Asus gryphon z87 BIOS update. Review of the motherboard test of ASUS GRYPHON Z87

Zharoznizhuvalny for children is recognized as a pediatrician. Allegedly, there are situations of inconvenient help for feverish women, if the children are in need of giving innocently. Todi dad take on the versatility and constipation of fever-lowering drugs. How can you give children a breast? How can you beat the temperature of older children? What are the best ones?

In connection with the transition to the new Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating system and the small change in the configuration of the test bench, we also looked at the motherboards based on the Intel Z87 logics and for the LGA1150 processors. List of Protest Models Having already passed dozens for the author, it is possible to say that with the main mass of the most beautiful boards they got to know. Zrozumіlo, protesting all pay unhurriedly, I wish the virobniks systematically expand the assortment and regularly announce new models. In addition, the board has not yet been consumed by the sphere of our interests. For example, from ASUSTeK motherboards, which are meant for those who like to go to the "ROG" (The Republic of Gamers) series, we protested depriving one model, but of all types of such LGA1150 motherboards, five hopes due to the growing term of the guarantee service "TUF" (The Ultimate Force) has lost our respect for the posture.

The most traditionally armored model Asus Sabertooth Z87 was picked up in the closest look, but then we thought and changed our plans. On the right, in the first place, in the first place, call the ATX form factor test, or large-sized E-ATX models, at the same time pay the microATX format step by step to get more and more adaptable. The width is the same as for ATX boards (if you want it to be smaller), and if you want it to be short and expensive, the stench sings square with sides of 244 mm. Riznitsya in additional generation is displayed on a number of roses for expansion cards, which may be more than a choice, and not like on ATX-boards. Maybe you should not be able to get a shortened gin and through a few small number of microATX roses, and you will be able to see them, but it’s not like that. Some computers rarely include more than two expansion cards, some of which are more than enough for a large number of cards. It’s not through the endurance of disliking microATX models, but because the stench is not handy for picking up and modifying.

The optimal way of distributing elements on boards has long been seen. Most of the robbers to accept the same rocky principles and ATX-pay with a small design may have ceased to be developed. The basic rule when paying ATX is to ensure that all the necessary features are available with the best manual rate. For microATX-pay, the rule is to sound similar, but the essence is correct - it is necessary to have space for the required elements on the adjacent areas. As a result, you have to suffer with microATX-boards, so the video card is so close to the processor socket that it is hard to install a large cooling system. It is important to change or to add memory modules, fragments cannot be seen, because the stench sticks to the video card. The card is great for expanding the SATA port, it’s easy to erase the stars from the middle of the payment, and about the optimal rosetting, there’s a lot of these elements, such as roses for fans, you can’t find. Change in size and pay not much to reduce the size system unit So it’s entusiast, practically not consuming anything, switching to ATX-pay and forgetting about three more compact and inexpensive microATX models.

However, all the trick was past, but the situation changed all at once. Accurately set the logics include all the necessary basic capabilities and adapt the current interface, so for great number additional controllers. As soon as they were needed, the standards were changed, and the microcircuits of grid controllers were changed, or the sound codecs became more compact, not even earlier. There are a lot of IDE, FDD and LPT, SATA and USB cards, which occupy less space, so you can also save a lot. All in all, it’s over and over again in full of old grasses. Vibrate ATX-pay, you can amuse yourself with the flexibility to add the microATX model to the model, which is less expensive. At the connection with the cymbals, we have seen a short course in the framework of another series of views of the microATX-boards of the new virobniks. Not forgetting about the need to wonder at the motherboard of the "TUF" series, we respected that it’s impossible to get the Asus Gryphon Z87 motherboard as a starting model.

Packaging and set

The design of the box with the motherboard Asus Gryphon Z87 is easy to see from the usual models of the company ASUSTeK, protesting they have lost their way. On the face of it, I will call you pay that logos, in the middle you see the emblem, which nagadu about the five-star term of the guarantee service. On the bell, you can see the image of the payment and the rear panel of roses, a short rendition of technical characteristics and views about special features.

A list of accessories that can be included in the kit, appearing unwittingly for such a small pay. Wine includes:

some Serial ATA cables with metal fittings, half with straight, half with L-shaped roses, all cables are specially designed for connecting SATA 6 Gb / s attachments (available with large inserts on roses);
A gnarly mistok for connecting two video cards in SLI mode;
rear panel cover (I / O Shield);
set of Asus Q-Connectors, which includes modules for connecting buttons and indicators to the front panel of the system unit, as well as USB 2.0;
Kerіvnitstvo koristuvach;
poster z short instructions zirannya;
certificate of reliability for the values ​​of methods for testing components;
about the five-year term of the guarantee service;
DVD z software security that drivers;
"Powered by ASUS" sticker The "TUF INSIDE" picture is for the system unit.


Design and flexibility

Description basic capabilities For new motherboards, like testumo, it’s not so easy to see it, but it’s the same, but not wonderful, even all the stinks are based on a set of Intel Z87 microcircuits. The axis can be said at once that the Asus Gryphon Z87 will adapt all current LGA1150 models. The digital system of living, which works according to the formula 8 + 2, is based on the basic elements. However, already at the very moment it is possible to see the visibility, even to the elementary base, to pass the test harder, about the same as in the virobs, which are intended for the needs of the army, for the establishment of servers, allowing the ASUSTeK company " Chotiri roses for DDR3 memory modules have a maximum capacity of 32 GB, as on other models, but the maximum frequency is 1866 MHz, and not 2933 or 3000+ MHz. Vtіm, it’s not so easy to fight a bummer. The BIOS of the board allows you to install whether there is any available functionality for the preset frequency and memory, so our modules were used on the board at a frequency of 2133 MHz, not better and not more, not on the other models.



The number of SATA 6 Gb / s ports is quite enough for a small pay, you can easily do without additional controllers for accumulating, as there are many other models of the same form factor, and the axis of a set of roses for expanded cards is still non-standard. Although some Intel Z87 logic packs allow for PCI Express processor lines, then two PCI Express 3.0 x16 roses will be completely cleared out, I want some models to get by with just one. However, on the Asus Gryphon Z87 board, there are three PCI Express x16 roses at once, and AMD Quad-GPU CrossFireX or NVIDIA Quad-GPU SLI video cards have been adopted. Two first roses are available until the third generation of the interface and can be extended between the PCI-E 3.0 processor lines (1 × 16 or 2 × 8). The third is to base on the black lines of another generation that will ensure the maximum speed x4. In addition, the board is equipped with one PCI Express 2.0 x1 rose, and the axis of the slot for a quick PCIe rose is not known at all.



Viewed from old interfaces - the same solution, typical for ASUSTeK's motherboards. In the Asus Gryphon Z87, you don’t know the serial COM port, don’t use the PS / 2 keyboard for the keyboard on the back panel, but the analogue D-Sub display is displayed. The back panel of roses is not nadihaє, it is too full of a lot of non-corroded. vіlnogo mіstsya, prote basic set of required interfaces є:

Chotyri port USB 2.0, and even more you can connect up to two internal roses on the board;
video clips DVI-D and HDMI;
Chotiri USB 3.0 ports (pink blue colorah) appeared to be able to support the Intel Z87 logic set, and two additional USB 3.0 ports can be added behind one internal rose;
roses'єm local framing(Merezhevy incentive adapter on the Intel WGI217V gigabyte controller);
optical S / PDIF, as well as a number of analog audio roses, the robot will take care of the eight-channel Realtek ALC892 codec.



Before the speech, we have forgotten about one characteristic rice of motherboards, which lay down to the "TUF" line. About the relevance of the Asus Gryphon Z87 model to the whole series, don't you have to say logos and camouflage protection, but is armor really famous? Won є, ale now I don’t stand up with a chat, її for bazhannyam you can get okremo. The Gryphon Armor Kit includes panels for the sides of the motherboard, a screw and the necessary mounting hardware, plugs for the saw and a small fan with a diameter of 35 mm. So, our claims are not true, there is no space above the DVI-D video output specially;



We have repeatedly bached the plugs, so that they can be protected from the saw-hammering of unrecognizable roses. Every motherboard can also be equipped with video outputs on the rear panel, and some of them are also available for displaying discrete video cards. For this reason, the virobniks began to install the captured krishechki and plugs for video outputs, and a number of inserts for removing USB roses were added to some models. The set of boards of the "TUF" series, with overhauled plugs, includes Dust Defenders strips for unoccupied expansion cards and memory modules, ale plugs for audio-roses have been developed for the first time. It's cute.


To us it is deprived of having to look at the scheme of payments, why not assess the performance of the design and respect for additional special features. For example, for small microATX-boards, you want to get involved in the abundance of all three roses for connecting fans, but the Asus Gryphon Z87 has an unprecedented number of unprecedentedly large numbers. Usiy ros'єmіv sіm, there are two processors, and one three-pin designation for a small additional fan. The first buttons should go to "USB BIOS Flashback", as it is possible to update the firmware without re-folding the system, it is enough to bring up the payment. Just the button "MemOK!"


