1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:07,720 now I've looked at a fair number of p67 and h67 sandybridge ready motherboards 2 00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:15,039 over the last little while but I haven't looked at many matx ones so this is a 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:17,199 reasonably high performance looking matx 4 00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:24,400 p67 motherboard supporting all the latest Intel LGA 1155 CPUs that is core 5 00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:26,840 i3s core i5s and core i7s it is a 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:33,160 p67 chipset motherboard which means that it does not support the Onboard video of 7 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,680 these CPUs but it does support their 8 00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:41,200 unlocked performance of the K series processor so you can overclock K series 9 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:45,360 chips on this board we've got their epu chip which is for energy saving we've 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:50,840 got SATA 3 6 gbit per second we've got USB 3.0 UEFI graphical BIOS and I think 11 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:58,079 that's pretty much all they've got to say for themselves on the front let's see what ASUS has on the back so their 12 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:04,040 TPU which is for more performance epu which is for Energy savings okay we've 13 00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:07,840 got some other stuff here what do we 14 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:11,240 got H SAA 3 protect 15 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,880 3.0 uh which is basically uh lower power 16 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:17,240 consumption to protect the environment lower electromagnetic emissions to 17 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:22,360 protect you and yeah hold on I'm thinking cuz I 18 00:01:20,119 --> 00:01:26,600 don't see it in here uh yeah something about um stabilizing power spikes to 19 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:31,680 protect your motherboard although I don't think that's here but that's what protect the 20 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:35,880 p with AI Suite 2 which is their software and the EFI BIOS let's have a 21 00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:39,240 look at the board like I said this looks like a pretty high performance board and 22 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,759 comes with what appears to be a pretty high performance package so let's see 23 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:48,320 we've got our users's guide we've got an ASUS sticker and we've also got an ASUS 24 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:52,799 software DVD so throw that away download the latest from the ASUS website we've 25 00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,799 got two SATA 36 GB per second cables both of them right angle and two SATA 26 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,920 two 3 GB per second cables those are both right angle as well please note 27 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,719 other than the color difference there's no difference between those cables they 28 00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:09,080 are both fine so we've got Q connectors which are an easier way of plugging in 29 00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:12,520 your front panel connectors as well as your front USB and this is what made me 30 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:17,319 think this is a performance board cuz they got their extra foam padding on the 31 00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:21,000 io Shield you only really see that you 32 00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:24,319 know on higher performance boards from 33 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000 Aus it's true I tell you all right we 34 00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:31,800 got their environmentally friendly packaging with only paper is good and 35 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:36,400 we've got a motherboard all right pretty nice 36 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:41,120 looking board overall actually I can say that with confidence right off the bat 37 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:47,440 and you know I'm so happy to see more and more of this all the time PCI 38 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:51,319 Express for one thing and high density 39 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,080 of PCI Express slots on matx board so 40 00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:56,560 this board fully supports SLI and Crossfire X so this one runs it okay you 41 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,280 know what I'll get to that later okay we've got our 1155 socket uh which is 42 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,840 compatible like I said with all the latest processors don't try and put an 43 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,040 1156 chip in there it will not work we've got an 8 Pin power connector we've 44 00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:14,080 got some pretty nice looking wave style mosfet heat sinks around that CPU socket 45 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,920 they're nice and low profile though here you can see that from the side so you 46 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:25,120 shouldn't have any trouble with any of your Tower heat sinks or whatever kind of heat sink you want to install on here 47 00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:28,159 we've got four sticks of dual Channel 48 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,640 DDR3 memory compatibility capability and 49 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:35,400 this is the easy install kind so there's no clip here there's only a clip on this 50 00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:40,680 side okay so you just slot the memory in this side open up the clip slot it in 51 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,159 this side clip is shut only one clip 52 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:47,200 we've got a memo K button which should pretty much ensure that your board will 53 00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:51,280 boot with any memory no problem okay 54 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,200 we've got their TPU switch we've got 55 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:59,840 what on Earth is this oh trust platform module okay we've got our 24 pin power 56 00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:01,519 connector we've got hm okay I don't 57 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:07,760 think this is actually an anti-surge SATA 6 gbit per second Port I think this 58 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,920 is just a SATA 3 6 gbit per second port 59 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,640 and they're talking about the anti- surge technology that is part of uh 60 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:20,639 protect 3.0 okay next we have a BIOS chip then we've got two SATA 3 6 GB per 61 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:26,199 second ports four SATA 2 3 GB per second ports a chipset cooler and finally we've 62 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:33,360 got our front panel connectors four USB 2.0 front panel headers we've got a a 63 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:37,440 fire wire front panel header a is that 64 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:40,160 really a parallel port 65 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:45,880 header fascinating okay and then and then we've got aha 66 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:50,280 okay we're down to the PCI Express slot so I love it they' they killed PCI so 67 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:56,199 this is a high-end board no PCI done boom we've got a PCIe 16x slot that runs 68 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:57,520 at full 16x PCIe 1X slot that will be 69 00:04:56,199 --> 00:05:04,479 covered as soon as you put your high performance dual slot graphics card in here we've got a PCIe 8X slot so this 70 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:08,199 one only runs at 8X if you put something in it and then 71 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:14,440 this one will run at 8X as well so it's either 16x or it's 8X 8X so full support 72 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:19,639 for Crossfire and SLI remember PCIe 8X is enough for Crossfire and SLI this guy 73 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:25,319 right here only runs at PCIe 4X actually hold on let me look at this 74 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:30,160 yes good okay so this one only runs at PCIe 4X and that one's running off the 75 00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:34,240 South Bridge not off the PCI controller on the CPU so it's lower performance if 76 00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:38,199 you are running Crossfire or SLI use these two slots now what's funny is this 77 00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:41,680 board doesn't include an SLI Bridge so you may have to buy one but they are 78 00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:45,000 available so don't worry too much about it remember Crossfire bridges come with 79 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,840 your video card not with your motherboard we got two PS2 ports one 80 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:56,360 Mouse One keyboard we've got two USB 3.0 ports optical audio out we've got four 81 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:59,680 USB 2.0 ports we've got fire wire eat 82 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,199 and gigabit Ethernet with 7.1 audio to 83 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:06,880 round out this board thank you for checking out my unboxing of the ASUS p8p 84 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:12,039 67m Pro don't forget to
