1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:08,280
bar Cy what have we got here it seems to

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:11,679
be the elusive EVGA x58 3x SL

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:15,679
motherboard as outlined 16 times on the

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:17,600
packaging it does support SLI technology

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,279
and you can also see if you look really close at the small writing on the back

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:25,439
uh supports Crossfire X so we're going to be doing an unboxing on this

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,960
motherboard and showing you all the cool accessories that come with it and uh

8
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:36,360
stay tuned

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:42,520
so I've never opened up this board before either I'll be as surprised as

10
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:45,680
you by what's inside here we have a rich accessory package

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:52,480
including a visual guide to your new x58

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,879
SLI motherboard this is actually pretty cool it gives you some need information

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,480
like which are your primary memory channels so you want to use the green

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,960
slots first and then the black ones it also shows you what all of the headers

15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:10,200
and ports and buttons are for on the motherboard itself and it gives you a

16
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:15,280
super zoomed in view including some instructions on how to install all the

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:22,880
components on your board and get set up also present in the Box for the EVGA

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,920
x58 3x SLI motherboard is a manual a

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:29,119
driver CD which normally wouldn't even be worth a mention but this one does

20
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:33,439
include evga's new Elite overclocking utility so you can actually overclock

21
00:01:31,479 --> 00:01:38,360
theoretically very well in a Windows environment which is great you've got

22
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:41,200
your usual cables some SATA cables IDE

23
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:45,640
and then you've got these back IO plate adapters you got fire wire USB and a

24
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:52,000
Serial adapter if you're actually still using that with your $400 x58

25
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:57,079
motherboard an IO shield and you've got

26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,840
a tri SLI and a dual SLI Bridge so next

27
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:03,759
up is the motherboard evga's x58 motherboard

28
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,880
includes a lot of really good features particularly for enthusiasts and

29
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:12,000
overclockers such as the speaker and reset power and clear seimo switches all

30
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:16,080
being right there on the board you've also got right angle SATA connectors

31
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,000
over on this side which means that it's not going to interfere with any

32
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,920
fulllength graphics cards they've completely redesigned the cooling

33
00:02:20,519 --> 00:02:25,720
Solution on this board so you have a South Bridge North Bridge kind of cooler

34
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,920
here which hopefully with the new redesigned fan will improve on the fan

35
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:32,680
noise of previous EVGA motherboards and and then you can see that it's

36
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,319
completely disconnected maybe you can't see that from the mosfet cooler which is

37
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,480
very shiny which means that if you were to Mother water cool the North Bridge

38
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:46,200
and the South Bridge you wouldn't necessarily have to remove the mosfet cooler like you would with a lot of

39
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:50,040
modern motherboards now on the back panel you can see EVGA is given special

40
00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:54,440
attention to enthusiasts with a clear seos buttton as well as including a

41
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:59,360
legacy PS2 keyboard Port which is great for overclocking because sometimes USB

42
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:03,280
ports are not recognized correctly as soon as a PS2 port for making BIOS

43
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:09,239
adjustments last but not least you've got your CPU socket for your core i7 CPU

44
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:13,760
and six memory slots for up to 12 gigs of

45
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,519
memory so to close out this unboxing and

46
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:20,519
uh sort of product Spotlight on the EVGA x58 motherboard we are going to play

47
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:25,760
motherboard frisbee so if I could get the cameraman to go

48
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,760
long