Varto is a complex of technologies Q-Design, which will forgive the folding and operation of the system based on the motherboards of the company ASUSTeK. The Asus Gryphon Z87 motherboard is equipped with all the features that can be entered to the warehouse complex, with the blame of the POST indicator, however, there are some problems at the start, you can help the "Q-LED" (CPU, DRAM, VGA, Boot Device LED) Additional diagnostics is less accurate, but more simple and simple. "Q-Slot" - a number of manual wide inserts on roses for video cards, and "Q-DIMM" - a number of one-sided inserts of roses for memory modules, on a small plate, the stench is not clear, it is necessary to allow the need to be replaced without vityaguvati installed on the video card. Q-Shield is a cover for the rear panel (I / O Shield), but there are no damaged cells, which should be used in the middle of the roses when installing, and there is an electrical gasket on the revolving side. "Q-Connector" is a complete set of adapters, which includes modules for connecting buttons and indicators of the front panel of the system unit and one internal USB 2.0 port.

BIOS features

In front of us, we were repeatedly told to see the functionality of the BIOS LGA1150-boards of the ASUSTeK company. At all times we have a small board, but the BIOS at it may be the same, only the color of the gamma can be seen, it is only easy to walk through the parts and it is refreshed in the memory of the main features. Earlier, for the input into the BIOS, the "EZ Mode" mode was forgiven for us. I allow myself to learn about the basic characteristics of the system, vibrate the economical or productive mode of the robot and set the order for enriching the enticing attachments, simply by dragging them with a bear. With the opportunity to set the correct time and date, as well as vibrate the robotic fan mode, you can set the "X.M.P." for modules of memory and get acquainted with the information about the connections of the accumulators. The “F7” key is used to switch from “EZ Mode” to “Advanced Mode”, or you can quickly use the “F3” key, as it allows you to quickly move to one of the BIOS distributions, which is the most frequent choice.



When entering the BIOS, you can switch from EZ Mode to Advanced Mode, you can use the F3 key, yak, before the speech, right in the other BIOS districts, otherwise you will be able to do it manually, as the Advanced Mode will start to start up. At such a time, we will make a posture of the knowledge of Main before our eyes. You can see the basic information about the system, allowing you to set the current date and hour, and the ability to change the BIOS interface, including Russian. At the “Security” distribution, you can provide the administrative and administrative passwords for access. However, the Main section is not on the list now, and a new My Favorites section has appeared in front of it. There are some indications that you can pick up all the parameters in one place, so that you can most often be victorious. A selection of empty ones and a revenge on the pre-information, like adding or tidying up options for a helper bear or keyboard. It is necessary to say that the fence is low for the choice of parameters, and the stench will not only expand on the whole of the partitions, but to navigate to the parameters, which are located in the menu. Here is a list of options for the onslaught of the F3 keys, which can now be redrawn, seeing as unnecessary and additional necessary points. So, the maximum dullness can be discarded from the My Favorites menu and from the menu with the best accommodations, but it’s not so easy to do it as it could have been when there’s a lot of room. In addition, My Favorites has been distributed, there is no way to vibrate in the same starting position, as, in fact, if it’s the first thing, there’s not a lot of it.



The main mass of options necessary for the distribution of the distribution of the distribution "Ai Tweaker". Win and earlier it was rather big, and having become even larger, the number of information parameters per ear has grown, multipliers for changing the frequency of cache memory in the middle and in other parameters near the end of the week have been added. Moreover, you need to know more than a few parameters, some of all the stinks are automatically set by the board, but if you just go before setting it up manually, so immediately there is no need to use it earlier for unused options.

For example, you don't need to change the value of the Ai Overclock Tuner parameter on the X.M.P., so that you can automatically change the parameters of the robot's memory system, or to Manual, so there are immediately options for changing the basic frequency and control processes. The strains can be set as a matter of fact, so lower than the nominal, the exact value of the order and the parameters, which can be changed, even more manually. When changing the tension on the processor, you can choose between three different options. It can be hard to fix on the singing meaning, it can be deprived of adding the required value in the "Offset" mode, but it is possible to pick up an adaptive (interpolation) option. The reports about the differences in three ways of changing the tension on the processors have also been raised in the Asus Z87-K.

Some of the parameters are traditionally wine-brewed up to podrozdіlіv, schob overwhelmingly do not zakharaschuvat head. On the outskirts of the city, a change of time memory has been brought, the number of times is even greater, protesting the power of the whole family by hand. Having swallowed by the swampy scrolling, it is not important to smack all the times that were set as a payment for the two channels of memory. You can remember the deprivation of the dough, for example, the deprivation of the main ones, having surpassed the meaning of the umovchannym.



It is impossible not to mention a great number of options, but to stay in the main life and energy, but the founders of the digital living system "DIGI +" have appeared. Directly in the BIOS, it is possible to use formal energy-saving technologies, which allow changing the number of active phases of the processor's life. The anti-aging technology for the processors under the CPU Load-Line Calibration can be used not just in any way, but also in the steps of the anti-movement.



Pay the ASUSTeK company to change the number of options for the CPU Power Management. Along with the extraordinary, obvious and the boards of those parameters, which allow adjusting the permissible processor life, a number of additional options give the ability to speed up the reaction time and reduce the energy efficiency.



At the end of the day, the “Ai Tweaker” distribution will end, at the same time we did not know the whole group of even more important options to manage the processor's energy-saving technologies. There is a typical shortage of boards from ASUSTeK, and a large number of boards from the largest ones. The root of the problem lies in the AMI BIOS, which lies in the basis of the UEFI BIOS of modern motherboards in a non-rational basic configuration.

Possibilities for children in the "Advanced" section gave us good knowledge and intelligence behind their names. Stink allows the robot to set up a set of logic and additional controllers, new interfaces, enable specific technologies, such as Intel Rapid Start and Intel Smart Connect.



In the “CPU Configuration” family, there is a knowledge about the basic types of the processor and the kernel with some processor technologies, for example, the technology of virtualization. However, earlier, there are no parameters, but there are processor-based power-saving technologies from Intel, a bit of wine stench on the other side of the "CPU Power Management Configuration". In a small selection on the screen, you can see only three first parameters, the samples for the CPU C States option are set to Auto, and all the onset parameters are set. We have specially changed the value of the CPU C States option to Enabled, so you can demonstrate a large number of previously captured parameters available for change. The stench should be injected into the energy supply of the system in peace, so it would be more beautiful to ask it by hand, and not to pay for the loan.



Rozdil "Monitor" increased the flow temperature values, the pressure and the speed of the wrapping of the fans. For all fans, you can vibrate by setting the modes for adjusting the number of wraps. standard set: "Standard", "Silent" or "Turbo", if you need more flexibility, if you want to use the parameters in manual mode.

A characteristic shortcoming of the bugs of modern motherboards has been lost in the controllability of the three-pin processor fans, but now the function has turned to the boards of the ASUSTeK company.


There will be a Boot distribution, de mi vibrate parameters, which will be stuck at the start of the system. Here, before speaking, it is necessary to change the starting EZ Mode to Advanced Mode. At the same time, you can enable the Fast Boot parameter for an hour, so you don’t get stuck with problems when entering the BIOS through those when the board starts up very quickly, and you just don’t get up on the keyboard for an hour. The offensive section of "Tools" is to take revenge on a couple of important children, so that you regularly get sick, and one more marnias. A utility for updating Asus EZ Flash 2 firmware has been added, one of the most convenient and functional programs of a similar nature. As one of the pass, you can see the readings from the files formatted by the NTFS system. Anything special will not need to be paid by ASUSTeK and Intel. Unfortunately, the possibility of saving the in-line version of the firmware before the updates in the current version of the firmware has been removed. The Asus Overclocking Profile allows you to save and quickly tweak all other profiles by adjusting the BIOS. Skin profile can be applied short name, scho nagaduє about yogo vm_st. Profiles can be exchanged, saved on the new ones. Minus the fact that the pardon has not been corrected, through the yak in the profiles it will not be forgotten to include the start picture.



In addition, in the "Tools" section є "Asus SPD Information" section, in which you can get acquainted with the memory modules hardwired into the SPD memory modules, including the XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) profiles. However, it’s not enough for a lot of children to vibrate, and even the memory of the memory is changing in the first child, it’s even far away and it’s not handy.

Near the center of the right part of the screen, above the overlay of “hot keys”, you can see two buttons - “Quick Note” and “Last Modified”.


