Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H (Z87) Motherboard Review

AIDA64

AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for home users. AIDA64 Extreme Edition provides a wide range of features to assist in overclocking, hardware error diagnosis, stress testing, and sensor monitoring. It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. AIDA64 is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

SATA III performance showed that the Intel Z87 chipset was doing its job well as the read speed fell inline with the other Z87 offerings. The overclock actually boosted the transfer speed by 11MB/s which is quite an achievement and unlike anything we’ve seen on a board of this calibre before.
