HD Graphics via HDMI.
  • Wi-Fi / Bluetooth 4.0 PCIe Expansion Card
    Supports the latest IEEE 802.11 a / b / g / n Wi-Fi connectivity, plus Bluetooth 4.0 and the latest Smart Ready technology.
  • Front Access USB 3.0 Panel
    A convenient front access USB 3.0 panel provides two USB 3.0 ports for quick and easy access to ultra-fast and reliable data transfer performance.
  • cFosSpeed
    GIGABYTE motherboards feature cFos Speed, a network traffic management application which helps to improve network latency, maintaining low ping times to deliver better responsiveness in a crowded LAN environment. cFos Speed works in a similar way to an OS driver, monitoring network traffic packets at the application layer, allowing optimization and improved network performance for specific applications.
  • Extreme Multi-GPU Support
    GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Force
    Premium 4-way Graphics Support:
    This extreme design employs a PLX chip that doubles the available PCI Express bandwidth, allowing overclockers and gamers to enjoy the ultimate in extreme multi-GPU configurations; 4-way AMD CrossFire™ and NVIDIA SLI.

    Native PCIe Gen. 3 x16 Direct Link to CPU:
    The single black PCIe x16 slot provides a direct link to the CPU, enabling it to bypass the PLX chip. This provides the fastest possible connection for single graphics card benching.
  • 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.
  • GIGABYTE Exclusive Ultra Durable Technologies
    Durable Black Solid Caps
    GIGABYTE 8 Series motherboards integrate the absolute best quality solid state capacitors that are rated to perform at maximum efficiency for extended periods, even in extreme performance configurations. This provides peace of mind for end users who want to push their system hard, yet demand absolute reliability and stability. With ultra-low ESR no matter how high the CPU loading, these exclusive capacitors also come in customized jet black, exclusively on GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards.
