Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Motherboard Review

Handbrake is a fantastic free program which we wanted to include to confirm findings with Media Espresso, earlier in the review. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.5 for testing today across all platforms. We encoded an DVD.MPG file.

At 4.7ghz the system takes 4 minutes and 49 seconds to complete the encoding task, around 5 seconds faster than the 2600k when it is clocked to 4.8ghz. Good results.

  1. great looking board, nice oc too.

  2. I thought you weren’t reviewing MSI or gigbyte, so glad to see one of the two so far 🙂 good price and nice layout of the PCB. I never thought about the power/ reset buttons etc, but it does make sense to move them to the memory slots. not the first time ive seen it, but most of them have those at the bottom next to the USB 3.0 ports.

    Havent had a gigabyte board in years, but might be a time to move this year.