The first is to allow you to write down and overwhelm you as it is more important to make a reservation, and to drive your friend over the last changes that have been made, you will be able to navigate when the system is re-installed or disabled. You may be wondering if the changes in the BIOS settings have been broken, and now, for all the navigation, it is not necessary to go to the BIOS, because the Save to USB button allows you to save the change over to the nose.



Superficially, it is similar to "Last Modified" in the end of "BIOS Setting Change", which automatically shows the change of changes when skin is saved. Wonder at the list, you can easily check the correctness set value, Persh nіzh zastosuvati zmіni, perekonatysya, scho there are no gracious ones, or zabutyh optsіy. In addition, for the rest of the day, it is not important to know about the visibility of the current adjustment of the values ​​recorded in the BIOS profiles. Having locked up the profile, you can instantly change absolutely all of the details of the previously set parameters in the "BIOS Setting Change" window.



It’s possible to say that the capabilities of Asus EFI BIOS and earlier were even worse, and that there was no need for a big reprobation, it’s necessary that there’s no need for a perfect correction for the weakening of shortcomings. Vona Bula has been carried out and in the new BIOS modification it is possible to see a few changes to the brighter. Deyaki is not above the sutta, for example, it is easier to improve the functionality before it is even more unnecessary for the "EZ Mode" mode. It is also important, including the new My Favorites section, that you have the ability to add notes and edit a list of the most frequently selected BIOS distributions that you can at any time be under the onslaught of the F3 keyboard. In the past few years, the last change was introduced into the "Last Modified" and the "BIOS Setting Change" was shown in the list. current changes, as will be stalled. Radu goodness, turned around, regulate the three-contact processor fans, I would like to replace in this case the admission “More beautiful, less nicholas”, more quickly, “Good spoon to the point”.

At the same time, since no pardons have been corrected, the connection to the start picture will not be memorized through the profiles in the profiles. The parameters of the "CPU Power Management Configuration" side, which play an even more important role in the energy-saving systems, were not introduced before the "Ai Tweaker" distribution, it is difficult to get to them manually. For a wide selection of My Favorites, you will need to make sure that you are not satisfied with the additional parameters and the unkindness of your choice as the starting one, as, for all intents and purposes. The EPU Power Saving Mode parameter, which includes the form of energy-saving technologies, eliminating the nimbleness of the adjustment. Earlier, you can choose the most suitable level of economy on your own, but now you can get rid of it.

Test system configuration

Effortless experiments were carried out on test systems, including the onset of a set of components:

Motherboard Asus Gryphon Z87 rev. 1.03 (LGA1150, Intel Z87, BIOS version 1603);
Processor - Intel Core i5-4670K (3.6-3.8 GHz, 4 cores, Haswell, 22 nm, 84 W, LGA1150);
Memory - 4 x 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM G.SKILL TridentX F3-2133C9Q-32GTX (2133 MHz, 9-11-11-31-2N, 1.6 V voltage);
Video card - Gigabyte GV-R797OC-3GD (AMD Radeon HD 7970, Tahiti, 28 nm, 1000/5500 MHz, 384-bit GDDR5 3072 MB);
Disk drive -Crucial m4 SSD (CT256M4SSD2, 256 GB, SATA 6 Gb / s);
Cooling system - Scythe Mugen 3 Revision B (SCMG-3100);
Thermal paste - ARCTIC MX-2;
Living unit - Enhance EPS-1280GA, 800W;
The case is a test bench based on the Antec Skeleton case.

The operating system was installed Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64 bit (Microsoft Windows, Version 6.3, Build 9600), a set of drivers for a set of microchips Intel Chipset Device Software 9.4.0.1027, a video card driver - AMD Catalyst 13.9.

Nuances of robots in nominal mode

We've also had a handful of new tests and folding test systems based on the Asus Gryphon Z87 microATX board. The cooling system Scythe Mugen 3, which is victorious with us, does not belong to the gigantic ones, but it’s still big, there is a central cooler with a 120-mm fan. I didn’t want to, but you should save the opportunity to compare with the previously tested ATX motherboards. Fortunately, the folding did not bring absolutely any problems, the system successfully switched on and started. For additional utility, the BIOS firmware was updated to the last one at the time of the revision of the version, but it did not come close to the traditional for motherboards of the ASUSTeK company, which is low and inexpensive.

At the start of the payment of the ASUSTeK company, they will show an enchanting picture, it seems that you can go to the BIOS for the onslaught of the Del or F2 keys. However, it’s the standard functionality, which doesn’t require nagaduvan, but a sieve clavish, individual for young virobniks, traditionally forgotten. For example, if you want to create a menu that allows you to vibrate the start setting for post-ditch entrapment, pay Asus to win the F8 key. Information about the price є in the standard, ale, the clue of the bullet would be pre-river and even better known at the start of the payment, the axis would only be worth it.



The creation of the enchanted picture can be enabled after additional adjustment in the BIOS for an hour, only for the continuous start behind the additional key "Tab", but if you see it, it’s not like a daughter. In the world of the starting procedure, the board vived on the screen is rich in information about the name of the model, the BIOS version, the name of the processor, the frequency of the robot memory, the number and type of USB-attachments, and also the changeover of the connected drives. However, the real frequency of the processor's robots is unfortunate, the fee is often less nominal. As a matter of fact, the frequency will be not only during the acceleration, but it will be necessary to navigate with the robot in the normal mode, because of the new technology. Intel Turbo Boost ". Tsei nedolіk tim more cover, oskіlki we know, but pay the ASUSTeK company, as they are referred to the "ROG" series, in order to correctly start not only the nominal, but the real frequency of the robot processor.



We see the motherboards of the ASUSTeK company, which are even more abundant, the stench is known to the old galuseys, there are a lot of serious and significant values. Knowing the shortcomings, deyaki can be corrected, with others it is possible to simply reconcile and do not mind. Among the minuscule there are not many critical ones, as in principle they did not allow them to pay for prizes, but the number of minuses is even greater, and the whole sutta will cut off the satisfaction of robots with boards. Probably bulo zrozumіlishe, I will try to overhaul the children, as it is necessary for the viconati, the schob to preserve effective for a robot pay at nominal regime.

If you enter the BIOS, you will be assigned the correct time and date, and the order will start. You can get to know the customization of robotic roses for extension cards, the inclusion of specific technologies or the change of parameters. There are a lot of standard procedures that can be repaired if you pay, so it’s not impossible to pay, but when you enter the BIOS, pay ASUSTeK company in the “EZ Mode” mode, so we need to go to the “Advanced Mode” all times, and all at once we start at the "Boot" section at once - two times. In the same place, turn on the Fast Boot parameter, so you don't get stuck with problems when entering the BIOS - a total of three.

It's just wonderful that you pay automatically to regulate the speed of the fan wrapping at low temperatures. However, on the BIOS icons, you can see a bug, but a few processor fan wraps can be seen with a worm. This means that the board itself changed the speed of the wrapping, it became a little angry at once, it became too small, and then, when the system is run on the skin, the start will stop. On the screen, there will be a post about the understatement of the number of wrappers and the system for checking your solution. Previously, the parameter was simply ignored, now it is possible to change the minimum permissible speed of the fan wrapping in the Monitor box - the chain.

The "Ai Tweaker" section doesn’t have any needs, but in the "DIGI + Power Control" section it is necessary to enable the optimal mode for the “CPU Power Phase Control” and “DRAM Power Phase Control” parameters - the chain of stages. With high processor options, ASUSTeK motherboards now include Intel Turbo Boost technology and the stink will drop the processor frequency to the nominal. As soon as the new type is not much larger, then the fall is short, far away, but the stench doesn’t come from the productivity of the system. However, if the frequency is high, the frequency will be too low and the speed will be suttuvim, and in order to correct it, in the case of "CPU Power Management" I will hand over the allowable between life. At the same time, it is necessary to read contextual clues about some of the parameters of the food, the stench is referred to the integrated in the Haswell processor, and the actions of them also allow the reduction of energy efficiency. That is the second point.

The BIOS of ASUSTeK motherboards has an even more important role to play up to the parameters that are powered by Intel's energy-saving technologies, to get so much that the enemy is coming, because the stench seems to be captured on a special basis. If you know, you need to go to the Advanced section, then go to the CPU Configuration section, to go to the CPU Power Management Configuration sidebar. The list on the screen shows only three first parameters, the samples for the CPU C States option are set to Auto, and all the new options are set. If you change the value of the parameter to "Enabled", you can know the options a little earlier. Now, most of them are still working, and for the correct robotics of energy-saving technologies, it was unnecessary to enable the Package C State Support parameter. Сім. At the end of the whole episode in the APM section, the Advanced section needs to enable the ErP Ready option to save energy for the installed mill.

