If you want a product that delivers satisfactory performance in all areas of play and work, Intel Core i7-14700 processor and GIGABYTE B760M AORUS ELITE PC Direct We recommend a combination.
Among the 14th generation CPUs, it is the only i7 lineup product with special modifications that allow you to feel the difference in performance, and the GIGABYTE B760M AORUS ELITE PC Direct motherboard, equipped with solid power supply and various functions, show the full display. i7 processor performance.
｜ Key product features
The reason we recommend the i7-14700 processor is because it is the only 14th generation product that shows a significant performance difference compared to the previous generation. Other line products have only changed their names, but the i7 line shows better performance in the work area with 4 E-Cores and 3MB of L3 Cache, and provides the best gaming environment through clock increase of 5.4 Ghz.
This is the GIGABYTE B760M AORUS ELITE PC Direct motherboard that will be repaired with it. The hawk-shaped logo is nicely printed, and the standard M-ATX PCB is filled with various components. It is an attractive product with an elegant yet strong appearance.
Power supply arrangement
12+1+1 phase power supply
onsemi NCP81530R PWM Controller
onsemi NCP302155 55 A Dr.Mos (720A) MOSFET power supply
That’s why the GIGABYTE B760M AORUS ELITE PC Direct motherboard was designed for use with the i7-14700. It is equipped with a powerful Dr.Mos power supply and is complete with an emotional design and several additional functions. The price is also the cheapest among similar products. The i7 Non K lineup and all lower products can be covered with just one GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE.
PCIe slot management with EZ-Latch function for user convenience
As the size of the graphics card increases, it becomes more difficult to separate, but there are guides on the outside like deer horns, so the graphics card can be removed easily. These small features made using the product more enjoyable.
exquisitely designed chipset heatsink
The flashback function is also supported, but the button is in an unusual position inside the motherboard. RGB and system fan terminals are also visible. Additional functions are also faithfully supported.
In fact, the back has an integrated I/O shield design. Scalability is also good.
｜ System configuration
The GIGABYTE B760M AORUS ELITE PC Direct motherboard has a solid power supply that allows up to i7 Non K processors to be used without problem. However, the i7-14700 requires a cooler due to the large number of cores and high clock speeds. The test system was assembled with an entry-level 3-row water cooler and was able to be assembled without any problems.
Check UEFI BIOS
It is a UEFI BIOS environment that features a very elegant design. It is divided into easy mode and advanced mode, and detailed system settings can be made for each item.
The intuitive design made setting up system fans very easy. This is a way to drag the dots on the graph with the mouse and position them according to the user’s choice.
Although it doesn’t support overclocking, it does provide a Loadline Calibration function so you can set power limits. Even if performance is not fully used, power consumption and temperature can be reduced by using the above functions in sufficient conditions.
It also provides an image function for memory overclocking. The settings are set based on the Hynix model, and it is recommended that you try each setting one by one and use the values that work consistently. Detailed RAM timings are also set to some extent, so I thought this would be a very useful feature for those new to overclocking.
The fact that Gigabyte BIOS is inconvenient is now a thing of the past. It provides a sophisticated and intuitive design and various functions to satisfy a variety of users.
It has a high level of integrity.
｜Performance Testing
We installed the Windows 11 Pro operating system and used the memory image function to set the memory clock to 6800 and perform the test.
With 20 cores and 28 threads, the multiplayer score was very high. Of course, the single score is also good.
This is the output of the CINEBENCH benchmark which may include rendering performance. Like CPU Z, the multi-score is impressive. This product shows that it is optimized for video editing and rendering.
This is the PCMARK10 product that can include overall PC performance. He recorded the highest score. It proves to be a PC that can be used in many ways.
CPU blender render test
The portion was completed in 1 minute and 13.84 seconds. The basic performance is excellent, but the encoding and decoding benefits are significant in an environment where the built-in graphics are installed and the quick sync function is used. If you focus on video editing and rendering, I think the 14700 processor is a good choice.
What is it like in a gaming environment? These are the 3D Mark bench results. A legendary level was achieved in an environment using the same graphics card. This means that it brings out the performance of the graphics card very well, and if you use the i7-14700 processor, you can use the currently released RTX4090 graphics card without a big obstacle .
These are real game test results.
Average frame rate: 261.0 FPS
Minimum frame rate: 193.6 FPS
Maximum frame rate: 301.3 FPS
1% low framerate: 187.2 FPS
0.1% low frame rate: 162.3 FPS
Average frame rate: 242.9 FPS
Minimum frame rate: 206.6 FPS
Maximum frame rate: 272.8 FPS
1% low framerate: 169.0 FPS
0.1% low frame rate: 134.3 FPS
Average frame rate: 86.7 FPS
Minimum frame rate: 77.1 FPS
Maximum frame rate: 110.2 FPS
1% low frame rate: 71.8 FPS
0.1% low frame rate: 60.6 FPS
We tested with three games, and thanks to the high-clock CPU, the graphics load level was kept high, and we were able to determine a good frame rate maintenance even though an entry-level graphics card was used. You can see that it is a very good configuration for gaming purposes as well.
｜GIGABYTE B760M AORUS ELITE Direct PC User Review
