Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 (Z87) Motherboard Review

Cinebench R11.5

CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more. CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

The G1.Sniper 5 sits at the top of the bunch, albeit by .01 and the overclock helps to boost the score to 10.64.

Super PI

Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.

SuperPI recorded one of the lowest times, being just slightly beaten by the ASRock Z87 Extreme6 and MSI Z87 MPOWER, though the overclock shaved off around 2 minutes of calculation time when at 4.9GHz.

  1. I love this board and I’m really grateful to my supplier for donating one to me along with a Gigabyte Windforce GTX 770. I’m really impressed by the audio and now I can finally retire my old Xonar PCI soundcard. Although the board and GFX card are way overkill for my personal use and gaming setup (I’m not as big a gamer as I used to be, I’m much older now & my grandkids take up a lot of my time) I appreciate it non the less.

      1. It has the ability for you to swap around operational amplifiers to tailor the sound to your liking. The board comes with two different value op-amps but I also have a few of my own lying about.
        In the past I always had to settle for a board that sported at least one legacy PCI slot in order for me to keep using my aging Xonar D2 soundcard which is far superior to any Realtek or VIA codec chip IMO.

        1. That’s great man! Only very hid end DACs have the switchable op-amp feature, like Xonar Essence One.

  2. with the name ULTRA DURABLE on it, makes me feel like im buying a generic autozone part