At the same time, we need to go through all the basic stages, many of which include all of them at once, and all in order to ensure the normal, optimal and economical mode of the robot system. Honestly, it seems that even if you would like to use it, all the necessary parameters were automatically set by the board when you select the Load Optimized Defaults option, without the need for a tedious, tedious and tedious manual adjustment.

Features of overclocking the processor

Let’s wonder at some point that the Asus Gryphon Z87 motherboard will be offered to us as an automatic way to improve productivity. As on the other ASUSTeK motherboards, the Asus MultiCore Enhancement function is awkwardly speeding up, as, for whatever reason, it will allow you to increase the performance of the processor up to the maximum value transferred by the Intel Turbo Boost technology. The list for the parameter is set to the value "Auto", albeit not functionally, but just turn it off, it is necessary for the option "Ai Overclock Tuner" to set the value "Manual" or "X.M.P." To achieve higher results, use the "OC Tuner" parameter. When the Ratio Only value is selected, the processor multiplier increases, and when the BCLK First is set, the base frequency increases. However, whether the methods of automatic overclocking are not ideal on any motherboards, it is not recommended for us to invoke them. With a small amount of optimal values ​​of the parameters that are poured onto the rosette, the result will be more beautiful. Above all, it is important to be able to see it, or it’s just because of the lower energy saving and thermal imaging.

The most efficient way to get the processor up and running without having to change it, but on the Asus board, you just can't change the processor performance, and nothing more. At the end of the process, the power on the processor cores is automatically replaced by a fee, and the integration into the processor is redesigned, and the change is made immediately and on its own, it’s even more difficult to pull up on the page. All the same, shvidshe for everything, before overheating and just to the vitra of energy and any kind of energy-efficient acceleration we will not see. If you want to unlock the automatic pushing of the board when the processor is overclocked, it is necessary to set the CPU Core Voltage parameter to manual mode, or nothing more. At the end of the day, there is no problem with the payment, it doesn’t envy or integrate into the Haswell processor. For any problem, you can also enable the anti-voltage drop technology on the processors before the "CPU Load-Line Calibration" option and the "Internal PLL Overvoltage" parameter. The stench can be known only for the arch of the high rod, but for the extraordinary one is not needed.

Tilki rozgin without improvement can be energy efficient. It is worthwhile to increase productivity, to speed up the calculation and to spend the same amount of energy, to grow up energy in one hour, to speed up, to speed up, to speed up the number of times to spend on the same day. It’s just such a way of thinking that it’s minimal to start in the midst of the midst, not in line with ecology, but it’s a long time ago that it was brought up by the statute. Energy saving processors". However, every hour of testing motherboards is done. It is necessary to ensure that the borderline is possible and maximally profitable, to reconsider the payments in the robot in different modes, it’s not the optimal way to drive, but the one that allows you to achieve the best results. For tests of motherboards, the frequency and pressure are more beautiful, and even more is added to the board. Only with robots in extreme, close to the bordering minds, it is possible, in simpler terms, to find problems, to find pardons and inadequacies.

Earlier, we used to put the pressure on the "Offset" mode, plus for LGA1150-processors they became available similar to the principle of adaptive or interpolation mode, protest for Haswell processors, the offense of options appeared to be unacceptable. As you already know, when you add something, bring the smallest value to the standard stress, integration into the processor, the stabilizer will immediately help you to change and when you are ready to fix it, it will start working even more. It is all natural to produce up to an increase in thermal imaging, temperature, and as a result, such a way of acceleration appears unsuitable through overload. In order to avoid a negative effect, it is brought about the release of the Haswell processor in case of persistent, uninterrupted and fixing problems. For the most part, the motherboard is tested for an hour when the processor is up to 4.5 GHz when the stress on the cores is fixed at 1.150 V in one hour for the parameters memory modules recorded in the "X.M.P." profile.



Obviously, when driving from fixing springs on the processor cores, the robot will often use energy-saving technologies, the efficiency of the processor in a quiet fall, but it does not even go down and it is unnecessary to be overwhelmed. We have to worry about ourselves, which is not good enough, if we do not need it, and if we do not have tests for an hour, and besides, be impatient, and we may not be interested in the energy maintenance of the system in peace.



Before the speech, earlier we published the article “ LGA1150-processor Haswell - the robot is correct in normal mode and the method of acceleration". Tsei material of indications in order to explain to new users with LGA1150 platforms the basic principle of choosing optimal parameters for robots in the nominal mode and overclocking Haswell processors on motherboards of newer versions. There you will know the guidelines for the inclusion of Intel energy-saving technologies and the adjustment of the available processors between the processors, as the way to get rid of them on the cores, and so on.

Equivalent productivity

The adjustment of motherboards for shipment is traditionally carried out in two modes: if the system is working in nominal minds, as well as when the processor is overclocked and memory. The first option of tsіkaviy from the point of view, which allows yasuvati, as far as the motherboard is to pay with parameters for the proposals. Seemingly, it’s important not to tinker with the fine tuning of the system, it’s just like setting the BIOS to standard parameters, which are not optimal, but nothing more. Axis i carried out a reversal, make sure you don’t get involved in a given job, pay for a change. It's a pity that for the large LGA1150 motherboards, the test option is unbearable, the odds for the bagatoh models have the same value. As a result, the message was published and the change in the changes that we introduced into the adjustment of quiet models, and the test itself in such a regime appeared to be consumed. In addition, we showed the same results of our corrections.

In the new series of LGA1150 boards, they have changed the informativeness of the tests with standard adjustments. More than nothing is not perfect and nothing is not correct. As for the value of the parameters, the fee will be set for the suggestions, for the winnings and for the test, as long as the stench of the suttau is seen from the nominal ones. At the same time, there is a need for intelligence, but it is even more rotten, if the model is ready, it will not work, if it is not suitable, if the payment is higher for all supernits. In this vipadku, tse does not mean that you are screaming for others, but only means those that the regular mode of the robot cannot be touched by the board. Only average, close to great results, and let’s admit that the bazhani, the scandalous, sportive models for every hour of the robot in the early minds demonstrate even the same level of performance. At the connection with the cymbals, they thought about it, they thought about the best results on the diagrams, but instead they lost the tradition of grading in the world of reduced productivity, and the indicators of the Asus Gryphon Z87 model were seen for the most part.

In the test for visualizing the performance of the photorealistic trivial rendering of Cinebench 15, the processor tests are carried out five times and the results are averagely rendered.



The Fritz Chess Benchmark utility has proven itself in tests for a long time already. There are the kinds of results, well, it’s good to repeat, the productivity will be scaled up in the fallowness of the number of vicious numerical flows.

The original version of the programs with the encoder version r2106 allows the storage of the AVX processor instructions, we have replaced the libraries, so you can see, on the r2334 version, you can reject the AVX process. Averaged results from five passes are presented on diagrams.

The productivity of the processors with cryptographic support is tested by the popular TrueCrypt utility test, which can be encrypted using AES-Twofish-Serpent with a buffer size of 500 MB. Slide it means that the program is not only good enough to efficiently enumerate the robot, be it a number of cores, or if you need to customize the set of AES instruc- tions.



Computer gram Metro: Last Light is still more efficient than the productivity of the video card. We were lucky enough to adjust the quality of the "Medium Quality", so that you can save the rake during the separation of the building on the screen 1920x1080.

Racing F1 2013 є Nabagato mensh vimoglivimy to the graphical pidsystem of the computer. With a separate building of 1920x1080, we set all adjustments to the maximum, vibrated the Ultra High Quality mode, and additionally turned on all available functions reduced image quality. The test is carried out five times for the group, and the results are averaged.



In the majority of tests, the Asus Maximus VI Hero motherboard has the same supernaturals - it’s unambiguously indicative of those whose nominal robot mode cannot be touched by the motherboard. I'll look at the qiu model I know that I am spontaneously scrutinizing the processor frequency at 200 MHz with multi-threaded navutazhennya. It is important to note that when the parameters are enabled, you can change the standard rules of the Intel Turbo Boost technology in the BIOS of the latest models, you can display such results, and the K OC option on Gigabyte motherboards will allow you to run more tests. ... Launching such a robot mode on other boards, if necessary, is much simpler, and the axis with connections on the "ROG" series model is not very difficult, and this behavior should be seen as a particularly uncomfortable shortcoming. But the Asus Gryphon Z87 model, it is obvious that the short-hour drop in the processor frequency to the nominal low was not significant for the productivity. With typical options, the board demonstrates normal performance, but there is little to be seen from those, but the nominal mode of robotic systems, disputed models is not guaranteed.

Now we are surprised to see the results and demonstrate the systems at the same time adjusting the frequencies of the robot processor and memory. On all the boards, the same parameters were reached - the boost processor up to a frequency of 4.5 GHz when the stress on the cores was fixed at 1.150 V, and the frequency of the robot memory was raised to 2133 MHz with timings of 9-11-11-31-2N profile "XMP".





















