G1 Gaming Z97 ATX Motherboard

The GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 revision 1.0 is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z97 chipset for LGA 1150 processors. It supports Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron CPUs and provides four 240-pin slots for dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 32 GB.

Suited to LGA 1150 builders and upgraders

This board fits builders assembling a new LGA 1150 system or upgrading an existing Z97 platform. Users who require a newer CPU socket or a different memory type should select a motherboard designed for that platform.

Single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot at x16

The primary PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot runs at full x16 electrical speed for a single graphics card. A second x16-sized slot operates at x4 and shares bandwidth with the three x1 slots, limiting multi-GPU expansion.

Highlights

  • Supports up to 32GB DDR3 memory across four slots
  • PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot runs at full x16 for graphics
  • Additional PCI Express x16 slot at x4 shares bandwidth with x1 slots
  • Realtek ALC1150 audio provides 7.1-channel output
  • M.2 connector accepts 2242, 2260 and 2280 SATA and PCIe SSDs

Questions about this item

What DDR3 memory speeds does the GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 rev 1.0 support for the four 240-pin slots?

The board runs DDR3 at 1333, 1600, 1800, 1866, 2000, 2133, 2200, 2400, 2500, 2600, 2666, 2800, 2933, 3000, 3100 and up to 3200 when overclocked across its four slots for a 32 GB maximum in dual-channel mode.

If I keep a PCI Express 2.0 x1 card, will it still work when I add a device in the PCIEX4 slot?

Installing a PCIe x4 card in the PCIEX4 slot disables all three PCI Express x1 slots because they share bandwidth, so the older x1 card would no longer function.

How can I confirm the Realtek ALC1150 audio is delivering 7.1-channel output after setup?

Open the Realtek audio console in Windows, select 7.1-channel in the speaker configuration tab and run the built-in speaker test; each of the eight channels should play a distinct tone.
