Black Edition Series
The GIGABYTE Black Edition Series takes select motherboards from the Normal and Gaming Series and validates them for superior operational performance. Black Edition motherboards are stress tested for 168 hours straight (approximately one week) in GIGABYTE's new test lab for stability and performance. The boards are placed in full test systems with CPU and GPU-base LiteCoin mining run on the systems to push the board to its performance limits. As a result of this added in-factory validation, all Black Edition motherboard feature a full 5 year warranty. For aesthetics, GIGABYTE includes enhanced heat sinks on the UD5H and UD3H Black Edition board.
Black Edition Series motherboards include
- Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK
- Z97X-UD5H-BK
- Z97X-UD3H-BK