When accelerating the processor and adjusting the frequency of the robot memory, the productivity of motherboards appeared to be the same, which was the same. It’s a pity that they didn’t beat the analogous situation when the boards were adjusted with standard adjustments. As a result of the test payment, pay from time to time to change by means of money, but the difference in sales is not great. At the same time, the productivity of the payment Asus Gryphon Z87 does not appear from the others, but when it was overclocked manually, they did not allow the processor to work and the performance did not fall for the options.

Vimiri energy service

The energy management of the systems during the hour of the robot in the nominal mode and during the run-up is carried out with the help of the Extech Power Analyzer 380803. Attach in front of the computer's living unit, in order to ensure that all the monitors are connected to the system itself, including the winder. When living in a calm state, the system doesn’t work, but it’s not easy to get rid of the start-up efficiency and the daily life of the animal to accumulate. The results on diagrams are sorted from growth rates, and the indicators of the Asus Gryphon Z87 model are for the purpose of being visualized by color. However, it is possible that it’s not going to work, there’s a small fee for borrowing positions on the top of the list, but it’s not wonderful, we don’t expect to be pleased with the result.



For the duration of the installation, the small microATX motherboard Asus Gryphon Z87 was able to navigate the traditionally economical motherboard of the Micro-Star company, and only two of the other models were rocked. Judging by the early test results of the larger LGA1150 motherboards, the average for them is 45 W, and a couple of ASUSTeK and Gigabyte motherboards, adjusted for the replacement, are more significant.

It is necessary to say that, with all its shortcomings in the Haswell processors, there is never a lot of demand for the lower power supply in peace, due to the LGA1155 processors. It’s a pity, pay, but to work with the nominal adjustments, they don’t give us the opportunity to do it, and we were given one additional diagram with a mode, we call it "Eco". The same normal robotics mode, if you pay to get the settings for adjustments, you will not have to change all parameters in the BIOS from Auto to Enabled, which may be related to Intel processor power saving technologies.



The price has changed, the results have been reduced, the life of the systems has changed, and the Asus microATX board was already leading, only now it has the best supernick. The Asus Maximus VI Hero model has a fair amount of energy-saving technology, it’s not big, and the payment axis of the Micro-Star company doesn’t change. For the sake of the truth, after the show, the decrease in living was shown, but it didn’t appear even insignificant and didn’t reach 1 W. Zavdyaki look around the model We know how to explain such a wonderful result. MSI board Z87-GD65 GAMING does not allow the inclusion of energy-saving technologies.

About any problem, it’s obvious that a discrete AMD Radeon HD 7970 video card will be installed in the test systems, if you see it and switch to the graphics core integrated into the processor, then the total life of your systems can be less than 30 watts. The economy of Haswell processors is very hostile to the quiet and very attractive, even worse than the Skoda, but the adjustments for the motherboard options do not give us the opportunity to run cold on the fast drive, the BIOS parameter is required manually

In order to assess the typical level of energy management, we passed in the first hour of testing the productivity of systems using the additional programs "Fritz". It is necessary to say that it is not important to say that it’s not important, I’ll use it myself. Practically, whether the program is extraordinary, it will be good to use the robot to lock up all of the processor cores, if you show even closer or find such results.



The board of the ASUSTeK company appeared by one glance, and again there were some reasons for us. The Asus Maximus VI Hero board does not meet the nominal mode of a robotic processor, it’s the frequency, and that is naturally programmed with the motherboards, so that the standard settings are not adjusted.

To get the maximum boost on the Haswell processor, we turned to the "LinX" utility, like a graphical shell to the Intel Linpack test, and the modification of the programs, which we choose to use, was used to calculate the AVX instructions. The program will provide you with a standard solution, but when you do it, the processor does not run with a stream of hot food or we see half of it. As soon as one program can be more secure by the robot and the processor, then it is completely possible, but it is possible. In addition, the stability of the robotized ignition system is inverted, as well as the addition of power to the processor for an hour when the energy is maintained for the additional utilization of "LinX".



Pay the companies Gigabyte and Micro-Star to demonstrate a normal level of power consumption of 130 W, the Asus Maximus VI Hero board sells for the stand-by mode of the processor's robot, and it appears to be a lot of money. However, there is a great difference in the relative size of the motherboards, and do not explain the compactness of the microATX-model, as in the front diagram. On the view of "ROG" series boards, special models of the ASUSTeK company and "TUF" series boards, you can lower the processor frequency if you have a high voltage rating, and that is not because of the efficiency level cleaning. As a result, it is impossible for ASUSTeK LGA1150 motherboards to support the normal operation of the robot system. I also allow it, although it should be nagadati, the provincial motherboard virobnik. Vkray sumno.

It is necessary to add, according to the summarized assessment of the level of energy used by the system of energy, it is necessary to securely lock the video card by the robot, and the result is due to the need. In the tests of the power management of the vicorists, the processor is not available for the power supply, if the power supply is available for the robotic discrete video card AMD Radeon HD 7970 in the games, then the power supply of the system will be up to 200 watts.

Now it is estimated that the energy saving is in case of razgonі systems and vіdnstіnstі navantazhennya.



To navigate at the razgons, it’s as much as possible for all the processor energy saving technologies, so the arrangement will be the same as with the “Eco” bars when the robot is in the nominal mode. The power consumption of Asus and MSI motherboards has not matured, because of the old ASUSTeK models, because of the lack of power saving on the Micro-Star board, but our first glances have shown that there are some robust problems in the middle of Gigabyte motherboards. technology. The Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC model has become the first LGA1150-board, which is more efficient when overclocked, but not in the nominal mode.

When overclocking, the appearance of a new power supply system, not only Gigabyte, but also indiscriminately more, lower than the nominal mode of the robot. Signs are given as a rise in frequency, as well as an increase in pressure. With high power supply options for ASUSTeK and Micro-Star boards, they are approaching, due to the small dimensions and the number of additional controllers, the small Asus microATX board, which was previously based on the Gigabyte OCX87 model





Pislyamova

Asus Gryphon Z87 motherboard - we have tested a microATX form factor model for LGA1150 processors, and it’s not quite similar to a special board of this size. There are not so many models in the format with three PCI Express x16 roses, it is unlikely that we will develop another one, for which there are seven roses for connecting fans, and all the stench is regulated. And there are definitely no models, on the yak it is possible to install a new pokrittya. Nepogane, before the speech, came up with a solution. Whoever needs it, that girly "Gryphon Armor Kit", and the reshta can spare. Regardless of our battle, the small motherboard did not start up when the system was folded. The design of thinking, the ability for greater pay-in-total-sufficiency, the ability to improve the productivity of the typical employees does not come from different models, but the efficiency of the energy saving is better.

It's a pity that the Asus Gryphon Z87 motherboard doesn’t look like any other models of the ASUSTeK company because of its behavior and peculiarities of the robot. Tse typical Asus LGA1150 board recruitment shortcomings, fixing other shortcomings at the start and ending with a change in productivity with high options. There is no need to recommend a customer before the purchase, as if I would like to know the LGA1150-fee of the company. It’s just a bit of a joke, even though the protests of the Asus motherboards on the Intel Z87 logic couldn’t preserve the nominal mode of the robotic system with the standard adjustments. Models of the "ROG" series envy the frequency of the processor, and if they lower them at high ratings, the situation is just boisterous, as it is not possible to try to find it for the ear, but in this case we are talking about the provincial motherboard's motherboard. Besides, we see a lot of minus in ASUSTeK motherboards, the protections of the models are not only foldable, but not necessarily necessary. They may have had few merits, but their own characteristic problems are promoted by the payment of the virobniks. Withering, unaffected for the short-lived, it is necessary to obviate the respect for the Asus Gryphon Z87 model. A lot of little things we can put up with, we can end up resigning ourselves, moreover, I will calm down, but among them there are not many critical ones, since the principle would not be allowed to pay for it. The nature of the model, like and of the pay of the "TUF" series, will delight the owner of the five-star term of the guarantee service, which is just another argument for criminality.

Every day on the market there are more and more decisions based on the new set of system logic Intel Z87 Express. Moreover, the virobniks did not just go on the path of updating the current models of motherboards, but they presented new solutions. For example, it has become the first motherboard, which can be carried to the TUF line, Viconano in the compact microATX format. There is no sense about the value of such a crochet, the evidence from the purchase of the ASUS GRYPHON Z87, as well as from the performance characteristics, is obvious. The new model has the same dimensions as the older ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87 with the dimensions of the microATX format, so that you can use it on the basis of a compact, but productive system with advanced reliability, which was previously introduced by ASUS. Talking about "the advancement of hope", the whole vipad should not be out of the question of the virobnik declared the transfer of the to indirect support of the company's performance from the hopes of their child.

