Konklusion
Jeg synes det har været rigtig spændende ikke blot at kigge på Intel's nye Z97 chipset men også dette nye bundkort fra Gigabyte der tilbyder lidt af hvert. Generelt er der ikke meget nyt, men jeg synes det er rigtig fedt at Gigabyte har valgt at sleeve SATA kabler, og det at bundkortet er testet i 7 dage i træk sikre en at bundkortet faktisk virker. Det at man også kan se billeder fra tests af præcis ens eget bundkort gør at man kommer lidt tættere på Gigabyte end man normalt vil være, noget som jeg tror mange vil sætte stor pris på.
Innovation/Teknologi - 5
Jeg synes det er en fantastisk ide Gigabyte har fået med at teste kortet i 7 dage inden det kommer på hylderne, så er man sikret at bundkortet ikke er dødt eller dør i løbet af kort tid. Gigabyte har også sikret at lyddelen er i top som vi så på den tidligere Z87 Gaming serie. SATA Express er også en rigtig god nyhed for dem med en rigtig hurtig SSD.
Bundle/Tilbehør - 4
Der er alt hvad man kunne tænke sig med i pakken, men med et kort som dette havde jeg faktisk regnet med en plakat som man fik med den tidligere serie Gaming bundkort. Jeg synes også det er rigtig fedt at Gigabyte har sleevet SATA kablerne.
Design/Layout - 4
Generelt synes jeg at bundkortet er rigtig flot. Skiftet fra grøn til rød tema er for mig ganske fint, men det grønne ser nu også rigtig godt ud. Gigabyte har også fjernet deres dødningehoveder fra kølerne. Det generelle layout er ganske fint til et spillesystem.
Software/BIOS - 4
BIOS'en er blevet meget nemmere for nybegyndere at rode i. Skal man kun bestemme hvad der skal bootes op på, er den nye hovedmenu rigtig god. Jeg ville dog gerne haft mulighed for at sætte XMP profil på RAM i Startup Guide, da jeg stadig ser mange være forvirret af denne indstilling, og mange kører faktisk ikke med deres RAM's fulde hastighed, fordi de ikke kender til indstillingen.
Ydelse - 4
Det er klart at det nye chipset ikke gør underværker hvad angår ydelsen, men bare det at vi kan se en lille forskel, synes jeg er rigtig godt. Haswell's ydelse er heller ikke noget der fejler noget i forvejen, men dejligt at det går opad.
Pris - 4
Jeg synes at man for 2100 kr. får et ganske fint bundkort der kan klare stort set alles krav, især hvis der skal bygges et godt spillesystem på Intel's nye Z97 platform.
UK summary
I have found it fascinating not only to take a look at Intel's new Z97 chipset but also this new motherboard from Gigabyte which offers a bit of everything. Overall, there is not much new, but I find that it is great that Gigabyte has chosen to sleeve the SATA cables, and the fact that the board has been tested for seven consecutive days will make you sure that the motherboard actually works. The feature that allows you to see pictures from the tests of precisely your own board makes you come a bit closer to Gigabyte than you usually does as a buyer. This is something which I believe that many people will appreciate.
Innovation/Technology - 5
I find that is a fantastic idea from Gigabyte to test the card during 7 days before it is going to be placed on the shelves. This will ensure that the motherboard is not dead or will die within a short time. Gigabyte has also made sure that the sound section is at the top, just as we saw it on the earlier Z87 Gaming series. SATA Express is also great news for those with a really fast SSD.
Bundle/Accessories - 4
There is everything that you could wish for in the box, but with a card like this I had expected a poster like the one which was included with the earlier Gaming motherboard series. I also find it really great that Gigabyte has sleeved the SATA cables.
Design/Layout - 4
Overall, I find that the motherboard is great. The change from green to read theme is OK with me, but the green also looks fine. Gigabyte has also removed the death’s head from the coolers. The general layout is quite fine for a gaming system.
Software/BIOS - 4
The BIOS has been much easier for newcomers to work with. When you just need to choose which unit to boot from, the main menu is fine. I would have liked the possibility to set the RAM XMP profile in the Startup Guide, however, because I still see many who are confused about this setting and many people actually does not run their RAM at full speed because they do not know about this setting.
Performance - 4
It is obvious, that the new chipset does not do miracles when it comes to performance, but the mere fact that we can see just a small difference is fine in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with the performance of Haswell either, but it is great to see that things move in the right direction.
Price - 4
In my opinion you get a good motherboard for the price of DKK 2100. You get a board which can meet the requirements of almost everybody, especially if you are going to build a gaming system based on Intel's new Z97 platform.
