C2 stepping on Z87?

C2 stepping on Z87?
« on: August 19, 2013, 08:54:01 pm »
Has Gigabyte released C2 stepping version motherboards yet? Their customer support people are clueless on what this even is so no point in going through their support. I was looking to get the GA-Z87MX-D3H, but I want to make sure the C2 revision on the southbridge is out.

Believe they have, but it's not mentioned in the naming.

Seeing shops wanna get rid of C1 first you might wanna wait a couple of months, unless they wanna sell you a specific C2 board.

Is there any updating about the C2 stepping?

I want to buy a GA-Z87X-UD4H but I must be more than sure that Gigabyte has released the motherboard with the new chipset C2.


A direct answer from someone of Gigabyte would be really appreciated.


I also contacted the Gigabyte support but I only received unuseful answers... :-[

It's really incredible that Gigabyte does not care of their own customers, I do not have any more words to spend on this. That's just ridiculous.

Bye  >:(

My thought exactly mate!  Every other major motherboard vendor has already explained to their customers on how to distinguish between C1 and C2 steppings except Gigabyte... I guess they just don't want us to buy their products.

Yes they are not caring customers. Could you please tell me 1 thing. On my recent windows server 2008 R2 with I7 4th generation process Z87M-D3H has some problem in running the drivers like Audio and HD graphics related.. Could you please check my post.
