The Z87X-OC Force motherboard is the Gigabyte's flagship motherboard. Its crowning feature, and the big one that differentiates it from the Z87X-0C board, is its dual-purpose heat pipe cooling solution. It comes standard with an integrated fan, as well as input and output ports for water-based cooling solutions.

Nope, no it shouldn’t, it’s too easy for other less reputable (They know who they are, yes I am looking at you, you less reputable site. lol) sites to crop out of the photo then and claim them as their own. Personally I think the watermark looks fine where it’s at.

10K hour special caps? My 5 year old Abit board has solid caps rated at 50K hours, I currently have 47K hours on it without a single issue.
Maybe they meant 100K hours, that’s more logical.
If you run your computer 24/7 you can rack up just shy of 9K hours alone.
