With reference to the photograph below, the first set of "+" and "-" buttons allowed us to adjust the CPU Ratio of the board while with the other set, we were able to tweak the base clock frequency accordingly. We also attempted to use the OC-Touch buttons to see if the changes made by their adjustments would be reflected in the Tuner utility of EasyTune 6 however, they didn't work well together, resulting in frequent system lockups. In this case, our changes were reflected in our standard CPU-Z utility however, we strongly felt that the absence of dedicated OC-Touch software is an affront to the pedigree of such a high-end board. We were able to tweak the settings of the board with the OC-Touch buttons after the successful installation of their Windows driver however, we would like to see the OC-Touch feature implemented in a similar manner as ASRock's Rapid OC where our changes and settings were reflected in the sofware's GUI.

We dug deeper at the product's support page and managed to download OC-Touch drivers for our Windows 7 test rig however, we were unable to locate any dedicated software for the OC-Touch feature. While we expected Gigabyte's OC-Touch feature to function in a similar manner as ASRock's Rapid OC that we used when reviewing the ASRock Z77 OC Formula motherboard, little did we expect that Gigabyte's OC-Touch didn't have an accompanying software.

In theory, this sounds very handy when the overclocker needs to edge out a performance gain quickly (if it works to his advantage).Īlas, the instructions on how to utilize the OC-Touch feature wasn't very explicit. According to the company, on-the-fly changes can be made to the base clock frequency and CPU ratio with these set of buttons, in whatever the environment (BIOS, DOS, Windows etc.) without the need to reboot the system. We also tried our hands on using the onboard OC-Touch buttons during our overclocking exercise. Overclock Tools and Utilities Overclocking using OC-Touch
