00:00:00,919 --> 00:00:09,280
today we're going to be having a look at the Zotac h55 ITX Wi-Fi mind you that's

2
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:14,280
not really the whole story today this is the whole story now with USB 3.0 because

3
00:00:11,799 --> 00:00:19,720
they had a board called this before but this is the C- e revision which features

4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,240
USB 3.0 now I don't think we ever actually unboxed the original board so

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:28,279
why don't we run through all of the aspects of this board since this is an

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,759
unboxing in First Look it's an h55 board

7
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:36,239
so it does feature an LGA 11 56 socket with support for core I3 Core i5 and

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:39,160
even core i7 quad cores up to a Max TDP

9
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:43,399
of 95 Watts we have Intel quick path technology Intel HD graphics ready

10
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:48,680
although this is the big one PCI Express 16x because HD graphics is not quite as

11
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:54,120
impressive as being able to put a GTX 480 on a motherboard that's smaller than

12
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:54,120
a GTX

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:03,160
480 there it is okay hold on there's more though dual Channel DDR3 up to 13

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:08,119
33 MHz two dims up to 8 gigs of RAM six SATA to stop moving the what are you

15
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:14,200
doing oh I guess that makes sense 10 USB 2.0 ports 2 USB 3.0 ports that's a lot

16
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:17,320
of USB gigabit Lan 802.11 n Wi-Fi that

17
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:21,320
is n standard Wi-Fi up to 300 megabits

18
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:25,520
per second and that is one featur rich

19
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:28,720
board so here this is your antenna plug

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,040
PCI bracket thing so you will use this

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,320
to plug in your antennas which are also included with the board like they really

22
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,439
do include everything it's kind of neat how sometimes you know when you compare

23
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:44,200
like a a of like a small product it seems to

24
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,200
come with a big accessory

25
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:51,399
package there's two antennas there is a

26
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:54,399
DVI to VGA adapter that is an I/O back

27
00:01:51,399 --> 00:01:56,240
plate very solid feeling here's an

28
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:01,360
extension cable in just case you need to extend your CPU four pin connector to a

29
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:06,799
longer CPU four pin connector then you've got three SATA cables which is an

30
00:02:04,119 --> 00:02:12,879
odd amount and finally a quick installation guide and finally again a

31
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:17,160
users manual with a DVD that you should CD rather that you should throw away and

32
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:22,400
download the latest from Zotac check that out lifetime warranty in USA Mexico

33
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:29,959
Canada and Latin American so Latin America so uh yeah eat it Europe Middle

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,160
East and APAC that's Asian Pacific asan

35
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:35,400
I believe something like that anyway we

36
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:41,599
win we get a lifetime warranty you get only a 5year warranty which is actually

37
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:45,480
still pretty freaking good for a

38
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:47,360
motherboard five years is uh is is

39
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,720
actually outstanding compared to some of the tier one motherboard

40
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,319
manufacturers so here we are let's have a look at the overall board layout I

41
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:58,640
thought this was actually I thought I was showing you the board right side up

42
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,200
but it looks like I'm not it looks like now I'm showing you the board right side

43
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:07,319
up so let's start with the CPU socket as I mentioned before this is an LGA 1156

44
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:13,640
socket with all the latest Intel processors supported that is the ones on

45
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:16,760
this socket not the LGA 1366 processors

46
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:18,879
we have a PCI Express 16x slot we have a

47
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,680
four pin CPU power connector we got a heat sink right about here you can see

48
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,040
this had to be kind of machined down in order to make room for the CPU fan but

49
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:31,840
that means it's going to get a lot of incidental air flow from whatever fan you do install and you better make sure

50
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:34,920
whatever CPU heat sink you install it's giving that some airf flow because this

51
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:38,560
is meant to be installed in cramped cases where cooling isn't always the

52
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:44,920
best and if it's designed to work this way make sure it works this way we have

53
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,560
a battery we have our h55 chipset six

54
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:52,120
SATA 2 ports two USB headers I mean really this thing has like a ton of USB

55
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:57,159
I mean what is that 10 USB 2.0 on the back let me just verify that really

56
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,439
quick No 1 2 3 4 5 6 no no that included

57
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:04,079
the the the four here okay so 10 total and then two USB 3.0 so it's all good

58
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:08,360
all right we have our Wireless N PC mini PCI Express card as well as our dual

59
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Channel DDR3 slot supporting up to 8 gigs of RAM and a 24 pin connector here

60
00:04:11,239 --> 00:04:17,239
is your CPU no this is system fan and

61
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:21,560
this is your CPU fan connector so you have two four pin pwm fan connectors on

62
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:26,360
this particular board here is your front panel connector headers and then that

63
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,840
looks like your front audio connector right there this board does not include

64
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:35,240
fire wire which is fine because fire wire is mostly useless anyway and let's

65
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:40,560
have a look at the io on the back here we go we have a reset SEO switch that is

66
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:46,960
Hardcore I want you to look closely at that cameraman clear SOS on the back

67
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:50,880
panel I love this on a board like that's

68
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,680
barely as big as a simos battery it's

69
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:58,400
epic it's awesome if that doesn't call for overclocking then I don't know what

70
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,000
else does so we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 USB

71
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:07,759
2.0 ports as I mentioned before two USB 3.0 ports a PS2 Port which I do still

72
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,320
like to see DVI HDMI eat gigabit

73
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:15,240
Ethernet optical audio out as well as 7.1 audio and then this is another thing

74
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:21,240
that I just think I should call attention to I talked about this uh

75
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:22,919
previously on an ASUS video card look at

76
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,680
the matte black PCB I mean that is

77
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:33,120
awesome everything should come with a matte black PCB I mean look at it it

78
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:38,759
makes everything look way cooler I mean if if Batman was in like glossy piano

79
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:43,479
black or you know that that color that's like more like brown than black like if

80
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:47,919
Batman wore that color he wouldn't look as cool but he wears matte black and

81
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:52,759
that's why he looks awesome unless you watch the really old show where he wears

82
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:55,560
like gray and it's like

83
00:05:52,759 --> 00:06:00,400
tights Batman was less cool then thank you for watching lus Tech tips and don't
