00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:08.280
bar Cy what have we got here it seems to

00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:11.679
be the elusive EVGA x58 3x SL

00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:15.679
motherboard as outlined 16 times on the

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:17.600
packaging it does support SLI technology

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

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:25.439
uh supports Crossfire X so we're going to be doing an unboxing on this

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.960
motherboard and showing you all the cool accessories that come with it and uh

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:36.360
stay tuned

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:42.520
so I've never opened up this board before either I'll be as surprised as

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:45.680
you by what's inside here we have a rich accessory package

00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:52.480
including a visual guide to your new x58

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:56.879
SLI motherboard this is actually pretty cool it gives you some need information

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.480
like which are your primary memory channels so you want to use the green

00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:04.960
slots first and then the black ones it also shows you what all of the headers

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:10.200
and ports and buttons are for on the motherboard itself and it gives you a

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:15.280
super zoomed in view including some instructions on how to install all the

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:22.880
components on your board and get set up also present in the Box for the EVGA

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:24.920
x58 3x SLI motherboard is a manual a

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:29.119
driver CD which normally wouldn't even be worth a mention but this one does

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:33.439
include evga's new Elite overclocking utility so you can actually overclock

00:01:31.479 --> 00:01:38.360
theoretically very well in a Windows environment which is great you've got

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:41.200
your usual cables some SATA cables IDE

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

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:52.000
Serial adapter if you're actually still using that with your $400 x58

00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:57.079
motherboard an IO shield and you've got

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:58.840
a tri SLI and a dual SLI Bridge so next

00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:03.759
up is the motherboard evga's x58 motherboard

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.880
includes a lot of really good features particularly for enthusiasts and

00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:12.000
overclockers such as the speaker and reset power and clear seimo switches all

00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:16.080
being right there on the board you've also got right angle SATA connectors

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:19.000
over on this side which means that it's not going to interfere with any

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:21.920
fulllength graphics cards they've completely redesigned the cooling

00:02:20.519 --> 00:02:25.720
Solution on this board so you have a South Bridge North Bridge kind of cooler

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:29.920
here which hopefully with the new redesigned fan will improve on the fan

00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:32.680
noise of previous EVGA motherboards and and then you can see that it's

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:37.319
completely disconnected maybe you can't see that from the mosfet cooler which is

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:40.480
very shiny which means that if you were to Mother water cool the North Bridge

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

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:50.040
modern motherboards now on the back panel you can see EVGA is given special

00:02:48.519 --> 00:02:54.440
attention to enthusiasts with a clear seos buttton as well as including a

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:59.360
legacy PS2 keyboard Port which is great for overclocking because sometimes USB

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:03.280
ports are not recognized correctly as soon as a PS2 port for making BIOS

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:09.239
adjustments last but not least you've got your CPU socket for your core i7 CPU

00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:13.760
and six memory slots for up to 12 gigs of

00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:16.519
memory so to close out this unboxing and

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:20.519
uh sort of product Spotlight on the EVGA x58 motherboard we are going to play

00:03:18.440 --> 00:03:25.760
motherboard frisbee so if I could get the cameraman to go

00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:25.760
long
