Technical Summary

The Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC-Force motherboard, revision 1.03, dated May 2, 2013, is built on the Intel LGA1150 platform with a PCH southbridge. It features a dual BIOS configuration and utilizes an ITE 8728 LPC IO as the EC/KBC. The audio subsystem is driven by an ALC 898 codec. Networking is handled by dual Intel LAN controllers: the I217 and I210. Memory architecture consists of DDR III across two channels, with two DIMM slots per channel. Graphics support includes integrated CPU graphics from the LGA1150 socket. The board incorporates Renesas 3.0 USB hubs and D720210 4-port hubs for USB 3.0 connectivity. Storage expansion is provided by a Marvell 9230 SATA3 controller. Power regulation is managed by IR 3563A+IR3550 for Vcore and IR3570A+IR3550 for DDR15 power switching, alongside discrete power stages.