Packaging and set

The packaging of the ASUS GRYPHON Z87 motherboard will increase the appearance of the higher-order version. So, in the decorated vicoristano, there is a black color, and in a different kind of polygraph, it is practically increased throughout the day, behind a vignette to the logo of the TUF series (The Ultimate Force). It is also significant that the logo is evident, since we are talking about the expanded five-fold guarantee that governs all motherboards in the series.

The image of the motherboard itself, the interface panel, as well as the main specifics are on the screen. The upper part describes the keys of the ASUS GRYPHON Z87:

    Thermal Radar 2- the establishment of a great number of temperature sensors, as well as the presence on the textolite of roses for connecting the probes of the multimeter, the coristuvach will remove as much as possible the truthfulness of the information about the threading mill of the system.

    TUF Components- The elementary base of the motherboard is adapted to the highest standards of quality. So, at the warehouse of ASUS GRYPHON Z87 special titanium solid-state capacitors, using a transistor, have passed the independent control of the capacity and converted to conformity to the current standards,

    Server-Grade Reliability Test- the motherboard has passed a special revision of a series of tests that meet the requirements of the standards of reliability, which is visible to the server motherboards. This means that the ASUS GRYPHON Z87 demonstrates even higher stability of the robot to be able to navigate through the trivial settings and to showcase the high temperature and increased visibility.

    USB BIOS Flashback- the koristuvach has the ability to update the BIOS firmware version without any special problems behind the additional flash drive and the type of buttons on the textolite, but not only in the text, I will just forgive the update process, but the guarantor of its security.

The box with ASUS GRYPHON Z87, a ring disk with a PZ, a copy of a keystore and an interface panel plugs, is supplied with:

    chotiri SATA cable;

    certificate of quality;

    a set of ASUS Q-Connectors, as it is possible to lay down the process of connecting the front panel to the PC case;

    2-way SLI міст.

The ASUS GRYPHON Z87 maintenance kit is already old and, in principle, it will be quite enough for a problem-free installation and operation of a PC.

Design and features pay

As for my older sister, the ASUS GRYPHON Z87 motherboard is not modestly equipped with a plastic "armor" and is visually appealing. Yak bachite, won the viconana up to TUF standards for textolite black color. At the same time, this cooling system is boiled in brown color, which in general is similar to the army ekipiruvannyam.

If the ASUS GRYPHON Z87 can be easily configured, then, on the modest size of the microATX textolite (244 x 244 mm), ASUS engineers were able to distribute all the elements on the optimum for them. I am not very happy with any claims, but obviously it’s difficult when the PC is folded and it’s in use.

Well, up to the casing, then you can add okremo. Set Gryphon Armor Kit shipped in packs of one-size-fits-all motherboard and chimali, to our dummy, 50 US dollars. From the side, the purchase of the set given to the beginning of the overhaul:

    Thermal Armor- The system of cooling is active, as for the help of a special search, installed on all surfaces of the textolite, generating new streams, direct to the cooling of key universities, pay.

    TUF Fortifier- a special plate is installed on the back of the motherboard;

    Dust defender- the set of the Gryphon Armor Kit contains a set of plugs for all ports and expansion slots, so that the saw is available.

The resulting Gryphon Armor Kit includes two protective covers, a fan for cooling the power elements of the board, a set of plugs for accessing expansion slots and ports from the saw, and three temperature sensors for connecting the motherboard to the motherboard ports.

The main elements of the Gryphon Armor Kit are, obviously, two protective casings. For an analogue from ASUS GRYPHON Z87, one, vikonaniy from plastic, curling the motherboard from the face side, only the other, once again, metal, grabbing from the vigin and evil side of the textolite. The whole design is selected in one aim behind the addition of seven guints.

Okremo meaningfully, there is a dielectric applied to the metal casing, like a textolite from electrostatic devices.

Turning around before looking at the motherboard, obviously, the reverse side of the textolite does not have any significant elements on its own, behind the vignette of the base plate of the processor rose and decal elements of the module for stabilizing the vivification.

The lower part of the board has a socket for connecting an audio rose to the front panel, S / PDIF out, a socket for connecting a system fan, a jumper for removing a CMOS, a TPM port, and two pads for connecting a USB 2.0 port. The board has implemented support for eight USB 2.0 ports, both internal and external (on the interface panel). The robot of all eight interfaces is implemented by the chipset. Also, the ASUS GRYPHON Z87 model for the additional rose TB_HEADER can be equipped with an expansion card with Thunderbolt ports, but it is not required, but rather special.

Close to the right edge of the textolite, the textolite has been removed for connecting the front panel, one more rose for connecting the system fan, a button for quick update of the BIOS firmware, a rose for connecting temperature sensors, as well as the DirectKey button, for which you can also access Motherboard BIOS. Zavdyakov rose DRCT, koristuvach can turn on the button to access the BIOS and winesti, for example, on the front panel of the case.

Another common feature of ASUS GRYPHON Z87 is the ability to replace microcircuits with BIOS firmware without additional help service center For the sake of completing it, simply fix the microcircuit with a rose and replace it with a new one.

At the right one pay, parallel to the surface of the textolite, there are a number of SATA 6 Gb / s ports. The robot's kitchen is secured by the Intel Z87 Express chipset. The presence of an array of SATA RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10 arrays. In total, the ASUS GRYPHON Z87 has implemented six USB 3.0 ports: two internal and one on the interface panel. The robot of all ports is implemented by the Intel Z87 Express chipset.

The ASUS GRYPHON Z87 motherboard is equipped with a choice of DIMM slots for installing DDR3 standard RAM modules, which are more efficiently possessed by sucking from one side. Operational memory can be used for dual-channel mode. To implement the modules, you need to install either in the first and third or in the other and fourth slots. Modules can be used to operate at frequencies from 1066 to 1600 MHz in the nominal mode, and from 1866 MHz in the range of the razgon. The maximum memory space can be up to 32 GB, which is practical enough for any kind of factory. It is also significant that the MemOK button is visible, as it automatically allows the parameters of the memory modules to be automatically configured for the display of possible confrontational situations.

The cooling system can be stored in three aluminum radios: one heat input from the Intel Z87 Express chipset, while two of them are used to transfer heat to the MOSFET chip for thermal efficiency, to provide heat efficiency. Try three radios to be attached to additional guints. During the testing process, the temperature of the radiators did not exceed 36.4 ° C, which is a good result.

Roztashuvannya processor ros'mu lured motherboards with urahuvannya chipsets Intel Z77 Express and Intel Z87 Express. The processor lives up to the 8-phase scheme for the numerical cores of the secondary universities.

Itself reimagined the settings on the ASP1251 PWM controller from the Digi + energy management system. As we have already spoken on the cob of our material, the ASUS company has a special emphasis on the high quality of the elementary basis of the ASUS GRYPHON Z87 motherboard. Judge for ourselves, titanium solid capacitors, polovi transistors, reversals of independent companies, have passed, as well as reduced throttles of high hopes. All the same, as well as the presence of an expanded five-fold guarantee, gives us hope for a trivial and trouble-free operation of ASUS GRYPHON Z87. Significantly, for the life of the novelty, the main 24-pin and additional 8-pin rose are used.

The specs of the ASUS GRYPHON Z87 motherboard should be placed in a compact microATX format, then for the expansion of the functionality, there are several available slots. Yak bachimo, є three slots for installing PCI-Express x16 graphics adapters. Two of them are connected to the processor and run between 16 lines of the PCI Express 3.0 standard. The third slot, in its own right, has connections to the chipset, apparently, according to the PCI Express 2.0 standard. When several video cards are installed, the following circuits will be distributed according to the following schemes: x16, x8 + x8, x8 + x8 + x4, moreover, the remaining options are only possible when three video cards are installed from AMD, when the NVIDIA SLI mode is passed through the 3 Way company. x4.

Also, the expansion of the functionality of the motherboard is possible for one PCI-Express 2.0x1 slot, which can be connected to a chipset.

If you saw the speed of the graphics core integrated into the CPU, then your ordered two HDMI and DVI-D video outputs, the function of which and switching between them work with the help of the ASMedia ASM 14 microcircuit.

Multi I / O capabilities are secured with the NUVOTON NCT6791D microcircuit, as the system fan robots and monitoring are not provided.

For the support of hemstitching, there is a large LAN controller Intel WGI217V.

The sound system of the motherboard, which can be viewed, is based on the 8-channel HDA codec Realtek ALC892, which can be used for audio systems in 2/4 / 5.1 / 7.1 formats. I will not be able to reproduce lossless audio with a sampling rate of 192 KHz and a separate building of 24 bits.

On the interface panel of the ASUS GRYPHON Z87 model, the following ports are available:

  • 1 x Optical S / PDIF;

    6 x audio ports.

