so the fatality motherboard brand has been reawakened this is the p67
professional motherboard and it features
a picture of Jonathan Wendell on the front as well as the fatality logo no
I'm just kidding what it actually well it does have that what it actually
figures features is Intel's p67 chipset
it features a digital pwm design a 16
plus 2phase CPU power delivery mechanism
it has a fatality Mouse Port what is a fatality Mouse Port let me see so uh
after plugging the USB mouse into the fatality Mouse port and running fstream
Gamers can use fatality's personal preferred Mouse pulling rate at 500
Hertz okay Neato next we have uh support
for six USB 3.0 ports two front four back and six SATA
3 we have three PCIe 2.0 slot supporting
Crossfire X and SLI so that is in
three-way Crossfire X and and up to NVIDIA quad SLI mind you by quad SLI
they mean dual dual GPU cards in two slots we have premium gold caps all the
capacitors on the fatality p67 Professional Series gaming motherboard
are luxury premium gold caps these 100%
Japanese made Solid capacitors are Sleek high gloss caps with a Premium Gold
coating representing long life and stable performance so you can see here
we have a window into the box where we can see the motherboard itself let's go
ahead and have a look at the oh cameraman wants to look at the board okay that's okay we're going to open it
up cameraman okay so we can have a look at the back of the board where they
actually call out wow they actually do a fairly good job of summarizing the
features of the board I'm not going to look at it now what I'm actually going
to do is I'm going to open it up and I will use the box as a reference as I'm
doing my usual guide of the board so
first let's have a look at the accessories that we have here uh let's
just figure out the packaging I've opened a few motherboard
packages in my day so I think I can probably handle this there we
are okay accessories here we go so we
have a fatality setup guide okay we have
a fat no way okay this is a quick installation guide it's this thick
that's a finger for perspective so this must have a lot of different languages 1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 different
languages so the English section actually only goes to even then wow jeez
so they're guiding you through I guess a whole lot of different stuffff on this
particular motherboard we've got a driver oh oh this is nice this is handy
so they give you all of the pinouts of all of the important connectors on the
board in a nice little color diagram here and they clearly label them all
that's a nice touch I actually really appreciate that right inside the front cover because as someone who's installed
a couple of motherboards in my life that's usually the only thing I'm looking for inside a motherboard manual
so here's p67 professional so download the latest uh off the fatality website I
guess I actually don't know you know what guys leave a comment uh leave a comment on
the video if you know what website to throw away the disc and download the
latest drivers from please okay here we have a USB 3.0 back plate bracket all
right we have an IO Shield that is conveniently colorcoded and labels the
fatality Mouse Port right here okay next
we have look at this IDE and floppy
cables it features IDE and floppy go
figure here all right here we have some SATA 3 6 GB per second cables although I
can tell you right now there's likely no difference between these and any other
SATA 2 cables but there you go they're certified just in case you were
uncertain we have a Molex TOA connector uh power adapter rather we have an SLI
Bridge yep SLI bridge in there next we
have front USB 3.0 oh I get how this works so you can
actually decide whether you want to use the conveniently included 3 and 1/2 in
bay front USB 3.0 adapter or you can take the bracket in here install it in
one of these and have two more in the rear that's actually a really clever
really flexible solution I haven't seen that before all right let's get to the
board itself hold on I'm going to make some room for a cameraman to uh be able
to get around here and see it so the profess one on all series board from
fatality so let's uh take in the overall look of this board you know what they've
done a f fantastic job with the red and black color scheme black PCB uh you know
what the gold okay the goldplated caps for all their excessiveness actually
look really cool as part of the color scheme of this board like come in and
check check those out that actually that actually looks really neat okay so let's
do our overall tour of the motherboard
starting with the CPU socket as I usually do so here's your LGA 1155
socket so bear in mind this has support for Intel core I3 Cor I 5 and core i7
processors only on LGA 1155 socket it
does not support Onboard video because this is a p67 motherboard you'll need an
h67 motherboard for Onboard video or a
z68 here is the 16 plus 2 phase power
design that is around the CPU socket that's going to deliver nice stable
power you can see here that all of these heat sinks are actually swept back to
provide a nice clear CPU heat sink mounting area so you should be able to
mount pretty much anything you want on a board like this up here in the top in
its ideal location we have our eight pin CPU power connector moving along to the
right we've got four DDR3 dual Channel slots so these are using easy
installation uh slots which means you only have to clip in the one side so
we've seen that on ASUS motherboards as well as MSI motherboards in the past
here we have a 24 pin power connector in exactly its ideal location and we have
an IDE connector and if I did have an IDE connector on my board this is
probably where I would want it because I would probably be using an IDE optical
drive up near the top of my case this has a lot of theta connectors I'll tell
you guys that much so here we have our
SATA 2 so these are the 3 gbit per second connectors and then we have six
SATA 3 6 gbit per second connectors so
these guys right here are running off of the Intel
chipset and these ones are running off a third party chipset you can see here
there's a little notice for better performance and short boot up time we
suggest you connect the hard drive that is your boot drive on ports 0 to five as
your boot device so these guys not these guys you can use these for other
additional things all right let's keep moving down the board and don't worry
we're going to get back and have a look at the uh the heat sink cooling Solution
on this board in a moment so here we have onboard power and reset buttons as
well as a post readout LED love these
these are very handy when you're trying to diagnose a dead ramp stick or a dead
video card or something like that moving down we have our front panel connectors
we've got a ton of fan headers on this motherboard you can just hook up like a
whack of fans 1 two 3 four five six six
fans that I can see and I think that's I think that's all we got but that's
pretty darn good okay we've got 1 2 3 4 four USB 2.0 front headers One USB 3.0
front header then we've also got a floppy connector for
whatever reason we have that I don't actually know in terms of our you never
know you might need it okay so we've got our PCI Express layout looks pretty good
so far because this is a high-end board I actually really like this layout so if
you're using a single graphics card they're assuming you're putting together
a build that might just still have a legacy PCI card so you're going to go
ahead and use this guy if you're using dual Graphics in a motherboard like this
hey odds are pretty good you don't need any PCI so you can go ahead and still
make use of this PCI e4x slot even
though it's a physical 6X you can actually see it's only wired up to 4X
you can make use of this PCI e1x slot and this PCI e1x slot giving you five
usable PCI Express slots total even if you're using a dual graphics card
configuration now the cooling on this board is done in a pretty neat way so
you've actually got very low profile heat sinks on the chipsets and then
you've got higher profile heat sinks connected via a heat pipe to those that
are actually going to receive quite a bit of incidental cooling from whatever
CPU cooling solution you're using so you're able to cool the chipsets and
keep everything very flat on the board which is convenient for installing
graphics card so you don't have anything in the way of these clips or anything like that and then you can actually do
the cooling up here and keep it all centralized in one place so let's go
ahead and oh I missed the fire wire Port sorry there's a front firewire port as
well on this guy all right moving along here back panel connector we've got
dedicated PS2 ports which I actually like I still like the PS2 Port you never
know when you'll need it we've got a clear seos button Optical as well as
coaxial digital audio out four USB 3.0
ports on the back panel four USB 2.0 ports dual gigabit Ethernet we've got
firewire eat as well as 7.1 audio out
now I'm actually just going to because they list their
uh because they list their uh their their features so neatly on the back of
the motherboard box I'm actually going to go ahead and tell you guys if I
missed anything so yeah we've got full support for ker unlocked processors
which I did not mention before and I think that's pretty much it I covered it
pretty well then good on me oh great yeah supports
up to DDR3 2133 dual channel on these
slots so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the p67 motherboard from the
