saved. This is a handy feature
indeed especially if you need
to send settings to someone
along with the actual BIOS.
Performance wise, it’s a
little slower than the Z77
OC-Formula but isn’t too far
of the mark in general. It
delivers solid numbers and is
just as efficient as one would
expect from GIGABYTE’s
recent line of motherboards.
The true test of this board is
actually under LN2 where it
is bound to do better than the
previous offerings. That alone
should make the UP7 worth
considering as we now have
an LN2 mode specifically for
those liquid nitrogen sessions
that last for hours on end.
Memory performance is
one place where we wished
we could have seen some
improvements. The board is
configured by default loosely,
maybe excessively so. That
in itself isn’t a problem,
