00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,000
today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the ASUS p8p 67 Pro so the

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:13,000
pro um well for quite a few Generations

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,680
now since kind of the p45 P35 days has

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,080
really represented a fantastic value and

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,960
usually means dual Graphics support so why don't we dig a little bit further

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:27,160
into this one and find out what it has to offer so first we have the most

7
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:32,040
precise Digi plus vrm so that means digital voltage regulation we have

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:37,160
Bluetooth built in in as well as USB 3.0 built in it has a ufi BIOS which means

9
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:42,280
you have full Mouse control over the BIOS versus the older style where you

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,520
use only the keyboard to input we have

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,719
SATA 2 or SATA 2 SATA 3 6 gbit per

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,199
second ports on this particular board over here we find out just what kind of

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:55,920
a board this is so it features the Intel p67 chipset which means you have full

14
00:00:53,399 --> 00:01:03,079
support for the Intel Core i5 core I3 and core i7 processors on LGA 1155 p67

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:08,880
also supports all of the overclocking features of the K series and turbo

16
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:12,520
boosted processors unlike h67 which does

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,280
not support them however also unlike h67

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:19,119
it does not support the Onboard video on

19
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:23,439
these processors so let's just see if there's anything else on the back here

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:28,520
four ports in total for USB 3.0 that's good more about the Bluetooth more about

21
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:33,479
uh the ultimate turbo processor Energy Efficiency all around you can pause that

22
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,119
if you want to read that I suppose and I think that's pretty much it for the

23
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,960
outside of the box let's have a look at the inside wow the board's right on top

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,840
look at that but I'm not going to let you see it just yet I am going to make

25
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:50,640
you guys wait and we're going to look at the accessories first so oo this is nice

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:54,159
check that out USB 3.0 internal header I

27
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:57,039
hate those passrs and then we have four

28
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:02,560
additional USB 3.0 ports for the back of the case we have two SATA 2 3 GB per

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,680
second cables and two SATA 3 6 GB per second cables although please note there

30
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,360
is nothing physically different about those cables other than the color we

31
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:14,239
have an IO Shield we have an SLI Bridge

32
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:20,040
we have front Q connectors for the front panel case plugs as well as one front

33
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,599
USB 2.0 we have a user guide for Digi

34
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:27,720
plus vrm as well as the Bluetooth and then finally we have a full users guide

35
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:29,800
for the motherboard an assus sticker as

36
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,319
well as a DVD which you should completely ignore throw away and

37
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:40,080
download the latest drivers and utilities off of the ASUS

38
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:43,319
website here we have an anti-static

39
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,319
bag which

40
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:50,200
contains a motherboard so this looks an awful lot

41
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,239
like the deluxe version of the board that I've had the pleasure of tinkering

42
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,319
around with and I'm quite impressed by so why don't we just start in the middle

43
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:03,120
of the board where the CPU socket is so this as I mentioned before is is an LGA

44
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:09,080
1155 socket please do not try to install your LGA 1156 CPU in there it will

45
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:11,519
probably break the mord and the CPU here

46
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:17,120
we have cooling for our digital vrm which I'm just going to see if I can

47
00:03:12,799 --> 00:03:19,480
count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 looks like 10

48
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:24,120
plus 2 phase power going to the CPU so that's pretty good for digital and then

49
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:28,280
let's see moving up we've got our 8 Pin power connector exactly where it belongs

50
00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:34,159
in the top leftand corner of the board we have our CPU four pin connector here

51
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:37,920
we're using the quick install ASUS style

52
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:39,760
DDR3 modules uh module slots so that

53
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,720
means that this side does not open and close you just open up the one side

54
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:48,280
slide in the module to the one side close it and clip it in here's the memo

55
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:52,959
K button so the memo K button I actually had to use this for the first time today

56
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:57,519
and what you do is with the system off instead of pressing the power switch

57
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,319
which uh this one unlike the deluxe version I'm tinkering with does not have

58
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:05,640
an on board power switch so instead of using the power switch you press the M

59
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,000
button it boots up the system with a safe setting for the memory so you'll be

60
00:04:07,239 --> 00:04:13,439
sure to post every time it does work here's our 24 pin power connector and

61
00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:18,720
it's ideal location along the right hand edge of the board and moving down to the

62
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,359
storage oh no no not storage yet USB 3.0

63
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,560
conveniently located in the front of the board well rather the front of your case

64
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:32,360
so if you have front panel USB 3.0 this is a great place for that love it here

65
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,680
is four ports of SATA 3 6 GB pers second

66
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:39,960
two of these are running off of the Intel chipset two of them are running off of a thirdparty chipset these four

67
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:45,320
are sat to 3 gbit per second and those are also running off the Intel chipset

68
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:50,759
moving down we have our front panel so that's your power switch reset switch uh

69
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,600
Power LED here's three USB 2.0 front

70
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:57,560
panel headers so that's a total of up to six ports or six devices here we have

71
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:02,479
our front fire wire as well as our front audio out PCI Express slot layout pretty

72
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:07,320
happy with this one you can see it has seven total expansion slots which I

73
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:11,120
always appreciate because six especially if you're running dual Graphics simply

74
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:16,520
isn't enough in some cases you can see right here we have 1 two three PCI e6x

75
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,759
slots although please note only these two are going to run at anything

76
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,520
resembling 16x if you're running a single graphics card you want to put it

77
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,800
here for full 16x operation if you're running two and this is a limitation of

78
00:05:25,479 --> 00:05:32,639
the p67 chipset unless you're putting on additional chips such as an nf200 these

79
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:38,080
are going to run at 8X and 8x if you install a third they will run at 8X 8X

80
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:43,440
and 4x and bear in mind this 4X is going to be coming off of not off the uh PCI E

81
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:47,080
Lanes on the CPU directly but rather through the South Bridge well it's kind

82
00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:51,160
of an archaic term now but I'm going to call it a South Bridge because I'm lazy

83
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,880
and so it's not ideal for graphics card use although it's fine for something

84
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:58,240
like a RAID controller or a really high-end network card we also have two

85
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:02,919
PCI slots and I pretty much agree with the placement of them because if you

86
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:08,319
have two PCI Express graphics cards that are both dual slot remaining you will

87
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,479
have one PCI e1x slot up here you will

88
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:15,520
have one PCI slot and you will have one PCIe Forex slot so that's a pretty good

89
00:06:12,599 --> 00:06:20,319
mix of expansion options on a more value oriented board nice to have that one

90
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:24,319
Legacy PCI slot available to you so we have two dedicated PS2 ports one for

91
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:30,639
keyboard one for Mouse we have digital audio out in both flavors Optical as

92
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:34,120
well as coaxial we have one two 3 4 5 6

93
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:37,759
USB 2.0 ports one eSATA one powered eat

94
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,720
2 USB 3.0 ports gigabit Ethernet as well

95
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:45,720
as 7.1 audio and here's something to note ASUS is actually using the Intel

96
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:49,919
gigabit Ethernet that is included on the chipset I believe it does cost them more

97
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:54,280
to license it so most motherboard manufacturers put on thirdparty chips

98
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:58,440
including Aus on previous generations but now they are using the onboard

99
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:01,360
gigabit Ethernet which apparently has great capability

100
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:05,759
