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

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:16.520
it's very similar to the c45 except for a couple small things and

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:19.680
that couple small things is pretty much

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:21.880
one small thing it doesn't have uh as

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

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:30.840
board this is an 1155 board which means you've got support for Intel core I3

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:34.239
Core i5 and core i7 processors on

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:36.879
the uh of the second generation variety

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

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:45.559
we're talking 2500k will work 2600k will

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:47.559
work 875k will not work okay features

00:00:45.559 --> 00:00:53.120
the military Class 2 concept with super farite chokes solid caps it's got OC

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:58.199
gen2 for One Touch overclocking of K series processors as well as a ufi click

00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:03.080
BIOS let's flip this over it features a three-year warranty in the USA and

00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:05.519
Canada and there's nothing under there

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

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:13.640
is their software that allows you to chat with friends maintain hard drive

00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:17.520
data edit docs and photos without any OS and you can also surf the Internet and

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

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:26.560
let's open this guy up and have a look

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.560
see oh this is

00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:34.439
interesting huh fascinating cable okay well we'll talk

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:38.280
about that in a minute first we've got our drivers and utilities DVD throw it

00:01:36.399 --> 00:01:42.159
away download the latest off the MSI website here is a quick installation

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:45.719
guide you might need that if you want to install it quickly software application

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:51.960
user guide actual motherboard user

00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:56.280
guide ooh color inside

00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:59.200
uh uh inside cover that who is that a

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

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:09.039
board anymore that's their Eclipse very old very discontinued it's okay all

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

00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:18.000
M connectors these are for easily connecting your front panel connectors

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

00:02:19.959 --> 00:02:25.920
nice all right and we've got what appears to be a

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:33.040
usb3 header to USB 2

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

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

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:46.920
internal USB 2.0 header you could do

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:52.239
that if you wanted okay so let's grab the board

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:56.010
itself just going to close the Box real quick

00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.840
here so we can see what we're

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:03.640
doing

00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:14.400
take that tape off come

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:17.360
on ah there you go you can cooperate Mr

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:23.799
baggie and here is the board itself so it looks very similar to its

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:27.319
uh well very similar brother the P wait

00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:27.319
hold on just a darn

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.680
moment oh oh okay I get it hold on I'll

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

00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:45.640
there's some other board components around it that are see here this guy

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:51.120
right here okay hold on I'm going to turn my manual focus off actually no

00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:55.000
that's fine not present here so this is

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.519
a USB 2 header see how it's colorcoded

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

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

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:16.280
because and now I'm going to turn my manual focus off the c43 only

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:19.600
features come on Focus manual focus is

00:04:16.280 --> 00:04:23.240
off uhoh I'll be back in a minute okay

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:26.520
manual focus is off now okay so because

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.160
this board only features two USB 3.0

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

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

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.520
cuz this is a USB 2.0 header but rather

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:43.680
than redesigning the PCB they just haven't included the usb3 chipset here

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

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

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

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

00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:06.520
around it you can see this lower end board also doesn't include the heat

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.320
sinks around the CPU area that are cooling see you can see the outlines for

00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:14.320
where they would normally belong that are cooling the voltage regulation

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

00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:22.680
support for four sticks of DDR3 running in dual Channel our 24 pin power is

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:28.120
along the right hand edge of the board in its optimal location and moving down

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

00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:38.759
come on Focus there you go as well as four SATA 2 3 GB perss

00:05:36.520 --> 00:05:44.080
ports here is the heat sink for the Intel chipset itself and continuing to

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:48.600
move down the board we have all of our front panel connectors our USB 2.0

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:54.240
header that I have now talked about endlessly and we've also got front no

00:05:52.440 --> 00:05:57.360
front fire wire which The Other Board did have we have no rear fire wire

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

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:07.639
front front panel audio connector now in terms of the slot layout it is the same

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:11.880
as its big brother so we have three PCI

00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:14.000
e1x one PCI e6x and three PCI slots so

00:06:11.880 --> 00:06:18.759
if you were to install a dual slot graphics card in the PCI e6x slot then

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

00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:30.080
end board that's what I would consider optimal because most people are going to

00:06:26.440 --> 00:06:31.680
be carrying over their PCI adding cards

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:37.840
when they're not buying like a super expensive motherboard all right here we

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:40.520
go so we got a PS2 us PS2 uh yes it is

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

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

00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:53.319
for this looks like a good budget overclocking board with that clear seos

00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:59.560
on the back we've got uh coaxial audio out optical audio out gigb Ethernet USB

00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:01.039
3.0 and 7.1 audio nothing really

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
