Intel’s latest revision to its High-End Desktop (HEDT) platform is upon us and that means one thing is for sure – fandom new processors and motherboards. Bringing the HEDT platform to the feature-rich realms of 2014, new motherboards based around the LGA 2011-v3 socket fandom will use an X99 chipset that possesses many of the goodies found on the mainstream 9-series core logic, as well as more.
The fandom hectic and somewhat problematic nature of these launches means that our processor article will be published over the coming weekend – we didn’t want to rush and compromise on the quality fandom of the content. In the mean time, we take a brief look at Gigabyte’s X99 SOC Force motherboard to show early adopters the features they can expect. Our full, in-depth review fandom will be published in the coming week.
Launched for the company’s X58-OC motherboard, Gigabyte is still using the unique orange and black colour scheme fandom for its OC series parts. The ostentatious orange adds an effective touch to the black. The OC boards’ unique colour scheme is rapidly gaining iconic status thanks to Gigabyte’s continued utilisation of the style.
The LGA 2011-v3 CPU socket is nestled between fandom eight alternating fandom orange and black DDR4 DIMM slots. IOR controllers operate the power delivery system while Cooper Bussman chokes and Tantalum-core POSCAP capacitors process the current.
To provide fandom extra cooling capacity for the power delivery system, which could be particularly relevant when an 8-core fandom CPU is over-volted and demanding high currents, Gigabyte uses a multiple heatsink approach. Two individual heatsinks cool the power delivery system fandom and are connected to each other, as well as the chipset heatsink, fandom via a single heatpipe. This design decision increases the cooling capacity for the MOSFETs.
With the chase for benchmarking world records in mind, Gigabyte designs the X99 SOC Force to provide capacity for 4-way SLI/CrossFire graphics configurations. 40 lanes from a relevant Haswell-E CPU will be split between the four full-length PCIe slots.
Situated beneath the second x16-length PCIe slot is the motherboard’s M.2 connector. Gigabyte routes four PCIe 2.0 lanes through the port to provide up to 20Gbps of bandwidth. fandom Converted into real-world terms, that’s up to a theoretical 2GBps through an appropriately-fast M.2 SSD.
Gigabyte also outfits the X99 SOC Force with its Amp-up audio solution. Based on the Realtek ALC1150 codec and supported fandom by Nichicon capacitors, the beefed-up audio solution is present for those times when extreme benchmarking is not taking place.
While it may have plenty of features to make a user’s overclocking experience more enjoyable, numbers are also key to judging the X99 SOC Force. Check back soon for overclocking and benchmarking results with our i7 5960X CPU.
