Even after Computex the GIGABYTE Team has still been hard at work pushing the limits of the GIGABYTE Motherboards. This week GIGABYTE posts another 5 records, below you can see the breakdown and performance of GIGABYTE's Z170 Motherboard. GIGABYTE's Newest World Records: GIGABYTE's Global Firsts: WPrime 32M Be sure to check HWBot and GIGABYTE's Facebook page for more contests & competitions to win awesome GIGABYTE Prizes.

GIGABYTE attended G.Skill's Computex 2016 overclocking show on Friday with 6 records (2x World Records and 4x Global Firsts). The overclocking crew used GIGABYTE Z170X SOC Force LN2 and X99 Champion motherboards and G.Skill Trident Z memory. The world records in particular were also powered by the new Nvidia GTX 1080 graphics cards! Well done guys!!!!

GIGABYTE X99 SOC Champion OC Guide (Broadwell E Update) by dinos22 & sofos1990 1.        SINGLE BIOS mode : make sure you turn it ON (position 2). This switch will disable Dual bios mode in case it triggers a bios switch or update due to OC fail. 2.        This CPU_Mode switch is ONLY required for 5960X (Haswell-E) and it is not required for Broadwell-E (6950X). We suggest that you leave it in DEFAULT position (position 1) 3.        POWER DRAW : Our testing has shown that Broadwell-E draws less power than Haswell-E, despite the fact it has a higher amount of cores. This is welcome news as some PSUs were having problems with OCP shutdown as power draw exceeded the Amp draw limit on 12V rail. This may still be happening on PSUs of lesser quality or with aggressive OCP spec. We recommend discussing with peers what PSUs to use for extreme OC. 4.        CB (Cold Bug) & CBB (Cold Boot Bug) changes : From our experience testing 6950X CPUs, we've see