The configuration of the interface panel is largely due to the positive assessment of the presence of a great number of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, manual connection of a wide range of channel acoustics, as well as the presence of HDMI video outputs However, as for the ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87, potential buyers of ASUS GRYPHON Z87 will have problems with connecting analog monitors.

ASUS GRYPHON Z87 motherboard is equipped with a variety of roses for connecting fans. Two of them serve for cooling the CPU, for connecting the system fans, and for connecting the fan, which is included in the Gryphon Armor Kit. All roses, except for the last one, may be 4-contact vikonannya.

UEFI BIOS

The motherboard ASUS GRYPHON Z87 vikoristovuєє On the head screen of the UEFI BIOS, temperature monitoring is displayed and on the lines of the processor. You can also look at the BIOS version, the processor model and the amount of RAM for a whole lot.

The linkage of the system and the adjustment can be found in the "Ai Tweaker" contributor.

Multiple memory frequencies allow you to set the frequency from 800 to 3200 MHz.

Also, for consumption, it is possible to provide access to the memory of the memory.

Followed by the senior representative of the TUF series for Haswell processors - Sabertooth Z87 - until our laboratory was consumed by a young board - Gryphon Z87. Vona is designated for more economical koristuvachіv, for those who do not consume a number of expansion slots from vicoriannі, and even to the reliability of components it is infinitely placed in the basis. Here, too, the Thermal Radar 2 technology is not forgotten, as it is clicked to ensure the proper cooling of the system components. To make the price cheaper, the technology from the list of TUF-products - Dust Defender - was included in the list of options. In other words, in the basic set of the Thermal Armor and in the accessories, as for the bazhanny, you can add an okremo.


The functionality of this product is innocently modest for the implementation of such a level. Effortless elements - a basic set of be-a-funky pay. Be-like third-party controllers of the day. However, the sheer power of the Z87 is just enough for today's realities.

Packaging and set

Thermal Armor and fitted accessories are fitted to a product called the Gryphon Armor Kit, which costs between $ 50.


The decoration of both Viconano boxes in a single strict style, not overwhelmed by advertising extinguishers and pictograms. We will give a few words about the five-fold term of the interconnected guarantee.


Zvorotna part of the box, see the picture, the photo of the rear panel and the table with the main characteristics, which are exactly indicated models of the sound and mesh adapters. Advertising information has opened that part of the concept of The Ultimate Force, as it is implemented here. The entire daytime part was mounted on the boxes of the Armor Kit. Krim photos didn’t forget about the distribution of a very important table, they indicated a list of everything that should be included before the set.


The set includes: two Thermal Armor plates, plastic plugs for all internal and external ports, three wine thermocouples, one three-stage fan and a saw filter, a whirlwind, instructions for installation.


In the іnshіy box, on the edge of the motherboard, there are:
  • a reader of a koristuvach, in which it is illustrated in detail and described by the paragraph of UEFI (English language);
  • DIY Guide QR-code, which is added to the official site side, the presentation of the instructions for installing the PC has been de-distributed;
  • documents about the mind of the interconnected five-star guarantee;
  • certificate of quality (reliability) of TUF-components;
  • disk with drivers and formatted ПЗ;
  • sticker with the company logo;
  • a cover for the body, supplemented with a sticker in black tones from the symbolic designations of the nests;
  • chotiri cables SATA 6Gb / s, two wired with G-small rose on one wedge;
  • one nasty place for organizing SLI from two video cards;
  • set of connectors for manual connection of ASUS Q-Connectors case roses.

Zovnishny viglyad

Pay to comply with mATX standards. The handlebar from the processor socket is located in the largest single PCI-E x16 slot. It can be added to the confusion due to the oversized CPU cooling systems.


Zvorotny bik is practical for adding elements. A small group was blasted around the VRM processor zones. With such a rank of engineering, they made a place on the face for a quick installation of the fan.


Chipset will cool down with a massive radiator, we will fix it until you pay for additional spring gvints.


SATA sockets all the way, all the stinks are spaced out in pairs on the PCB.


At the lower right kut, the DirectKey and BIOS Flashback buttons were flashed. There are also roses for connecting wine thermocouples.


MemOK button! to be found at the behest of her mission, but very close to the nests of the operational memory.


In one row - bridles of the lower edges - loose pads for connecting the periphery. The configuration of the extended slots is classic, and for organizing the connection from two video cards, there are slots, one for one, but one for one.


All sockets for connecting fans are located at the edges of the plate, so that they can be snapped up with a victorian.


The power supply system of the processor is eight-phase. Vona is identical to that of the Z87-Plus.


Only the cooling of the power elements is more significant. The back of the heat pipe is the same, plus the back area of ​​the radiator is obviously bigger.


The power subsystem is unaffected by its "modest" characteristics in general, but there were no problems with the analogous VRM on the mobile product.


Similar to the rear panel is minimal, there is not a lot of interesting, all the necessary roses for a modern system at a time in a good number.


As for the Armor Kit, the installation is painless.


The fan roztashuvannya the same, as in the main product of the TUF series - without the middle for the processor's radio system.


The installation of the saw filter is not rigid. Yogo victoriousness can be destroyed by accident, but within the framework of the concept of Dust Defender, it is a non-uniform attribute of the selected system.


The mounting of the Thermal Armor does not solve problems when installing cooling systems in a set of standard areas of the heating plate.


At the end of the distribution of the photo of the rear panel in the complex with the Armor Kit.

UEFI features

The procedure for updating the microcode for the additional utility of EZ Flash went through without problems.


The most famous EZ Mode features are also familiar to our regular readers from the Sabertooth Z87.


In the new version of the menu, it is now possible to set the exact date and hour, activate the XMP profile in the form of a set of operational memory, select one of the ready scripts for kervans by fans. On top of that, basic information about the components of the system and the mode of robotics is available here, as well as the priority of enticing attachments available to management.


More fine settings in Advanced Mode.


After looking around the Advanced submenu, a lot of adjustments have been made to all the components in the system.


CPU Configuration is a pre-requisite information about the CPU, so you can be victorious, you can change the number of active cores.



The CPU Power Manager Configuration tab provides access to Turbo Boost and power saving scenarios for the robot processor.


On the adjusted chipset, it is possible to intercept the robot mode PCI-E ports, reducing the throughput capacity.


The SATA attachments can still be operated in slick IDE mode.


System Agent Configuration allows you to send audio streams through the DVI port, update the multi-monitor configurations, set the priority for pre-assigning the middle of video adapters, and allow the bandwidth of PCI-E x16.


You can organize the sound on HDMI inputs on the HD Audio Controller.


ErP settings are located at the APM branch.


Let's move on to the Monitor distribution. Here you can find data about the dynamic springs in the system, the turnover of all seven fans, as well as the vibration of the profiles with the scenarios of the robotics.


Beast on myself I respect the item called Fan Overtime, which allows the robot to adjust the fans to display the system (moving in the pre-screening field about two) with the help of seeing too much warm over the case.

Oskіlki the board doesn’t fit the power button, this role can be changed to DirectKey, so that you can add any changes that are available in the Boot distribution.


You can also vibrate the display mode of the UEFI menu for promos.


The CSM module continues to be included for a shorter amount of time. UEFI-zavantazhuvach for deactivating deactivations - inclusions are more loyal, so we can accept third-party (Legacy) OS.


Setting up the victorious keys for security is available from the Secure Boot menu.


The Tool razdіlі has tools that allow: save the profile with adjustments in one out of eight slots (or for a call-up accumulator) from the factory owners with a whole set of tweaks, update firmware, look over the modules.




Now we are using the main UEFI distribution - Ai Tweaker. We didn’t bother to think of it as an increase, for example, on the same high-end motherboards - Sabertooth Z87 and Z87-Plus.


For the ear of the overclock procedure, you need to change the value of the Ai Overclock Tuner field. In addition to the manual mode, the options are available, if the XMP memory profile is selected, it will reduce the number of crocs for the fine adjustment of the system.



The first to go through the components, click for help at the highest reference frequency.


For nalashtuvannya frequency formula The CPU needs to be used in a way to achieve the highest value. You can set a multiplier, one of all the cores, be it a type of customization, or try to increase the frequency more than three times the rate of individual multipliers to the skin for types of customization like Turbo Boost.



The highest operating memory frequency can be 3200 MHz at a base frequency of 100 MHz.


Configuring the memory of the memory of the bagat.


The main list with parameters will fix the points of the automatic acceleration of the system and transfer to the mode of reduced energy management.


The settings for the processor's pid systems and the memory shared by the DIGI + server go to the list. Last time, testing ASUS Z87-Plus, we didn't need to get involved in the robot.


Behind them, go the fine tuning of the CPU Power Manager regulator installed in the CPU.


Stay in the Ai Tweaker distribution, display the fields with significant amounts of money at the small universities of the CPU and pay as a whole. The meanings are absolutely identical to those of the Z87-Plus.


