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

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:13.000
pro um well for quite a few Generations

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:16.680
now since kind of the p45 P35 days has

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:19.080
really represented a fantastic value and

00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:21.960
usually means dual Graphics support so why don't we dig a little bit further

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

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:32.040
precise Digi plus vrm so that means digital voltage regulation we have

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

00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:42.280
you have full Mouse control over the BIOS versus the older style where you

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.520
use only the keyboard to input we have

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:47.719
SATA 2 or SATA 2 SATA 3 6 gbit per

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.199
second ports on this particular board over here we find out just what kind of

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:55.920
a board this is so it features the Intel p67 chipset which means you have full

00:00:53.399 --> 00:01:03.079
support for the Intel Core i5 core I3 and core i7 processors on LGA 1155 p67

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:08.880
also supports all of the overclocking features of the K series and turbo

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:12.520
boosted processors unlike h67 which does

00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:13.280
not support them however also unlike h67

00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:19.119
it does not support the Onboard video on

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:23.439
these processors so let's just see if there's anything else on the back here

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

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:33.479
uh the ultimate turbo processor Energy Efficiency all around you can pause that

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

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

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

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

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:54.159
check that out USB 3.0 internal header I

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:57.039
hate those passrs and then we have four

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

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.680
second cables and two SATA 3 6 GB per second cables although please note there

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:11.360
is nothing physically different about those cables other than the color we

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:14.239
have an IO Shield we have an SLI Bridge

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:20.040
we have front Q connectors for the front panel case plugs as well as one front

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:22.599
USB 2.0 we have a user guide for Digi

00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:27.720
plus vrm as well as the Bluetooth and then finally we have a full users guide

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:29.800
for the motherboard an assus sticker as

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:33.319
well as a DVD which you should completely ignore throw away and

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:40.080
download the latest drivers and utilities off of the ASUS

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:43.319
website here we have an anti-static

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.319
bag which

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:50.200
contains a motherboard so this looks an awful lot

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:54.239
like the deluxe version of the board that I've had the pleasure of tinkering

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

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

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:09.080
1155 socket please do not try to install your LGA 1156 CPU in there it will

00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:11.519
probably break the mord and the CPU here

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

00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:19.480
count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 looks like 10

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

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

00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:34.159
in the top leftand corner of the board we have our CPU four pin connector here

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:37.920
we're using the quick install ASUS style

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:39.760
DDR3 modules uh module slots so that

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:43.720
means that this side does not open and close you just open up the one side

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

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

00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:57.519
and what you do is with the system off instead of pressing the power switch

00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:01.319
which uh this one unlike the deluxe version I'm tinkering with does not have

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:05.640
an on board power switch so instead of using the power switch you press the M

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

00:04:07.239 --> 00:04:13.439
sure to post every time it does work here's our 24 pin power connector and

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

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.359
storage oh no no not storage yet USB 3.0

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:25.560
conveniently located in the front of the board well rather the front of your case

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

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.680
is four ports of SATA 3 6 GB pers second

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

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:45.320
are sat to 3 gbit per second and those are also running off the Intel chipset

00:04:43.320 --> 00:04:50.759
moving down we have our front panel so that's your power switch reset switch uh

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.600
Power LED here's three USB 2.0 front

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

00:04:55.320 --> 00:05:02.479
our front fire wire as well as our front audio out PCI Express slot layout pretty

00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:07.320
happy with this one you can see it has seven total expansion slots which I

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:11.120
always appreciate because six especially if you're running dual Graphics simply

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

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.759
slots although please note only these two are going to run at anything

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.520
resembling 16x if you're running a single graphics card you want to put it

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:27.800
here for full 16x operation if you're running two and this is a limitation of

00:05:25.479 --> 00:05:32.639
the p67 chipset unless you're putting on additional chips such as an nf200 these

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

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

00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:47.080
Lanes on the CPU directly but rather through the South Bridge well it's kind

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

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.880
and so it's not ideal for graphics card use although it's fine for something

00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:58.240
like a RAID controller or a really high-end network card we also have two

00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:02.919
PCI slots and I pretty much agree with the placement of them because if you

00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:08.319
have two PCI Express graphics cards that are both dual slot remaining you will

00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:10.479
have one PCI e1x slot up here you will

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

00:06:12.599 --> 00:06:20.319
mix of expansion options on a more value oriented board nice to have that one

00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:24.319
Legacy PCI slot available to you so we have two dedicated PS2 ports one for

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:30.639
keyboard one for Mouse we have digital audio out in both flavors Optical as

00:06:26.440 --> 00:06:34.120
well as coaxial we have one two 3 4 5 6

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:37.759
USB 2.0 ports one eSATA one powered eat

00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:39.720
2 USB 3.0 ports gigabit Ethernet as well

00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:45.720
as 7.1 audio and here's something to note ASUS is actually using the Intel

00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:49.919
gigabit Ethernet that is included on the chipset I believe it does cost them more

00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:54.280
to license it so most motherboard manufacturers put on thirdparty chips

00:06:52.280 --> 00:06:58.440
including Aus on previous generations but now they are using the onboard

00:06:56.039 --> 00:07:01.360
gigabit Ethernet which apparently has great capability

00:06:59.960 --> 00:07:05.759
so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the p67 pro don't forget to
