CPU-Z Renders GIGABYTE's 8 GHz Alder Lake Overclocking Record Invalid

[eidairaman1]

Granted their marketing is terrible and their recent PSU issues.

They have made some really great products over the years from GPUs to Motherboards.
Many of there products reviewed here on TPU are generally positive.

Don't let one or two bad incidents label the entire brand has negative or bad.

Idk, They haven't had anything worth writing home about since early 990FX chipset boards. Same for MSI since the Dragon/Leo platforms.

It's sad the company would resort to such tactics for publicity.

Because they suck

Different people have different views on the matter which are limited to their own experiences.

I have always been a huge fan of ASUS. From the day they launch the Striker extreme I was hooked bought everything new that came out. Striker II extreme then Rampage 3 etc
right upto the Crosshair IV Hero which one day decided to throw up code 8 not 08 for no reason at all. I hardly even OC'd the thing.

Dead Striker Extreme Mobo
Dead Striker II mobo
Faulty Rampage III extreme mobo sound stopped working then LAN issues
Dead Crosshair IV Hero (Last Asus board I ever bought)
Oh and the Asus GTX 1070 SLi setup both GPUs had the RGB lights fail. (factory fault with these RGB tubes)

I have a Gigabyte Dual BIOS 875P from my P4 days that sill runs today.
Have 3 X 980 Ti G1s from them still run perfectly fine.
Almost every single Msi motherboard I have bought still works today. I have only had 1 failure out of maybe 12 boards that I own.
Msi Z77 GD65 (My pride and Joy) I have done terrible things to this board and it still posts like clockwork.
Msi Z87 GD65 still going strong in my brothers daily gaming rig

Currenly using a MSi B450M Mortar MAX which OC'd my 1700X to 4025Mhz and the Asus Crosshair IV Hero only did 3900Mhz.

Not the first time he has done this

If at first you don't succeed...

Yep, I too have also had mobo and GPU's from them over the years. But these days I and MSI for mobo's and don't have GPU brand loyalty for the most part other than avoid poorly built product (Im looking at you Zotac with your AMP series).

If you are referring to the original PR of GIGABYTE record, it is still up as a good reference. Was news at the time, and treated as such.

Thats the point we were all making, it wasn't news and had already been rebuffed by derb8uer on YT. You guys were way...... behind the news cycle on this one.

But I see you guys have post news that CPU'z have rendered thier B$ claim invalid - https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...ing-record-invalid.288839/page-2#post-4647031

Maybe Gigabyte are deliberately trying to brand themselves as bad boys of PC world?

We da gangsta!

Our PSUs are exploding? We'll blast you ass off!

You got us at faking overclocking record? We swindling!

 

[ratirt]

It was not Gigabyte doing this but I'm sure they would have not thrown aside the good marketing that would have come with it if it was legit.
With that mistake you can always claim you didn't know there was a bug

 

[Baum]

absolutley fitting within their powersupply issues.. burn/scam customers and run

why attempt to post fake numbers?

 

[chispy]

This is how you propperly do a cpuz wr validation , live feed an event with lots of media and people , thousands of people watching every second of it and voila ... I miss the old days when most people were more honest ! Macci and Chew were te kings back then , good old times.

 

[qubit]

Hang on, major tech company inflates performance figures to appear better than the competition and hence boost sales? No, no, I refuse to believe it. Sorry.

I'm just going back under this nice rock now.

Yeah, you could have bought one from Asus instead, who abused and threatened to sue Hardware Unboxed for pointing out the major flaws of the TUF Gaming A15 laptop. Or MSI, who try to bribe reviewers and scalp their own products. Or ASRock, who flipped out over people noting that their Z490 boards were crap and blacklisted a bunch of outlets, including Gamers Nexus.

You might as well accept you're going to be buying from scummy companies no matter what you do if you're into building PCs.

Poor VRM Quality, top chipset with lower features than some mid chipset boards, crappy support/warranty. I've had so many issues with This brand that I've just given up on it, the day this mobo fails me again i'll burn it down and buy another from whatever brand, it can't possibly be worst.

Well, that's nothing else that bad luck.
I am a huge fan of Asus ( Motherboards )
and have owned so many of them that i can tell you the exact amount, no Asus Motherboard has ever died on me and never had any kind of issue.
You're like a friend of mine who every time he bought an Asus Motherboard or died on him or had issues to a point he gave up and changed brand.

The main point I was getting at, is not that I think ASUS sucks.

You had a great reliability with ASUS boards another person may have not.
I had the great reliability with MSi or Gigabyte while someone else did not.

There is no reason to praise one brand over the other or call out any brand and say they suck because its not the same for everyone.

This same applies to the whole Intel vs AMD or the Windows vs Mac debate and so on. People opinions are limited to their own experience which is not the same for everyone.

And if all of us liked the same things we would all be dating the same chick.

I know about Msi Dragon and Msi leopard laptops. Did Gigabyte have something similar?