CPU power control is also available in three different ways: Offset, Adaptive and Manual.


All important parameters are added up to a single table:

Parameter Adjustment range Croc
BCLK Frequency (MHz) 80-300 0,1
PLL Selection Auto / LC PLL / SB PLL
Filter PLL Auto / Low BCLK Mode / High BCLK Mode

Max. CPU Graphics Ratio (Multiplier) 8 (by CPU) -60 1
CPU Graphics Voltage Override (V) 0,001-1,92 0,001

Nagadayumo, now all the changes can be checked before the residual savings and overloading of the system.


Spiraling on the identical capabilities of VRM and UEFI as well as the Ai Tweaker of the Z87-Plus boards and the current one - Gryphon Z87 - it is possible to allow the repeated results of overclocking our intelligence Core i5-4670K, and to see, perhaps, the performance, the test result is identical

Complete set PZ

The design is in place of a CD, which is a supervised product, which cannot be seen in any special way.


The victorian ASUS InstAll will pass without any problems - we will see a list of drivers and drivers, the middle ones, which are necessary for us. Let the master independently create the installation without using dialogue windows.

The AI ​​Suite of the third revision is included in its own set of utilities, which allows you to maximize the potential for paying by the way of fine adjustment of flexible modules, which are changed to new ones. The installation is displayed in the visible mode so that it is possible to see all the parts of the utilities that are not needed for the corystuvach.


Warehouse that zovnishniy viglyad Absolutely bezbіgayutsya with such іf look around Sabertooth Z87.


The central place at the main window of the complex has been introduced with pictograms of additional utilities, in the middle of the houses Thermal Radar 2. The lower part is filled in good information, scho get out of the sensors of the payment. There are three thermocouples installed on the board, three more thermocouples are supplied with the Gryphon Armor Kit.


The first tab - Thermal Tuning - allows the robot to adjust all cooling systems. For the whole message of the onslaught of the laconic button "Cob", the maister is launched.


For the selection of optimal cooling algorithms, all fans must be connected and correctly specified. Shchepravda, tsim go to the third item of the Fan Control menu.


It is there itself that all the tools are provided, but also the correct schematic numbering of the coolants and the general editing of the scenarios of the robots.


I will repeat the procedure for selecting and adjusting the ASUS Z87-Plus in the past, but here it is more identical. Yak butt vikoristovuvsya three-pin 120 mm fan, connections to the socket CHA_FAN1.


As long as all the fans are plugged in and correctly represented, the system can be rotated to Thermal Tuning to automatically adjust the robot.


It takes an hour to get a "passport" for the skin, and moreover, it takes one visit.



Now you can add authoritative correctives to the completed scenarios of the robot.



So two scenarios are available - automatic Smart Mode and RPM Mode, in which it is fixed on the singing level until the temperature goes beyond 75 ° C. Obviously, there is a whole lot of ways to go about the temperature of the processor.


For the automatic mode, the flow rate can be adjusted to the total temperature by changing the choice of (up to) three temperature sensors and the importance of the skin from them in the high temperature range. For dermal ventilators, different indicators and specific sensors are also assigned according to the specifications.


If you want to see all the adjustments, it is rational to go to a friend's Thermal Status tab. Here you can carry out an assessment of the changes, like launching with a single button Assessment.


The procedure for setting up a rogue trocha, or at the same hour of such a functional and nearly no match for competing products.



Finishing looking around the software part, we cannot but reconsider the correctness of the information about the system, available from the AI ​​Suite 3. Everything appeared in a new order. Possibility of a set of operational memory, the type of processor, and the version of the firmware of the self-payment was valid.

Retail potential

The additional VRM design and the UEFI Gryphon Z87 and Z87-Plus capabilities will make us think about the uniqueness of all the benefits of the automatic system overclocking. We looked at the "motherboard" of not a few mechanical remixes that were installed on the board;

When activating the first item Ratio First, we repeated the previous results. The processor started up at a frequency of 4.0 GHz with a load of 1.24 V. The Uncore frequency did not outweigh its nominal value of 3.8 GHz, operative memory Functionality behind the XMP-profile.


For vipadkіv carrying out the implementation of the scenarios of the robots, the CPU quickly changes. The stress dropped below the level of 1.17, and the frequency steadily varied between the values ​​of 4.1 and 4.0 GHz. Let's get tired of the values ​​of 4038 MHz.


In simpler energy-saving technologies, they functioned in general: the processor frequency was reduced, and the springs were reduced.


The offensive scenario - BCLK First - again repeating the development of the pod. Whenever there was an option to install the CPU, the CPU frequency became 4.126 GHz with a load on the cores of 1.17 V, the Uncore part of the function was reduced by three times lower than the nominal 3750 MHz, the reference frequency was 125 MHz. In simple cases, the multiplier is reduced to the minimum, and the ball is fixed to the same position. The memory robot was once again based on the XMP profile.




Moving on to serious experiments. The base frequency was extended to 189.1 MHz.



There are no problems with the maximum accessibility of the 4747 MHz CPU frequency for our stand. The strain was fixed at the level of 1.285 W. The frequency of the "pivnichny bridge" of the driveway was 4.444 GHz.

Test stand

No change to the stand at the warehouse:

In the OS, there are booleans: UAC, download file, firewall and Windows Defender. No new anti-tier products have been installed, nor have they been installed finely. Improved OS upgrades, available for download via Windows Update, have been installed.

As a father-in-law vikoristov, the following additions were made:

  • AIDA64 3.00 (Cache & Memory benchmark);
  • Futuremark PCMark 8 (for Microsoft Office 2013 Standard);
  • Futuremark 3DMark 13;
  • World in Conflict: Soviet Assault;

Test results

An hour spent in experiments to boost the systems came up against the inadvertent fact of incorrect Turbo Boost robots. In the normal mode, pay the behavior was even similar. With awkward settings, the CPU frequency was constantly changing, moreover, for more than an hour, it was overloaded to the 3.6 GHz cordon. That is, without an excess, you can talk about the actual CPU frequency of 3.6 GHz for any type of installation.












Іgrovі programs allow Gryphon Z87 to play with the protagonist Z87-Plus; The lowest level of productivity has appeared in the middle of the protests on the date of motherboards.

Energy saving systems

Vimiryuvannya was tested in order to pass all the tests in the "tired" mode of the computer with the additional addition of Luxeon AVS-5A. The technique had a medium-important value in fixing the test stand "from the outlet" for an hour of passing the Prime95 test due to the availability of the In-place large FFTs profile, as well as when the computer was idle after the test was completed.


The whole product appeared to be the most economical middle, who took the fate of our eyes. Singingly, such a result was accepted by the presence of third-party controllers on the board.

Activation of the energy-saving EPU profile reduces the cost of payment by 5 W to 82-154 W, while saving the Turbo Boost function for your unassuming viewer.

The hour for the maximum acceleration of the power supply is fixed at 88-242 W.

Visnovok

For the admission of students at the correct key, it is necessary to provide a complete audit, for which there is a charge. At the right place, there is a need for components, correct for a robot, and that means minimal heating, without tools, which is the reason for the motherboard for improving the term and operation. All the qualities of the Gryphon Z87. Vikoristannya elementnoї base wiklikє play the trivial life of the payment, the Thermal Radar 2 software complex, spiraling on the display of numerical temperature sensors, allowing the keruvati with the fans of the computer to bring the same product to the market.

To change the performance of the Thermal Armor mATX solution, the addition of the Dust Defender technology has been added to the premium product Gryphon Armor Kit. In such a rank, the price to pay is equal to $ 165. At the same hour, the chastkovo vidmova, in the form of a popular product of The Ultimate Force series, did not infuse a guarantee with the terms of 5 rockets.

Third-party controllers became the price of the maximum price, such as a get-it-clean fee. From the іnshy side, so come in with a friendly slug on the residual level of energy management.

If you pay a short amount of money, you can write down the wrong robot of the Turbo Boost technology, but if you have an adequate test, you will get results up to a final rating. The availability of PCI ports does not allow the speed of the old inverted sound card. About the quality of the sound generated by the sound, here is the simplest codec of the Realtek company - ALC892. A whole lot of decent products were used on this basis. It’s impossible to say anything about the Gryphon Z87, which sounds like a shorter sound in a new bazar. Vibir of Profiles "Navigators" or "Nastilny Stereodynamics", ymovіrno, active deyakі profіlі, who poklikanі wrestled with the sounds of the sound; ale tse zavazha the correct sound. Well, for the light-hearted koristuvachіv the sound of such a quality, maybe, it will be quite enough.

The board made me happy with its stability and transmission. And all the same, since the form factor of the product does not appear to you in a viral role, it is more respectable for the more functional model from ASUS - Z87-Plus.
