00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,320
today I've got a short unboxing of an MSI Motherboard this is the p67a c43 so

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:16,520
it's very similar to the c45 except for a couple small things and

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:19,680
that couple small things is pretty much

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,880
one small thing it doesn't have uh as

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,960
many USB 3.0 ports so we're going to go through the overall features of this

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:30,840
board this is an 1155 board which means you've got support for Intel core I3

7
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:34,239
Core i5 and core i7 processors on

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,879
the uh of the second generation variety

9
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:42,200
so only 1155 chips don't try to use an 1156 chip in here it will not work so

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,559
we're talking 2500k will work 2600k will

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,559
work 875k will not work okay features

12
00:00:45,559 --> 00:00:53,120
the military Class 2 concept with super farite chokes solid caps it's got OC

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:58,199
gen2 for One Touch overclocking of K series processors as well as a ufi click

14
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:03,080
BIOS let's flip this over it features a three-year warranty in the USA and

15
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:05,519
Canada and there's nothing under there

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:10,159
cat let's see what else they have to say for themselves we've got winky 3 which

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,640
is their software that allows you to chat with friends maintain hard drive

18
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,520
data edit docs and photos without any OS and you can also surf the Internet and

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,040
that's pretty much it for the back of the box yeah that's pretty much it so

20
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:26,560
let's open this guy up and have a look

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,560
see oh this is

22
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:34,439
interesting huh fascinating cable okay well we'll talk

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,280
about that in a minute first we've got our drivers and utilities DVD throw it

24
00:01:36,399 --> 00:01:42,159
away download the latest off the MSI website here is a quick installation

25
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:45,719
guide you might need that if you want to install it quickly software application

26
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:51,960
user guide actual motherboard user

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:56,280
guide ooh color inside

28
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:59,200
uh uh inside cover that who is that a

29
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:03,920
what board is that oh that is an x58 board okay that's not a popular x58

30
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:09,039
board anymore that's their Eclipse very old very discontinued it's okay all

31
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,959
right we've got a couple SATA cables one right angle one straight we've got some

32
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:18,000
M connectors these are for easily connecting your front panel connectors

33
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,480
we've got an IO Shield which is look at that colorcoded very nice very very very

34
00:02:19,959 --> 00:02:25,920
nice all right and we've got what appears to be a

35
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:33,040
usb3 header to USB 2

36
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:38,120
mail header so you can if I can get it to focus you'll be able to see the pins

37
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:44,200
on this thing so if you want to turn your internal USB 3.0 header into an

38
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,920
internal USB 2.0 header you could do

39
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:52,239
that if you wanted okay so let's grab the board

40
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,010
itself just going to close the Box real quick

41
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,840
here so we can see what we're

42
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,640
doing

43
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:14,400
take that tape off come

44
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:17,360
on ah there you go you can cooperate Mr

45
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:23,799
baggie and here is the board itself so it looks very similar to its

46
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:27,319
uh well very similar brother the P wait

47
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:27,319
hold on just a darn

48
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,680
moment oh oh okay I get it hold on I'll

49
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:40,159
be back in a minute okay here is the difference so you see that NC chip there

50
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,640
there's some other board components around it that are see here this guy

51
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:51,120
right here okay hold on I'm going to turn my manual focus off actually no

52
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:55,000
that's fine not present here so this is

53
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,519
a USB 2 header see how it's colorcoded

54
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,840
black and see how it's colorcoded blue on the other board and it's called well

55
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:08,040
here it's called USB 3 inside see USB 3.0 here it is not called any such thing

56
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:16,280
because and now I'm going to turn my manual focus off the c43 only

57
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:19,600
features come on Focus manual focus is

58
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:23,240
off uhoh I'll be back in a minute okay

59
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,520
manual focus is off now okay so because

60
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,160
this board only features two USB 3.0

61
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:32,440
ports that's why I got confused as soon as I saw the USB 3.0 port on the back

62
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:37,240
and I saw a header here I was like well how does this work it only has two ports

63
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,520
cuz this is a USB 2.0 header but rather

64
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:43,680
than redesigning the PCB they just haven't included the usb3 chipset here

65
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:49,919
the NEC chipset we saw on the higher end board and that is why it has this funky

66
00:04:47,479 --> 00:04:55,120
adapter because now this is a USB 2.0 header so there's another USB 2.0 header

67
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,759
for a total of two okay so the overall layout of the this board is very similar

68
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:01,400
we've got our LGA 1155 socket right here in the middle we've got lot of room

69
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,520
around it you can see this lower end board also doesn't include the heat

70
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:10,320
sinks around the CPU area that are cooling see you can see the outlines for

71
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,320
where they would normally belong that are cooling the voltage regulation

72
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,600
modules we have an 8 Pin power connector up here in the top left as well as

73
00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:22,680
support for four sticks of DDR3 running in dual Channel our 24 pin power is

74
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:28,120
along the right hand edge of the board in its optimal location and moving down

75
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:33,199
we have full support for SATA 3 6 GB per second running off of the Intel chip set

76
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:38,759
come on Focus there you go as well as four SATA 2 3 GB perss

77
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:44,080
ports here is the heat sink for the Intel chipset itself and continuing to

78
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:48,600
move down the board we have all of our front panel connectors our USB 2.0

79
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:54,240
header that I have now talked about endlessly and we've also got front no

80
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,360
front fire wire which The Other Board did have we have no rear fire wire

81
00:05:56,199 --> 00:06:01,080
either for that matter but we'll get to that in a moment and we also have our

82
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:07,639
front front panel audio connector now in terms of the slot layout it is the same

83
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:11,880
as its big brother so we have three PCI

84
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:14,000
e1x one PCI e6x and three PCI slots so

85
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:18,759
if you were to install a dual slot graphics card in the PCI e6x slot then

86
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:24,840
you would still have access to two PCI e1x and three PCI slots so on a lower

87
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:30,080
end board that's what I would consider optimal because most people are going to

88
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,680
be carrying over their PCI adding cards

89
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,840
when they're not buying like a super expensive motherboard all right here we

90
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:40,520
go so we got a PS2 us PS2 uh yes it is

91
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:44,319
PS2 but it's not us anything it's a PS2 keyboard mouse combo Port we've got

92
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,319
eight USB 2.0 ports it's still got the clear seos button very nice very handy

93
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:53,319
for this looks like a good budget overclocking board with that clear seos

94
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:59,560
on the back we've got uh coaxial audio out optical audio out gigb Ethernet USB

95
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,039
3.0 and 7.1 audio nothing really

96
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:07,759
interesting to speak of on the back thank you for checking out my unboxing of the p67a c43 don't forget to
