WEBVTT

00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:05.279
okay uh zoom in zoom in zoom in N I'm

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

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

00:00:18.279 --> 00:00:24.000
AMD's uh brand new 800 series chipsets

00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:29.960
so the 880g is the replacement for the 785g that means it has Onboard video as

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:33.440
well as excellent performance support for all the latest CPUs all that good

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.640
stuff but you're going to be missing little things like say for example

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:41.480
Crossfire support because it's not designed to be an extreme gaming

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:45.160
platform that said you do have a lot of the other Gigabyte benefits with this

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:49.120
board you've got Ultra durable 3 classic whatever that means so that means you

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

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:58.760
it has a three-year warranty in US and Canada and it features their easy energy

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

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

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:13.200
on the back about the motherboard itself you got support for up to DDR3 1800 plus

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:20.000
so that's through overclocking then you have a 4 plus one phase power design and

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:24.400
that pretty much covers the specifics

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.799
okay oh oh yeah we have lower Emi so

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:30.680
lower electromagnetic uh interference I believe it stands for that means just

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:34.840
sort of less General electromagnetic junk going on out of

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

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.680
electromagnetic like radiation from coming out the back of the PC where you

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

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:51.200
is covered with metal there you go you learned something today unless you

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:56.079
already knew so it has an IO Shield it has a Dolby Home Theater

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

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:04.439
straight as well as an IDE cable person I'd probably rather see four SATA cables

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

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

00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:19.040
manual and inside we will find the 8

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.160
series utility DVD don't use this download the latest off the Gigabyte

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.680
website and then you've got a full English users manual covering a lot of

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:31.440
Bio settings how to install drivers how to plug in all of your front panel

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:35.040
connectors all that good stuff then we have a multilingual installation guide

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:39.680
book that covers the physical installation in 300 million different

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:43.680
languages all right then we have the motherboard itself so it's a pretty bare

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:49.120
accessory package although it is a fairly lowish end board so you that's

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:53.280
sort of the expectation that you got to have with a motherboard like this so

00:02:51.280 --> 00:03:00.000
let's take this out now the one thing that I do see is

00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:03.159
missing so this is not using the latest

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.000
Southbridge from AMD it is using the

00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:11.159
latest 800 series Northbridge but it does not have support for SATA 3 so

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:16.239
you're still running SATA 2 but honestly if you're buying a value motherboard

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:18.480
you're probably not buying a a an S SATA

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

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:26.959
at gigabytes pretty sweet looking Northbridge heat sink I really you know

00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:32.000
what now that North Bridges and South bridges for example this one run so cool

00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:36.159
I I think it's great that some of the manufacturers are taking an opportunity

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:40.439
to make it more of a design element rather than just focused on you know oh

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

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

00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:53.879
that chipset and no heat sink on this chipset and the board would probably run

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.799
just fine with a little bit of air flow but instead Gigabyte spends a couple

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

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

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

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.680
8pin um EPS connector so that is going

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

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:20.759
board like this but since you can install six pin CPUs and presumably you

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

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

00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:34.680
two sets of dual Channel DDR three support so that's up to I believe 16

00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:37.720
gigs if I recall correctly and 4 gig dims are finally getting reasonably

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:43.560
priced so you could actually load this up with six cores and 16 dims in a

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:45.199
microatx form factor I mean wow even a

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:49.520
couple years ago that was like impossible to Fathom next we've got a

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:53.240
floppy connector as well as an IDE connector your 24 pin PO is along the

00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:56.880
right hand edge of the board exactly where it belongs and then down at the

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

00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:05.639
that odd because the sixth SATA 2 Port running off this chipset is actually at

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

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

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

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

00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:27.440
one PCIe 1X slot now one thing I do want

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:30.919
to comment on in this board is that if you are running a dual slot graphics

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

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

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:42.919
thought out but you can get around this when you're ordering this board just

00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:45.720
make sure you order um at least one

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

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

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:58.600
of the motherboard where we've got all of our IO connection so first of all

00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:03.000
we've got a PS2 uh keyboard mouse combo

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:07.120
Port then we have one 1 2 3 4 5 6 USB

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:09.880
2.0 ports then we have DVI HDMI and VGA

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:14.120
out very handy we have optical audio out fire wire eat so that's that sixth

00:06:12.520 --> 00:06:19.080
connector I was talking about then we've got gigabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio thank

00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:24.919
you for checking out my unboxing of the Phenom X6 ready 880gm ud2h
