Gigabyte G1 Sniper 5 motherboard review

In this review we test and benchmark the Gigabyte.G1 Sniper 5 motherboard. This Z87 gaming themed mainboard is seated in the high-end range of Gigabyte's multiple Z87 motherboards releases. Pop on an Intel 22nm Haswell processor and you will notice that the G1.Sniper 5 is extremely feature rich and has great overclock potential. Oh and of course you'lll spot the black/green color schema again. Have a look at this 19 page this review.

Are you going to review the Z87X-OC aswell?
I heard it's gonna be aggressively priced.

Probably be looking at the UD5 or similar then, when they get released. Nice looking board, shame about the lack of speed improvement though.
*EDIT* Page 3 Parrot AR Drone reference: LOL!
Nice board. I hope there is an ATX version without the Quad SLI support.

Wow that motherboard cost $430 US Dollar, the Gigabyte G1 Sniper M5 is a better deal at $200 and you really don't need more then Dual SLI/Crossfire support any way most people never get pass 1 card because there happy with it.

Looking at the Z87X-OC myself, but can't find any target prices for it.
EDIT:
Just found it, it goes for €200,- here in Holland. I just order all my parts

That one is $420 in US, €200 = $260US that kind of low there and you better jump it.
lucidus it showing a Wifi+Bluetooth card which I would never use with Game System Hardwire is the best way to go.

The one with WIFI + Bluetooth is the Z87X-OC Force, That one costs €500,- from the same shop.
It's for people with Triple/Quad SLI/Crossfire, as it has a PLX chip.

Which audio solution sounds better, the one from the Gigabyte Sniper 5 or the MSI XPower?
