1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:05,279
okay uh zoom in zoom in zoom in N I'm

2
00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:15,599
just playing around with the camera in okay so today we'll be unboxing the Gigabyte 880gm ud2h so this is this is a

3
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:21,519
sticker that's okay though it's six core CPU ready out of the box it's part of

4
00:00:18,279 --> 00:00:24,000
AMD's uh brand new 800 series chipsets

5
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:29,960
so the 880g is the replacement for the 785g that means it has Onboard video as

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,440
well as excellent performance support for all the latest CPUs all that good

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,640
stuff but you're going to be missing little things like say for example

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,480
Crossfire support because it's not designed to be an extreme gaming

9
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:45,160
platform that said you do have a lot of the other Gigabyte benefits with this

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:49,120
board you've got Ultra durable 3 classic whatever that means so that means you

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:54,399
got a 2 O copper PCB 50,000 hour Japanese solid caps as well as dual BIOS

12
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:58,760
it has a three-year warranty in US and Canada and it features their easy energy

13
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:03,000
saving let's move around to the back did I already mention it has support for the

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:07,600
fenom 2x6 I think I did but either way it's all good this is just more details

15
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:13,200
on the back about the motherboard itself you got support for up to DDR3 1800 plus

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:20,000
so that's through overclocking then you have a 4 plus one phase power design and

17
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:24,400
that pretty much covers the specifics

18
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,799
okay oh oh yeah we have lower Emi so

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,680
lower electromagnetic uh interference I believe it stands for that means just

20
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:34,840
sort of less General electromagnetic junk going on out of

21
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:39,200
this board did you know that that's what IO Shields are for it's to stop

22
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,680
electromagnetic like radiation from coming out the back of the PC where you

23
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:47,240
have a completely open Gap that's why all the PCI slots and the io Shield is

24
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,200
is covered with metal there you go you learned something today unless you

25
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:56,079
already knew so it has an IO Shield it has a Dolby Home Theater

26
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:00,159
sticker it has two SATA cables one of which is right angle and one of which is

27
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,439
straight as well as an IDE cable person I'd probably rather see four SATA cables

28
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:08,759
included but a lot of people are still using IDE DVD drives so that's what this

29
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:17,280
is great for you got a couple hard drives you got a DVD drive you're covered next we have the users

30
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:19,040
manual and inside we will find the 8

31
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,160
series utility DVD don't use this download the latest off the Gigabyte

32
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,680
website and then you've got a full English users manual covering a lot of

33
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:31,440
Bio settings how to install drivers how to plug in all of your front panel

34
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,040
connectors all that good stuff then we have a multilingual installation guide

35
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,680
book that covers the physical installation in 300 million different

36
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:43,680
languages all right then we have the motherboard itself so it's a pretty bare

37
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:49,120
accessory package although it is a fairly lowish end board so you that's

38
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,280
sort of the expectation that you got to have with a motherboard like this so

39
00:02:51,280 --> 00:03:00,000
let's take this out now the one thing that I do see is

40
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:03,159
missing so this is not using the latest

41
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Southbridge from AMD it is using the

42
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:11,159
latest 800 series Northbridge but it does not have support for SATA 3 so

43
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:16,239
you're still running SATA 2 but honestly if you're buying a value motherboard

44
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,480
you're probably not buying a a an S SATA

45
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:22,760
3 SSD anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about it cameraman's having a look

46
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,959
at gigabytes pretty sweet looking Northbridge heat sink I really you know

47
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:32,000
what now that North Bridges and South bridges for example this one run so cool

48
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:36,159
I I think it's great that some of the manufacturers are taking an opportunity

49
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:40,439
to make it more of a design element rather than just focused on you know oh

50
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:45,439
here's a heat sink here's some fins it cools it really good because the reality

51
00:03:42,519 --> 00:03:49,920
of it is AMD's chipsets run so cool you could probably put this heat sink on

52
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,879
that chipset and no heat sink on this chipset and the board would probably run

53
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:57,799
just fine with a little bit of air flow but instead Gigabyte spends a couple

54
00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:02,480
bucks they put a nice heat sink on it it looks cool they put like a turbo 3

55
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:05,519
thing on it that's pretty cool too why don't we have a look at the layout of

56
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:10,840
the board before I just start rambling here so up at the top left we have an

57
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,680
8pin um EPS connector so that is going

58
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,440
to be providing the power for your CPU I'm surprised to see an8 pin on a value

59
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,759
board like this but since you can install six pin CPUs and presumably you

60
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,800
can overclock at least a little bit on a board like this it's great to see that

61
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:29,960
guess the CPU is going to be pulling some real power next you've got your uh

62
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:34,680
two sets of dual Channel DDR three support so that's up to I believe 16

63
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,720
gigs if I recall correctly and 4 gig dims are finally getting reasonably

64
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:43,560
priced so you could actually load this up with six cores and 16 dims in a

65
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,199
microatx form factor I mean wow even a

66
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,520
couple years ago that was like impossible to Fathom next we've got a

67
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,240
floppy connector as well as an IDE connector your 24 pin PO is along the

68
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,880
right hand edge of the board exactly where it belongs and then down at the

69
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,440
bottom right it seems like an odd number we've got five SATA two ports it's not

70
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,639
that odd because the sixth SATA 2 Port running off this chipset is actually at

71
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:10,320
the back of the board you got three USB 2.0 headers your front panel headers and

72
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:15,960
then as far as the layout of the slots goes you got one PCIe 1X slot a 16x slot

73
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,479
and then two PCIe slots so if you're running a dual slot graphics card it'll

74
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:25,280
sit right here in the middle and then you'll have access to one PCI slot and

75
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,440
one PCIe 1X slot now one thing I do want

76
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:30,919
to comment on in this board is that if you are running a dual slot graphics

77
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,400
card it's going to take up this whole chunk of the board it's going to cover

78
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:38,160
up three of your SATA slots I would have liked to see that a little bit better

79
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:42,919
thought out but you can get around this when you're ordering this board just

80
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,720
make sure you order um at least one

81
00:05:42,919 --> 00:05:49,880
right angle SATA cable so that you can just kind of put it in under the video

82
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,120
card and you can get access to it that way all right let's move on to the back

83
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:58,600
of the motherboard where we've got all of our IO connection so first of all

84
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:03,000
we've got a PS2 uh keyboard mouse combo

85
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:07,120
Port then we have one 1 2 3 4 5 6 USB

86
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,880
2.0 ports then we have DVI HDMI and VGA

87
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:14,120
out very handy we have optical audio out fire wire eat so that's that sixth

88
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:19,080
connector I was talking about then we've got gigabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio thank

89
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:24,919
you for checking out my unboxing of the Phenom X6 ready 880gm ud2h
